Skyhawk Oversea Passive Infrared Motion Sensor - SHPIRG1

Passive Infrared Motion Sensor

The PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is designed to detect motion by identifying temperature differences, such as the heat emitted by a person entering its field of view. For optimal performance, this sensor should be installed in a secluded area free from other heat sources that could trigger false alerts.

For example, if the sensor’s range includes a boat cover, it may generate false alerts due to the cover’s movement in the wind, as the sensor cannot distinguish between a person and a warm boat cover. Ensuring that the sensor is positioned away from potential sources of heat and movement will maximize its accuracy and reliability in detecting genuine motion events.
