BS EN IEC 63180 discusses about the methods of measurement and declaration of the detection range to detectors which facilitates effective application for automated applications.
BS EN IEC 63180 provides a methodology and test procedures to be able to declare and verify the detection area for motion detectors using passive infrared technology in electronic control devices and appliance switches, whether stand-alone or as part of home and building electronic systems or building automation control systems (HBES/BACS) or similar.
BS EN IEC 63180 provides a uniform way to present the test results. The purpose of these detectors is to detect the major and minor movements of persons.
BS EN IEC 63180 on passive infrared detectors for motion detection in the range of detectors is useful for:
Passive infrared detectors are an important element in an energy efficient building. They allow for switching on and off and for controlling loads in order to achieve an optimum degree of comfort and energy efficiency.
BS EN IEC 63180 provides you guidance on test environment, test equipment, test procedure and test results for measuring the range in passive infrared detectors for motion detection that enhances the accuracy of detector systems for home, electronic and automation applications. BS EN IEC 63180 also provides you with the information of various types of detectors such as: motion detector in which a unit detecting that can be part of an electronic control device or an appliance switch, major motion with which it detects a movement of a person walking within an area, minor motion in which it detects the small movements of a person within an area.
BS EN IEC 63180 assists with methodology and test procedures to verify the detection performance in a detection area, which enhances the accuracy of the detection systems.
Guidance in BS EN IEC 63180 allows you to enhance the accuracy of range detection, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of detector systems.
