Wide Field of View PIR Sensors

Panasonic's wide field of view motion sensors offer detection in a single axis up to 150 degrees

Image of Panasonic Wide Field of View PIR SensorsPanasonic introduces the “Wide Field of View” PIR motion sensor line extension to the existing EKMB and EKMC series lineups. Named for their unique capabilities, these PIR sensors have a flat and rectangular shape which improves detection in a single axis up to 150 degrees. Also, since the detection zones are overlapping, this sensor can now detect motion directly approaching the sensor. Available in white, black, and pearl white.

Features Applications
  • Wide field of view; can detect up to 150 degrees in one axis
  • Approach sensing detection; can detect movement directly towards the sensor
  • Available in 1 μA, 2 μA, and 6 μA to accommodate battery-powered applications
  • RoHS and REACH compliant
  • Lighting fixtures
  • Thermostats
  • Video intercoms/doorbells
  • Vending machines
  • Televisions and PC monitors
