3.8.4. Dual Edge Sensing (DES) technology ‘explained’
Figure 9 – side view, detection pattern in optimal temperature environment
This detector has Dual
Edge Sensing (DES)
Technology, developed
to eliminate false alarms
yet still provide
maximum security.
The detector uses a
pattern of infrared beam
zones to sense body
movement. The detection
pattern in an optimal
temperature environment
is shown in figure 9 and
figure 10.
Each time you walk into
or out of an infrared
beam zone this will be
sensed and processed by
the DES technology built
into the detector. The red
trigger light will not turn
on until the detector has
made a valid movement
detection in normal
mode. This will only
happen if the detector is
not in Intelligent Power
Saving (IPS) mode.
Remember that the green
light does not operate in
normal mode.
