At a higher ambient temperature,
the temperature difference between the background and a human body will be
reduced. In this case the PIR could fail to readily detect a human body.
With conventional temperature compensation functions, the sensitivity of
detector must be set higher at 35°C than the
sensitivity at 25°C (normal temperature) in
order for the detector to offer a stable performance. However, with this
setting, the sensitivity of the detector is excessively high at 40°C
or over, which could lead to various problems. To overcome this drawback,
Optex's advanced temperature compensation function allows the detector's
sensitivity to automatically drop at 40°C or
higher so that the detector can perform more reliably within a wider ambient
temperature range.
