USING A PIR FOR GROCERY STORE PICKUP<br />
APPLICATION<br />
INSTALLATION<br />
RECOMMENDED<br />
PRODUCTS<br />
Grocery stores are often designed with drive through grocery bag pickup lanes.<br />
A PIR with a long range lens mounted on the overhang above the drive-up can be<br />
used to signal the grocery bag attendant with a bell and/or a light when a car pulls<br />
up to the pickup door. The long range lens provides spot detection of automobiles<br />
and minimizes false alarms from people in the walkways next to the pickup lane.<br />
This configuration is designed for local annunciation — not alarm. Note: the PIR<br />
is responding to the heat of the car engine. Upon initial start-up, some car engines<br />
may not generate sufficient heat to trip the PIR. Be sure to localize the PIR by<br />
using a long range lens in this application.<br />
Mount the PIR in the ceiling, directly above the drive.<br />
Make sure conduit openings and mounting holes are well sealed. If conduit is<br />
used, run the conduit out the side or bottom of the unit to keep condensation from<br />
the conduit from draining into the PIR’s housing.<br />
The cast metal housing of the 6187CTX is specifically designed for outdoor<br />
applications. It provides water resistance and reliable detection in temperatures<br />
from -40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +120°F).<br />
SPACE DETECTION<br />
The 6187CTX detects warm car engines crossing a narrow<br />
field of view sending a local alarm to a waiting attendant.<br />
