The Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens), the first product to use the new PaPIRs+ technology, is Panasonic Industry’s most recent PIR motion sensor innovation.
The Flat Wide Detection Type is designed for smart home markets, professional lighting control, and modern building automation. Its sleek, discreet flat lens integrates seamlessly with any aesthetically demanding application.
With a wide field of view of 136.4° × 135.4°, it maximizes coverage, reducing the number of sensors needed and simplifying installation.
By redesigning the pyroelectric elements, PaPIRs+ delivers twice the sensitivity compared to PaPIRs series, enabling it to detect even small movements across a large area with exceptional accuracy. This advancement ensures reliable performance in diverse settings, from offices and schools to residential spaces.
Specifications of the new Flat Wide Detection Type PaPIRs+ sensor:
- Maximum coverage of ? Ø15 m at 3.0 m ceiling mounting height
- 416 detection zones providing gap-free motion detection
- Lens diameter: 32.6 mm
- Current consumption: four variants ranging from 1 µA to 170 µA
- Output interfaces: digital (open-drain) and analogue (op-amp)
- Operating temperature range: –20 °C to +60 °C
- Lens color options: white, pearl white, and black
- Lens form factor identical to the High-Bay Aisle sensor: “Ultra-Wide and Long-Distance Detection Type (11-lens)”
- Lens design supports O-ring sealing for enhanced IP ratings
Leadership Comments
“Our new “Flat Wide Detection” sensor exemplifies the fusion of flat design with outstanding detection performance. Thanks to PaPIRs+ technology, it detects very small movements of not only moving but also sitting individuals across a large area, it is perfectly suited for applications in office environments, hotels, or public offices.” says Robert Spiegler, Lead Product Manager Industrial Sensors. “This sensor combines sleek, compact aesthetics with unparalleled sensitivity. It sets a new standard in product design and detection performance!”
This latest Flat Wide Detection Type represents a significant leap forward in PIR sensor technology, setting a new standard for aesthetics, sensitivity, and ease of installation.
The PIR sensor’s capabilities for tangential, radial and minor motion were extensively tested in Panasonic’s laboratories in Japan under standardized IEC63180 measurement and test norms.
In case you are interested in the detailed results and test procedures, one can approach Panasonic Industry at Embedded World, 10th-12th March in Nuremberg, booth 4A-103 or reach out to the company via email or on Flat Wide Detection Type (12 lens), to arrange a background talk with the company’s expert, Robert Spiegler.
