Overview
What it is
PIR 30 is a PIR (passive infrared) motion detector in Bircher’s standard 30 series housing. It has 18 Fresnel lenses in the front cover and slide inserts behind them that mask individual field segments.
What it is used for
Bircher designs PIR 30 for detecting people approaching automatic doors, including revolving doors, from a stationary position on or in the transom. It is not suitable for mounting on moving door parts.
Key features
- Mounting height up to 5 m and frontal range up to 12 m
- Field set with two 3-part slide inserts in three masking stages
- Sensitivity potentiometer for the temperature threshold, with compensation for temperature fluctuations
- Floating changeover relay rated 48 V AC/DC, 0.5 A AC / 1 A DC
- Suitable for ceiling or wall mounting, concealed or surface mounted
Buying considerations
Article 212638 is PIR 30/31 with relay output in black. Detection depends on a temperature difference between the person and the background. Moving door leaves must stay outside the detection area.
Installation considerations
The detector itself is IP52. Bircher states IP65 when installed with the weather protective cover (212827) or recessed boxes. A 5 m connection cable is supplied, with two integration brackets and a swivel bracket.
Compatibility
Supply 12 to 24 V AC or 12 to 30 V DC, about 20 mA at 24 V DC. The relay output connects to the activation input of standard door controllers.
