DigitalEye™ 7.2 Control Board
DigitalEye™ 7.2 Control Board Components
The DigitalEye™ 7.2
Control Board electronics are the heart of the system. The DigitalEye™
7.2 uses a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor to detect any warm-blooded animal to trigger the
camera. This sensor is triggered by body heat and motion.
The PIR sensor detects the difference between the air temperature and the animals’ body heat
temperature. In colder temperatures the detection distance is much greater. However, in air
temperatures above 85 deg. F the detection distance can be cut by more than 20 feet. Under air
temperatures around 65 deg. F your PIR detection range should be about 80 feet.
Setting the PIR sensitivity POT
The detecting distance adjustment
allows you to easily set the PIR
detecting distance (range).
Passive
infrared is more sensitive in winter then
in summer, be sure to reduce the
sensitivity in
summer by adjusting the
sensitivity knob away from the silver dot
to avoid false triggering. Reducing
the
range for night photography will help the
problems of your subject being out of the
flash
range.
