Dual Technology Detector

The powerful synthesis of PIR and MW technologies
with integrated anti-masking detection

Visonic’s Duet AM detector with anti-masking combines digital PIR and microwave
technologies, to optimize intrusion detection for industrial environments.

Advanced infrared and microwave technologies with self test motion simulation

ensure total reliability

Enhanced anti-masking and tamper-proof mechanism assures immunity to

masking and tampering

New microstrip DRO stabilized microwave design with unique patented cylindrical

lens technology provides superior range, detection and coverage

Patented True Motion Recognition (TMR™) enhances detection processing and

dramatically reduces false alarms

Remote test input and two separate relays ensure easy installation and

compliance to latest European EN50131-2 rules

Duet AM

Advanced dual-technology detector with integrated

anti-masking for industrial environments

FEATURES

Superior coverage extended to 20 meters
Anti-masking for tamper-proof security
Remote test input for easy installation and testing
Separate solid state relays for ‘trouble/masking’ and ‘alarm’
Combined Fresnel and cylindrical optics (patented)
Look-down creep zone lens
Easy to use three-position vertical adjustment
Compliance with the latest European EN50131-2 security standards

Duet AM dual-technology detector incorporates
Visonic’s digital passive infrared and microwave
technologies, guaranteeing long-range
coverage, detection accuracy and superior
false alarm immunity.

The PIR sensor utilizes new advanced Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms, which
eliminate the many types of noise and
interference that affect the reliability of
traditional detectors. Advanced technology
embedded in the microwave sensing module
increases coverage flexibility and reliability.
Unique patented lens design combines Frensel
and cylindrical optics for superior detection
range. Solid state relays achieve immunity to
magnetic field, high reliability and silent
operation.

Visonic’s patented True Motion Recognition
(TMR™) algorithm and advanced circuitry
enhance detection of human motion,
dramatically reduce false alarms, and guarantee
long-term performance. Featuring Visonic’s
improved anti-masking technology, the Duet­AM detector utilizes the MW channel to detect
and alert upon masking and tampering
attempts.

To aid the installer, Visonic has added key
features for easy installation – separate trouble
and alarm dry contact relays, remote test
input, easy to use three-position vertical
adjustment, and EOL terminal. Software self­tests with true motion simulation of both MW
and PIR channels assure greater reliability.

Its accurate long-range detection, reliable
performance and easy installation make Duet
AM the ideal detector for industrial applications.
