DESCRIPTION

The C-200AP and C-200APC are dual-technology sensors intended for use
in residential or commercial applications where small animals may be present.
They feature conventional wide-angle coverage patterns that are insensitive
to dogs, cats, etc. weighing up to about 40 pounds. (For larger pets, a
conventional Pet-Alley Lens is provided.) The C-200AP uses a Form-A alarm
relay; the C-200APC uses a Form-C relay.

BASIC OPERATION

These units comprise a passive-infrared sensor and microwave sensor
housed in a single package. The unit will go into alarm when both PIR and
microwave sensors detect intrusion at the same time. The design is such that
small animals within the coverage area will not be detected.

The PIR section operates by detecting a rapid change in temperature when
an intruder crosses a protected area. When a beam experiences a change
in heat (projected back through the lens), a pulse is generated by the sensor
element. The microwave transmitter sends out short bursts of rf energy, and
the receiver detects changes in the returned signal caused by motion within
its coverage area.

The microwave section is unaffected by visible light, air drafts, or tempera­ture changes (as from space heaters or air conditioners, for example), but is
sensitive to motion. Strong vibrations can be troublesome. Microwave signals
may pass through non-metallic walls and windows. Infrared is virtually unaf­fected by vibration, and will not penetrate walls or windows.

Thus the two complementary technologies provide an inherent immunity to
false alarms. Dual technology is ideal for use in hostile environments. Since
both must trip simultaneously to cause an alarm, installation is easier and
requires less discipline.

PIR ZONE DIMENSIONS

Regardless of the lens pattern selected, or the number of PIR beams
produced by the lens, the relative proportions of beam width, beam height,
beam separation, and zone width always remain the same and are illustrated
in Fig. 1. Note that beam and zone dimensions at any distance may be
calculated by the following formulas.

Beam Width “w”
Beam Separation “s”
Beam Height “h”
Zone Width “z”
Examples:

(in.) = Distance “d” (ft.) x 0.4

(in.) = Distance “d” (ft.) x 0.4

= 2 x Beam Width “w”

= 3 x Beam Width “w”

At 10’, a zone is 8” high x 12” wide.; at 30’, it is 2’ high x 3’ wide.

Proportions.

DETECTION PATTERNS

Figure 2 illustrates maximum PIR and microwave detection patterns super­imposed on each other. PIR detection patterns are adjustable, within limits,
both vertically and horizontally (see
for detailed adjustment procedures).

The microwave detection patterns shown are for free space. In practice,
when confined by walls and ceilings, reflected waves tend to flood the area,
providing volumetric coverage. Furthermore, when used in long, narrow
corridors, the effective range may be extended by as much as a factor of 2
due to the guiding effect that the corridor has on microwave energy. Micro­wave detection range is adjustable. Reducing range, however, will reduce all
other dimensions proportionately.

Insensitive Areas

The insensitive area is that area directly beneath the unit wi thin which an
intruder is undetectable. It is shown as a shaded area in the side-view
detection pattern that follows, and assumes that an intruder will be at least 5’
tall and that the protected area is not accessible by crawling or crouching.
The size of the insensitive area will increase as the mounting height increases
(see Fig. 2b). Nevertheless, it may be necessary to increase the mounting
height in order to avoid an object that could obstruct the coverage pattern.

STANDARD LENS

This model uses a standard lens that yields the 18-zone, 40-beam pattern
illustrated in Fig. 2. The coverage pattern is adjustable, within limits, both
vertically and horizontally (see
detailed adjustment procedures). Stacked optical centers provide tall, dense
beam pairs, making beam aiming easier and less critical. Examples shown
herein are typical and will not apply to all cases. Always test the coverage
pattern after the unit is installed (see

The supplied lens will perform best in typical applications, thus it is factory
installed. Following are its specifications.
