PIR Detector HX-40AM

The HX-40AM is an IR detector with anti-masking and advanced technology for reliable outdoor detection. The HX-40AM's unique design, with a 20° vertical tilt from the mounting surface and included protective cover, makes the detector's lens well protected from direct sunlight and wear and tear from the elements. The lens is clearly marked with nine vertical zones, making it very easy to mask a specific area from the detection zone.

The unique pyroelectric element in the HX-40AM provides 94 dense detection zones to greatly avoid false alarms caused by rapid temperature fluctuations and other environmental changes. With an AND logic, detection in both the upper and lower pyroelectric elements is required, which effectively eliminates false alarms caused by, for example, small animals. Advanced temperature compensation ensures high detection reliability even when the ambient temperature is very close to body temperature. Using a light indicator, the HX-40AM can further adjust sensitivity at dusk and during the night, which is particularly desirable during the summer months when air and ground temperatures can vary rapidly.

The digital signal processor effectively eliminates movement from swaying vegetation in the detection area. The anti-masking is automatically adjusted to current conditions to ensure the highest possible function. To reduce the risk of false alarms caused by visible light and RFI, "DCS" (Double Conductive Shielding) technology is used. DCS means that the IR sensor is encapsulated in a conductive filter that effectively filters out RFI and white light interference (up to 100,000 Lux).
