Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0421119A1] It is proposed to arrange attenuation means (6) in the known passive infrared motion detector having an azimuthal detection angle of 180 DEG in order to increase the detection sensitivity for laterally incident infrared beams directed via deflection mirrors (8) onto the sensor surfaces (9) and to extend the detection region. As a result, the transmittance for an infrared beam (SI) incident from a frontal detection region (I) is smaller than the transmittance for an infrared beam (SII) incident from a lateral detection region (II). As a result, the detection region definable by means of r and phi (r = detection range, phi = azimuthal detection angle) can be extended. The azimuthal detection angle can be widened to 220 DEG in combination with non-central Fresnel lens segments (4). <IMAGE>
