Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Motion Sensor

Definition
A component integrated into Outdoor Solar Bollards that detects motion in the surrounding area, triggering the LED lights to illuminate when movement is sensed, thereby providing security lighting and energy efficiency by only activating when needed.
Working Principle
Utilizes passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect changes in infrared radiation caused by moving objects within its field of view. When motion is detected, the sensor sends an electrical signal to activate the bollard's lighting system.
Common Materials
PIR sensor element, Plastic housing, Electronic circuit board
Technical Parameters
  • Detection angle range (degrees) Customizable
Components / BOM
  • PIR Sensor Element
    Detects infrared radiation changes from moving objects
    Material: Pyroelectric material
  • Fresnel Lens
    Focuses infrared radiation onto the sensor element and defines detection pattern
    Material: Polyethylene or acrylic
  • Signal Processing Circuit
    Amplifies and processes sensor signals to trigger lighting
    Material: Electronic components on PCB
Engineering Reasoning
0.1-15 m
Signal-to-noise ratio < 3 dB at 1 m distance
Design Rationale: Doppler shift detection threshold violation due to thermal noise floor exceeding -110 dBm at 10.525 GHz operating frequency
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Electrostatic discharge exceeding 8 kV HBM
Mode: CMOS sensor array latch-up causing permanent 5 V rail short circuit
Strategy: Integrated TVS diode clamping at 6.5 V with 1.5 pF parasitic capacitance
Trigger Ambient temperature exceeding 85°C junction temperature
Mode: PLL frequency drift beyond ±75 ppm causing false motion detection
Strategy: Thermal shutdown circuit activating at 80°C with 5°C hysteresis

Maintenance Indicators
  • Inconsistent or erratic motion detection (e.g., false alarms, missed triggers) indicating sensor degradation.
  • Visible damage or corrosion on the sensor housing, wiring, or connectors, or audible crackling from electrical connections.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular calibration checks and environmental shielding (e.g., enclosures for temperature/humidity control) to maintain sensor accuracy and protect from harsh conditions.
  • Use sealed connectors and corrosion-resistant materials, and perform periodic inspections of wiring integrity to prevent electrical failures.
