Improved performance and extended service life for remote motion detection

Excelitas Technologies’ low-power DigiPyro PYD 1688, now available from Digi-Key, is the latest addition to their industry-leading family of digital pyrodetectors. This digital pyrodetector operates on reduced power consumption and features sleep mode operation, making it ideal for a variety of wireless and battery-operated motion detection applications. With robust engineering and compact design, the device effectively fulfils both residential and commercial sensing applications. It runs on a mere 3V power supply and features a special sleep mode operation to maintain effective operation while extending battery life when a device is not actively sensing. This results in improved performance and extended service life for motion sensing, home automation, intrusion alarm, and wireless presence detection applications.
