The GRAPHITE passive infrared detector detects movement in
a protected area. The large coverage area (over 100 m2) has been achieved
owing to the patented geometry of Fresnel lenses. Hence, fewer detectors are
needed for effective protection, installation is simple, and investment costs
are low.
Operation of the device is based on a digital motion detection
algorithm. Digital temperature compensation ensures effectiveness of the
detection by adjusting sensitivity to the temperature in the room. The
sensitivity of detection is continuously adjustable, hence parameters of the
detector can be adjusted precisely to the size of the room and the conditions
prevailing in it.
The newest GRAPHITE detector models (manufactured since 09-2021) feature
an option to turn on the PET immunity mode. This makes the PIR detection zone
resistant to movement of small pets (max 15 kg). To enable the PET mode, fit
a jumper down onto the indicated pins on the electronics board.
A useful solution is switching remotely on/off the violation indicating
LED (without opening the detector enclosure). As a result, the LED can be
turned on e.g. when testing the alarm system, and turned off in the normal
operation mode to make the detector less conspicuous.
The alarm memory signalling function allows you to check which of the
detectors has initiated an alarm, without having to watch the state of the
control panel. Security of the detector operation is provided by monitoring the
signal path and power supply, as well as the tamper switch.
