Up to 10 meters at an angle of ± 15 degrees.

The PIR (Passive-Infrared) sensor functions in the same way as an outdoor light with a motion detector and reacts to movements made by objects that radiate heat (people and animals). The switching threshold can be set from between 0% and 100%.

The computer compensates for any temperature-related dependencies and other product-life-related drifts. To do so, the computer sends an inquiry to the sensor approx. 15 times a second and compares this information to its resting signal.

The PIR sensor requires neither visible nor infrared light to operate properly.
