Motion sensing for street lighting and aisle applications made easy

11 August 2023

Claimed to be the world's most compact long-range passive infrared motion sensors, the PaPIRs have recently been introduced by Panasonic Industry.

The new Ultra Wide and Long Distance Detection Type for installation heights of up to 15m and a maximum field of view (FOV) of 91.6° x 45.4° sets new standards in terms of lens size, detection area and integration options.


For miniaturising motion detectors where PIR sensors with small but extremely sensitive pyroelectric sensor elements must be used, PaPIRs Motion Sensors set their own unparallelled standards.


With its small lens diameter of only 32.6mm and a detection area of 30.9m by 12.6m at an installation height of 15m, the new Ultra Wide and Long Distance Detection Type is claimed to be the most compact long-range sensor available on the market, making it suitable for high-ceiling installations. 


The configuration of the 188 detection zones enables exceptional detection of radial movement and minimises blind spots, ensuring that no motion goes unnoticed.


By precisely identifying human presence, the sensor provides accurate data for lighting control, resulting in optimal illumination and significant energy savings.


In addition to its performance, the Ultra-Wide and Long-Distance Detection type is easy to install and integrate into existing lighting systems. It features the following user-friendly interfaces:
• Digital (open-drain output)
• Analog (op-amp output)
and supports seamless integration with various lighting control protocols. The robust and UV-stabilised lens ensures durability, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.


"We are thrilled to introduce the new Ultra Wide and Long Distance Detection sensor to the market," says Robert Spiegler, Lead Product Manager, Solution Business at Panasonic Industry Europe. "This new PaPIRs sensor showcases our commitment to delivering innovative lighting control components that enhance efficiency, and sustainability. We are confident it will streamline sensor integration in aisle and street lighting applications, while providing our customers with unmatched levels of performance, reliability, and speed to market"
