6.2 Stand-Alone Usage
The MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger is capable of
monitoring all kinds of motion occurances that can be detected
by a passive infrared sensor. In general, all warmblooded orga-
nisms (mammals and human beings, birds) and nearly all mate-
rial objects having a temperature significantly higher than the
surrounding will trigger a detection signal.
The maximum detection distance of the motion (infrared) sensor
is about 5m. The detection range has an angle of at least 19
degrees in the longitudinal direction and 11 degrees in the cross
direction (also see 8.0). Thus, the area covered has a rectangular
shape.
Organisms or objects whose temperature is usually not signi-
ficantly different from the surrounding (cold-blooded animals like
fish, amphibia and reptiles, or insects, spiders, crustaceans,
snails, etc., that is, organisms that do not produce body heat), or
objects moving very slowly, are not suited to be monitored with
the MOUSE-E-MOTION Universal Data Logger.
