What is a Motion Sensor?

The motion sensor is an infrared

human detection sensor, which, as

opposed to factory automation sen-

sors that are used with factory

equipment, is designed to be incor-

porated into various devices that

exist around us in daily life.

Motion sensors are not for use in

factory automation.

Types of motion sensor

Motion sensors are divided into two types.

The world’s smallest with a built-in amplifier

Passive infrared type

MP Motion Sensor ‘

’

Designed to cover a wide area, this sensor detects

human presence. The sensor, rather than emitting light

such as from LEDs, detects the amount of change in

infrared rays that occurs when a person (object),

whose temperature is different from the surroundings,

moves.

1.What is a Motion Sensor?

Application of MP Motion Sensor ‘

’

Method of use

Automatically turn indoor lighting on and off

Use as a human detection sensor to automatically

turn lights on when a person is present in a room

and to turn them off when nobody is there.

Points to consider when selecting

a sensor

1. The presence of a person must be detected

over a side area (room).

2. Even slight human motion must be detected.

MP Motion Sensor

Other application examples

Recommended conditions of use

1. Detection over a wide area (see note).

2. When the detection range extends to the wall or floor.

Note: If you wish to limit the range of detection, we recommended a spot type sensor.

Application of MA Motion Sensor

Method of use

Running machine in athletic club

To prevent the runner from falling when he or she

tires and becomes unable to keep up with the

belt, the sensor slows the belt when the runner

falls back out of the detection area of the sensor.

Sensing area

Sensor

Points to consider when selecting a sensor

1. The detection area must be limited so that only

the person using the running machine is

detected.

2. The detection distance must be limited.

MA Motion Sensor

Other application examples

Recommended conditions of use

1. Non-moving people (objects) and objects without a temperature difference are to be detected.

2. The detection distance and area must be limited (see note).

Note: With the aim of widening the detection range, the external trigger type, which prevents reciprocal interfer-

ence, is recommended when using multiple sensors.

Application example

Examples of automatic advertising and automatic verbal guidance

(ticket machines, vending machines, ATMs, illuminated photographs, etc.)

2.When a person is close to

the device:

1.Advertising when a person walks

past the device.

•The device is turned on

•Instructions for using the

machine are heard

The presence of a person in a very

limited range must be detected, there-

fore the detection area is small. We

recommend the area reflective type

MA Motion Sensor, which enables the

detection range to be select.

Detection is necessary over a

wide area, therefore we recom-

mended the passive infrared type

‘

’ MP Motion Sensor.

The current situation:

Techniques for reducing device power

consumption will increase dramatically.

To preserve the global environment

At the Kyoto conference for the prevention of global warming held in 1997, it was

agreed that “by 2008–2012, Japan will attempt to reduce the output of green-

house gases by 6% with respect to 1990 levels.”

Efforts in various fields to reduce greenhouse gases

Environmental action:

The beginning of “energy-saving” competition

Government

From the latter half of 1998 to the former half of 1999, the Ministry of International

Trade and Industry began enforcement of the Energy Saving Act, which requires

manufacturers to conserve energy.

The focal point of this act is the “Top Runner Method”, whereby “Excellent products” having the

highest energy efficiency are selected. This energy efficiency becomes a standard that other

products are required to meet within a certain period. Manufacturers unable to meet this stan-

dard are subject to punishment. A total of ten products are scheduled for implementation,

including automobiles and electrical appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, televi-

sions, VCRs, and personal computers.

Manufacturers

“Energy saving” is becoming an increasingly important factor in consumer selec-

tion of products. Manufacturers are therefore promoting their technical prowess

and aggressive stance with respect 10 environmental problems.

2 _{Operating principle of Motion Sensor}

MP Motion Sensor ‘

’

Overall, from the standpoint of detection performance, noise resistance,

causes of false detection and cost performance, the passive infrared type

is the most practical means of detecting the human body without contact.

All objects on the earth emit light in accor-

dance with their temperature and surface

characteristics. Naturally, light (infrared radia-

tion) is also emitted from our bodies. (This radi-

Radiation from

human body: 10µm

ation is emitted from the body surface, and is

centered around a wave-length of 10µm.)

When a person enters the detection area of

the sensor, the amount of infrared radiation

incident on the sensor varies by the

amount corresponding to the difference in

temperature between the body surface and

background.

These sensors detect the human

Infrared radiation

body by detecting the change in

incident infrared radiation.

That is, the sensor is actuated by the differ-

ence in temperature between human body

(which is a heat source) and floor, walls and

2. Operating principle of Motion Sensor

MA Motion Sensor

These sensors detect the human body via the area reflection system.

Reflected beam

Output

Light beam

Non-contact switch

The sensor sends out a ray of light toward the human body, then uses the reflect-

ed light to measure the distance and determine whether there is a person within

a given distance of the sensor. If the sensor decides that there is a person within

the given distance, it sets an output non-contact switch to ON.

The triple-angle distance measurement configuration makes it difficult

to be affected by the color (reflection ratio) of the detection object.

This is the high-precision distance measurement method used in the

auto-focus systems in cameras.

The system is configured so that the received light spot comes almost the center

of the photo detectors when if a human body is located at the detection distance L.

The system determines whether the body is farther (L+ ▲ L) or closer (L ▲ L) by

the position of the received light spot.

Our motion sensor is based on know-how developed

over many years, including our proprietary technolo-

Proprietary circuit technology which is different from ordinary FET

technology is used to create a single-chip IC which contains both an

amplifier circuit and a comparator circuit.

3. Features of MP Motion Sensor

FEATURE

Circuit design is easy because the amp and comparator are built in (except for analog output type).

2

The digital output enables connec-

tion directly to microcomputers.

Key point

To achieve the same scheme as the ‘

’

MP Motion Sensor, a sensor element, amplifier

and comparator are required.

The output from the sensor element is extremely

weak in the passive infrared scheme, thus the signal

must be amplified and converted to an ON/OFF sig-

nal with a comparator circuit before output.

Shielding is increased because the

amp circuit is built into the TO5

metal package.

Key point

To achieve the same scheme as the NaPiOn MP

Motion Sensor, a countermeasure for radiant noise

in general is necessary. If noise enters the circuit

between the sensor element and the amplifier, the

noise will be amplified along with the weak signal,

resulting in detection errors.

A wide horizontal detection range has been achieved for situations where

the sensor will be attached to a wall and used to detect passersby.

Notes:

1) Detection is also possible with the sensor attached to the ceiling.

2) In situations where the customer wants use a sensor attached to a wall to

detect slight movements, recommend the slight movement detection type.

6

Designed for situations in which the surrounding environment has an adverse effect

on performance (when you want to reduce the difference between the background

temperature of summer and winter, or eliminate the effect of varying air conditioner

output). Being able to check the degree of influence using an analog value, the user

can set the threshold whereby such influence can be ignored.

3. Features of MA Motion Sensor

Area reflective type

MA Motion Sensor

FEATURE

Because of the distance-measured type, accurate sensing is possible

with little influence caused by reflection ratio of the detection object.

1

With commonly used light intensity type sensors (which detect objects by the amount

of reflected light), performance is greatly affected by the reflectivity of the detected

object.

However, since the MA motion sensor does not detect based on the amount of reflect-

ed rays, it features the ability not to be easily influenced by the reflection ratio because

detection is based on the position of the receiving spot in the receive element.

detection

The system detects whether an object is

present by the position of the received

light spot on a photo detector, so it is not

greatly affected by reflectivity.

Since detection is determined by inten-

sity, the influence of reflection ration is

likely.

A non-spherical lens is used both for projector and receiver.

Using a non-spherical lens in this sensor, the projector lens can produce the incident

light efficiently from the light-emitting element. In addition, the receiver lens can effi-

ciently gather the entering light into the photo detector. As a result, an accurate dis-

tance measurement can be made even if the detected object has low reflectivity.

Efficient projection and

condensation is possible.

Three types “Short type”, “Middle type” and “Long type” are available.

Naturally, the shorter the distance, the more compact the type.

Factory automation sensors are used under conditions which are closely con-

trolled to suit the application. MA motion sensors, however, are built into equip-

ment, so they may sometimes be used at locations which are exposed to sunlight

(however, the direct sunlight to sensor is impossible).

Sensor for FA application

MA Motion Sensor

Sensor may be used at a bright location

which are exposed to sunlight

Closely controlled environment

Usable ambient brightness (ambient light immunity) is one of the impor-

tant points to be checked when using sensors in bright locations.

Normally, for factory automation

applications the usable ambient

brightness is 3,000 to 10,000 lx.

MA motion sensors can operate at

30,000 lx, i.e, the brightness near a

window on a summer day.

FEATURE

Circuit design is easy

6

The detection result takes the form of ON/OFF output (open collector transistor out-

put), thus a reference circuit is not necessary and circuit design is easy.

FEATURE

All models with built-in oscillation circuit type meet CE

mark standards

7

Conforms with EMC directive for CE certification vital for use in Europe.

FEATURE

High speed detection is possible

8

• Built-in oscillation circuit type: measuring period 8 ms/time (typical)

• External triggering type: measuring period 5 ms/time (typical)

the “on” state or “off” state. This is true regardless of whether or not the sensor has detected

anything.

For this reason, please combine with a device that contains a function for preventing output

during this time.

1. What is a Motion Sensor?

2. Cautions for use

Cautions for MP Motion Sensor ‘

’

1. Checkpoints relating to principle of operation

MP motion sensors are passive infrared sensors which

detect changes in the infrared rays. They may fail to

detect successfully if a heat source other than a human

being is detected or if there are no temperature changes

in or movement of a heat source. Care must generally be

taken in the following cases. The performance and relia-

bility of the sensors must be checked out under condi-

tions of actual use.

2. Other handling cautions

1) Be careful not to allow dust or dirt to accumulate on

the lens as this will adversely affect the detection sen-

sitivity.

2) The lens is made of a soft material (polyethylene).

Avoid applying a load or impact since this will deform

or scratch the lens, making proper operation impossi-

ble and causing a deterioration in its performance.

3) The sensor may be damaged if it is exposed to static

with a voltage exceeding ±200V. Therefore, do not

touch its terminals directly, and exercise adequate care

in the handling of the sensor.

4) When the leads are to be soldered, solder them by

hand for less than 3 seconds at a temperature of less

than 350°C 662°F at the tip of the soldering iron. Avoid

using a solder bath since this will causing a deteriora-

tion in the sensor’s performance.

<1> Cases where a heat source other than a human being

is detected.

1) When a small animal enters the detection range.

2) When the sensor is directly exposed to sunlight, a

vehicle’s headlights, an incandescent light or some

other source of far infrared rays.

3) When the temperature inside the detection range has

changed suddenly due to the entry of cold or warm

air from an air-conditioning or heating unit, water

vapor from a humidifier, etc.

5) Do not attempt to clean the sensor. Cleaning fluid may

enter inside the lens area causing a deterioration in

performance.

<2> Cases where it is difficult to detect the heat source

1) When an object made of glass, acrylic or other sub-

ject which far infrared rays have difficult passing

through is located between the sensor and what is to

be detected.

6) When using the sensors with cables, it is recommend-

ed that cables which are shielded and as short as pos-

sible be used in order to safeguard against the effects

of noise.

2) When the heat source inside the detection range

hardly moves or when it moves at high speed; for

details on the movement speed, refer to the section

on the performance ratings.

Cautions for MA Motion Sensor

1. Ambient operating conditions

(e.g., mirror, glass, coated paper, etc.)

4) The front surface of the lens and case are made of

polycarbonate resin and can withstand water, alcohol,

oils, salts and weak acids. Other fluids such as alka-

lines, aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydro-

carbons may melt or swell the lens and case, please

do not have such fluids touch the lens and case.

5) To protect the inner circuit, wiring should be max. 3 m

9.843 ft..

4. Recommended installation procedure

Install the MA motion sensor so that it is orientated cor-

rectly in relation to the pass directions of the target

objects as shown in the figure below.

1) Avoid using the sensor in environments containing

excessive amounts of steam, dust, corrosive gas, or

where organic solvents are present.

2) When the sensor is used in noisy environments, con-

nect a capacitor (minimum 33 µF) across its power

input terminals.

2. Wiring

1) Check all wiring before applying power. Incorrect wiring

may damage the internal circuit (in particular, check

that the connection to the power supply is not

reversed.)

2) Avoid excessive removing and replacing of the connec-

tor.

3. Detector surface (Optical surface)

1) Keep the detector surface clean. Excessive dust or dirt

on the detector surface will deteriorate the sensing

performance.

Object

2) Do not allow condensation or freezing to occur on the

surface of the sensor. If condensation or freezing does

occur at low temperatures, the sensor may not detect

objects correctly.

3) This product is designed to detect the existence of

human body. The sensor will not detect objects consist-

ing of a low reflective material (e.g., an object coated

with black rubber, etc.) or of a highly reflective material

Notes for Motion Sensor

1. Ambient operating conditions

3. Concerning power supply-superimposed noise

Use a regulated power supply as the power supply.

Otherwise, power supply-superimposed noise may cause

the sensors to malfunction. The levels of noise which the

sensor can withstand is given below.

1) Temperature: Refer to the absolute maximum ratings

for the temperature of each individual sensor.

2) Humidity: 15% to 85% RH (No freezing nor condensa-

tion at low temperature)

3) Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa

MA motion sensors: ±200 V (50ms, 1µs wide square

waves)

MP motion sensors: ±20 V (50ms, 1µs wide square

waves)

4) The sensors do not have a water-proof or dust-proof

construction. Depending on the ambient operating con-

ditions, some means of providing protection from water

and dust and preventing the formation of ice and con-

densation must be provided prior to using the sensors.

5) Take care to avoid exposing the sensors to heat, vibra-

tion or impact since malfunctioning may result.

2. Concerning external surge voltages

4. Drop damage

If the sensor is dropped, damage can occur resulting in

incorrect operation. If dropped, be sure to do a visual

check of the exterior for noticeable damage and check

the operation characteristics for faulty operation.

Since the internal circuitry may be destroyed if an exter-

nal surge voltages is supplied, provide an element which

will absorb the surges. The levels of the voltage surges

which the sensor can withstand is given below.

MA motion sensors: 500 V (±1.2 x 50µs unipolar full-

wave voltage)

5. Concerning the circuit sides

Since the circuit sides given in this catalog are not pro-

tected in terms of circuit design, check out the perfor-

mance and reliability of the circuits prior to using the sen-

sors.

6. The technical information contained in this catalog is

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Head the following precautions to prevent injury or accidents.

• Do not use these sensors under any circumstances in

which the range of their ratings, environment conditions

or other specifications are exceeded. Using the sen-

sors in any way which causes their specifications to be

exceeded may generate abnormally high levels of heat,

emit smoke, etc., resulting in damage to the circuitry

and possibly causing an accident.

• Before connecting a connector, check the pin layout by

referring to the connector wiring diagram, specifications

diagram, etc., and make sure that the connector is con-

nected properly. Take note that mistakes made in con-

nection may cause unforeseen problems in operation,

generate abnormally high levels of heat, emit smoke,

etc., resulting in damage to the circuitry.

• Do not use any motion sensor which has been disas-

sembled or remodeled.

• The sensor has two malfunction modes: short circuit

and open.

The short circuit mode may be triggered by an increase

in temperature. In order to ensure safety, especially in

important applications, please consider suitable safety

measures such as a protective circuit or protection

device.

Q

Is light for motion detection constantly

8

No.

The ‘

9

It may.

The sensor is rated for "detection or no detection" based on specific input

conditions. The meaning of "Standard type, maximum 5 m" and "Slight

motion type, maximum 2 m" in the catalogue is "the maximum distance at

which detection is guaranteed".

A

The sensor detects motion based on the difference between the ambient

temperature and the surface temperature of the person that entered the

detection area, and the conditions of each will give rise to small variations

in detection performance.

Q

What is the difference between the detec-

14

Detection zone

•

The zone that people are detected in. In the sensor area there are four

A

infrared elements.

A lens of one of these elements projects and this creates four detection

zones.

Detection area

•

The detection area treats the four detection zones as a group and is the

number of lenses of the projected detection zones collection.

Q

For digital output type, if a person keeps mov-

state persists, what kind of output appears?

Q16

15

ON/OFF is repeatedly output.

When the detection state persists, the characteristics of the passive infrared

element cause it to repeatedly output an analog waveform as shown in the

time chart below. The output is amplified by the amplifier circuit, and when it

exceeds a certain reference level (reference voltage), detection results and

ON is output. When the reference level is not exceeded, OFF is output.

Q15

What is the duration of output from the

sensor after one detection?

At least 10 ms.

The output from the passive infrared element will vary depending on the

speed of the detected object and the difference between the temperature of

the object and the ambient temperature.

The output from the passive infrared element is amplified by the amplifier. If

the amplified output exceeds the reference voltage, a person is regarded as

being detected and ON is output. For this reason the duration of one output

is not fixed; however, it lasts at least 10 ms due to circuit characteristics.

Q37

Q43

20

The background is the temperature of the environment surrounding (but not

When a person enters the sensor's detection area, the quantity of infrared

radiation incident on the sensor changes by an amount equivalent to the

temperature difference between the person and the background. The MP

motion sensor ‘NaPiOn’ detects a person by detecting this change in inci-

dent infrared radiation. In other words, the sensor operates in response to

the difference in temperature between the human body, a source of heat,

and the background such as the floor and walls.

Q

Q20

Should I assume that detection is not pos-

30

sible in direct light?

The maximum ambient operating illumination of the sensor is 30,000 Lx.

Even in bright sunlight, and even if light shines directly on the sensor or on

the object of detection, the sensor will operate correctly as long as the illu-

mination does not exceed 30,000 Lx.

However, if an inverter light is directly within the detection area of the sen-

sor (plus or minus several degrees), the sensor will not operate correctly.

This is because the sensor cannot distinguish between light emitted from

the sensor and light from the inverter light.

A

The sensor will operate correctly in the direction of

the sun as long as its optical axis does not point

directly toward the sun. The field of detection of the

sensor is plus or minus several degrees, so there

will be no problem if the sensor’s optical axis is

shifted 15° away from the sun.

Q14

What is the non-sensitivity zone?

Q15

Q27

23

This is the area extending from several millimetres in front

of the sensor to several tens of millimetres where the sen-

sor does not operate.

A

The sensor detects the presence of an object based on the position of entry

in the receiver element of the light reflected off the object. If the object is in

immediate proximity to the sensor, the light emitted from the sensor does

not return to the receiver element and the object is not detected. As the

sensor will be incorporated into a device, it is frequently used with a front

cover, and the non-sensitivity zone keeps the cover from being detected

and helps the sensor operate normally.

This is

the non-sensitivity zone!

Q

What is open collector output?

22

A transistor is used in the output. When the sensor detects

a person or object, the transistor turns on and current flows

from the collector to the emitter, outputting a signal.

A

When open collector output is used, the current flow

and voltage applied to the load connected to the

output can be set as desired. This enables wide

range of use in sequencers and other devices.

Q18

What is your policy with respect to aging

19

We estimate the life of the sensor based on testing in the operating environ-

In the case of the MA Motion Sensor, the light emitting diode has the most

effect on operation. We estimate the life of the diode based on accelerated

reliability tests (THB tests, etc.). The tests indicate that the sensor should

operate without problem for 10 years or more, a result that past products

have held up.

Q

Can detection take place when the object

is closer than the rated detection dis-

tance?

Q13

Q15

Q23

14

Yes.

The sensor emits an infrared beam, measures the distance to the person

(object) by means of the light reflected back, and determines whether or not

the object is within the detection distance.

However, with the exception of the non-sensitive zone in the immediate

proximity of the sensor where light reflected off the object cannot return to

the receiver lens, the sensor detects objects anywhere within the rated

detection distance.

Q

Q13

Does temperature affect the detection dis-

tance?

12

Yes.

The area reflective type MA Motion Sensor detects an object based on the

position of the infrared beam that reflects off of the object and returns to the

sensor. When the temperature changes, differences in the coefficients of lin-

ear expansion of the sensor components can cause the distance between

the lenses, and the distance between the projector and receiver elements,

to expand or contract. This changes the position of the returning infrared

beam and thus the detection distance.

A

The amount of the change is several percent over the operating tempera-

ture range of the sensor (–25°C to 75°C).

See here as well!

Q

Is it possible to select a new setting for

the detection distance after receiving the

sensor?

Q12

Q14

Q15

13

No, you cannot set the detection distance once the sensor

has been shipped from the factory.

A

The rated detection distance is determined by the lens position adjustment.

Since this procedure is done at the factory before shipping you cannot set

this afterwards once the sensor has been shipped. Please select a sensor

according to your application with the appropriate detection distance from

the products provided below.

Q

Q24

Q27

Q28

Does dirt on the front cover (filter) affect

performance?

9

Dirt has almost no effect.

The MA Motion Sensor takes the detected differ-

ence in distance between an object with 90%

reflectance and an object with 18% reflectance as

“distance measurement error”. Even if the reflected

light intensity decreases to 1/5 its original value

due to dirt, the distance measurement error will still

be under this value.

A

No problem!

See here as well!

Q

Q11

What is the output wavelength of the sen-

sor’s infrared LED?

10

The output reaches a momentary (max. 10 µs) power of 180 mW, and the

wavelength is approximately 900 nm. This is about the same as a typical

remote control.

A

See here as well!

Does a remote control ever cause detec-

tion errors?

Q

11

The sensor uses the same type of light emitting element as a remote con-

trol, and as such detection errors are possible. However, to produce a

detection error the following conditions must be met:

A

Careful,

a detection

* The remote control must be within the field of

detection of the sensor.

* The timing of remote control operation must coin-

cide with the interval of several tens of microsec-

onds that the MA Motion Sensor accepts light.

* Sufficient power is required.

error may

occur!

Due to these conditions, random operation of a remote control pointed

toward the MA Motion Sensor will result in erroneous detection only once

every several tens of times.

Q11

Q12

1. Is there anything in front of the MA Motion Sensor with a

reflective surface such as a mirror, metallic plate, or mar-

ble?

A

Just as light reflects in a mirror, the infrared light emitted by the sensor will

reflect off of an object with a reflective surface and return to the sensor.

If this occurs, change the angle of attachment of the sensor slightly (no

more than several degrees) as shown below.

Be aware of

reflective

surfaces!

Up and

down

directions

2. Is the sensor detecting the surface on which it is

installed?

The sensor emits infrared light in the form of a spot beam that gradually

expands. The beam projector element is in the bottom part of the sensor,

and thus if the sensor is installed on a surface parallel to the beam (wall,

floor or ceiling), the beam may hit the surface and reflect back into the sen-

sor. We recommend that you raise the sensor slightly off of the installation

surface (approx. 50mm).

Q

Q8

Is detection performance affected by the

7

type of clothing worn?

The effect of clothing is negligible.

Light intensity type sensors, which have been in common use, detect an

object based on the amount of reflected light and for this reason tend to be

affected by the type of clothing worn. The MA Motion Sensor is a distance

measurement type sensor, and variations in the detected distance due to

differences in clothing material or color are negligible.

A

Stable detection is possible of objects having a reflectance

ranging from 90% to 18%.

The reflectance of clothing and body parts is indicated below.

* Objects with a high reflectance

White cloth, white shirts, white sport shirts

* Intermediate objects

Detectable objects

Objects with a colored pattern

three meters. If inverters, motors, switching devices, or other devices are in

close proximity, special caution is needed. If the sensor is going to be used

Performance is slightly affected.

The MP Motion Sensor detects the difference between the ambient temper-

the person and the ambient temperature. The human body emits more

energy in the summer when people tend to wear clothing that exposes

Q

Q20

Q21

Q22

Q23

Q46

Does the ambient temperature affect

detection sensitivity?

43

Yes.

Seasonal changes in the ambient temperature change the sensitivity of the

sensor. Detection becomes more difficult in the summer because there is

less difference between the ambient temperature and the surface of the

human body. In winter, the reverse is true.

A

Q

Does detection take place when the ambient temperature

is higher than the human body? How about when the

ambient temperature is the same as the human body?

Q20

Q21

Q22

Q23

44

Yes.

The sensor operates by detecting temperature changes caused by the

motion of a body of a different temperature than the ambient temperature.

Therefore, detection takes place when the ambient temperature is higher

than the human body. Detection is also possible even when the ambient

temperature is the same as the human body because not all parts of the

body are the same temperature and the differences are detected when the

body moves.

Q

Q20

Q33

Does sunlight affect performance?

45

Yes.

When the sun suddenly shines or stops

shining on the sensor, temperature

changes occur. The sensor detects these

changes and may output a detection sig-

nal. Be sure to install the sensor in a

location not exposed to sunlight.

A

Q

I would like to detect small animals like

mice. What is the smallest object that can

be detected?

Q40

41

The minimum detection size is that of one multi-lens (a circle several mil-

limetres in diameter) when the object is in immediate proximity to the MP

Motion Sensor.

Detection takes place when the object blocks part of the detection area and

a temperature difference occurs. As the distance from the sensor increases,

the detection area grows, and a larger object is necessary to create the

temperature difference needed for detection.

A

The minimum detection size depends on the distance from the object to the

sensor and the magnitude of the temperature difference. Use the sizes indi-

cated in the following x-y cross-section diagram as a reference.

Q45

How should the sensor be waterproofed?

34

The sensor itself is not waterproof. The following is an

example of how it can be waterproofed.

A

General waterproofing example

Cover the entire sensor with a box, and use a polyethylene sheet for the front

face. The thickness of the polyethylene sheet should be no more than 0.5

mm. If any thicker, the sensitivity of the sensor will drop by more than half.

Polyethylene sheet

Caution:

Sensitivity will fall. Be sure to

verify that the sensor performs

as desired in the actual condi-

tions of use.

Q

Q33

Q34

Does condensation ever form inside the

metal package of the sensor?

35

In general, no. However, be sure to perform performance and

reliability tests in the operating environment before com-

mencing design.

A

Dry air is sealed into the metal can package of the sensor, thus there is in

general almost no moisture inside the metal can. However, if the sensor is

to be used outdoors, take sufficient measures for waterproofing and protec-

tion against dust, condensation and freezing.

Q38

Q39

What is the difference between the stan-

dard type and the slight motion type?

32

In general the standard type is for detection of large-scale motion, such as

a person walking. The slight motion type is for small-scale movement such

as slight movements of the hands or head of a person sitting.

When you need uniform detection sensitivity over a wide, far-reaching area,

use the standard type. When you need to detect people that are sitting and

barely move such as in a conference room or office, or people that move

only slightly, use the slight motion type.

Q35

Q45

Is outdoor use possible?

33

Basically, you should not.

MP motion sensors are designed for indoor use (for common indoor elec-

tronic devices). If you need to use a sensor outdoors, take measures to

waterproof the sensor and protect it from dust, condensation, and freezing.

There are many causes of temperature changes outdoors, and detection

Q

What is a comparator?

30

The amount of infrared radiation emitted from the human body is very

small, and the signal cannot be processed by the circuit as is. For this rea-

son, the signal is amplified by the amplifier circuit. The amplified signal must

then be compared to the reference level. If the amplified circuit is greater

than the reference level, a person is considered to have entered the detec-

tion area and a signal is output. The circuit that makes this comparison

A

is called a comparator.

Q

When does current consumption standby

occur?

31

When the time required for stabilization has elapsed and the sensor is

ready for detection, two states are possible depending the condition of the

detection area:

1. A person has entered the detection area (detection output ON)

2. Nobody is in the detection area (detection output OFF)

Number 2 above is the standby state. (Number 1 is the detection state.)

The difference between the standby state and the detection state is that the

output circuit is off in the standby state, and therefore current consumption

is less than in the detection state.

Q

What is a passive infrared element?

28

This is a sensor element whose surface is pre-charged. The charge

changes due to infrared radiation from the object detected, and the change

is output as a voltage change.

Q

What is the tolerance to external

surges and noise?

25

Noise (noise components) from the ambient environment

and power supply will affect operation.

A

Use the sensor in an environment with as little noise as possible.

Reference:

Distance at which cellular telephone noise does not affect sensor: 1 to 2 cm or greater

What is your policy with respect to

age deterioration?

Q

26

We estimate the age deterioration in the operating environ-

ment of the sensor based on testing of the components hav-

ing the greatest effect on operation.

A

In the case of the NpPiOn sensor, the passive infrared elements have the

most effect on operation. We estimate the age deterioration of the sensor

based on accelerated reliability tests (THB tests, etc.). The test results indi-

cate that the sensor should operate without problem at normal room tem-

perature and humidity for 10 years or more.

Q

What will happen if a sensor is used out-

side of the operating ambient temperature

range?

Q22

Q43

Q44

23

A detection signal may be output even though nothing is

detected.

Or, a detection signal may not be output even though a person is

detected. (Performance cannot be guaranteed.) The operating ambient

temperature range is –20°C to +60°C.

Q

Q33

What will happen if dirt or dust gathers on

the sensor surface?

Dust has hardly any effect on sen-

sor operation.

No problem with dust

A

or small debris!

However, a large piece of debris that covers

part of the lens surface will interfere with

operation.
