PIR Mini Sensor, angle of sensitivity?

garyg

Hi
I just noticed Parallax is selling a PIr Mini Sensor. http://www.parallax.com/product/28033
This appears to be a new product.

I did not notice a field of view specification.

I have in use at this time, two of the standard PIR parallax rev B sensors.
I have one of them mounted with a tube to narrow the field of view.
I did that to avoid false triggering during the daytime .
It works perfectly.

I have a 2nd standard PIR sensor wthout the tube, but in that application I need to turn it off
during daylight hours because of false triggering.

When I look at the picture of the Mini PIR sensor, the lense cover is different from the original standard design.

I may have missed the field of view of this product, I checked a few times and still did not see it.

Does anyone have experience with this product?

Thanks

Chris Savage

garyg,

I have requested the information from the manufacturer of the part. I will post what information is available when I have heard back.

For anyone interested in this thread, the detection angle information has been added to the product page under the 'Details' tab.

Thanks Chris and Courtney

This will definitely be worth a try.
I'll include one in my next Parallax order.
