Ultrasonic & Microwave – Active Presence Detection
Ultrasonic and microwave detectors operate
by constantly sending out signals to detect
activity in the area.
If these signals come back unchanged, there
is no movement.
When movement is detected, this causes
a distortion of the signals and the detector
switches the lights on.
Lights are kept on for as long as there is
movement in the area.
When movement ceases and the signals
show no distortion, the switch-off timer is
activated.
If no movement is detected within this period
(set to 20 minutes in this example), the lights
switch off.
Lights remain off until movement is again
detected in the monitored area.
Using all three
major types of
presence detection
technology;
passive infrared,
ultrasonic and
microwave as
demonstrated in
the above captions,
gives optimum
control covering
a vast array of
applications and
scenarios.
Microwave
and Ultrasonic
presence detection
technology
enables the range
and sensitivity
to be adjusted to
ensure a tailored
detection pattern
to suit any
application. Can
be used in offices
including open
plan areas.
