5.4 Installation and Detection Range

The sensor supports both top-mounted and wall-mounted installations, each with specific detection characteristics. Understanding these is crucial for optimal performance.

Instalación montada en la parte superior:

When mounted on the ceiling, the sensor provides a conical detection area. The typical height for top-mounting is 2.7-3 meters, covering a floor area with a radius of approximately 5 meters for moving targets and 4 meters for micro-motion targets.

Instalación montada en la pared:

For wall-mounted setups, the sensor should ideally be placed at a height of 1.5-2 meters. This configuration provides a wider, fan-shaped detection area, capable of detecting moving human targets up to 10 meters and micro-motion targets up to 6 meters.
