EKMB/EKMC Series Ultra-Wide PIR Motion Sensors

Panasonic's ultra-wide and long-distance detection type PIR motion sensor offers detection for heights of up to 49 feet and a maximum field of view (FOV) of 91.6° X 45.4°. They also feature a long range, offer 188 detection zones, and enable exceptional detection of radial movement, minimizing blind spots and making them ideal for high-ceiling installations. These easy-to-install PIR sensors can be integrated into existing lighting systems and feature digital, open drain, and analog op-amp output.

Panasonic's ultra-wide and long-distance detection type PIR motion sensors consist of a lens to create various detection zones, an optical filter to block non-infrared light, pyroelectric sensing elements, and an impedance converter to get an electrical signal. In addition to this, Panasonic also integrates an amplifier and comparator circuit on the same chip, all densely packed inside the stem block.

Panasonic's one-chip ASIC design is superior to discrete solutions by saving space, adding electromagnetic shielding to all circuitry, and reducing the number of components required. These PIR sensors are available in white, black, and pearl white.
