A PIR can be used to sound a local alarm when animals enter a vegetable garden.<br />
The 6187CTX Outdoor PIR is excellent for this application. It can be equipped<br />
with a curtain lens and mounted on all four sides of a garden to provide complete<br />
perimeter detection. The PIRs are NOT, however, substitutes for a good fence.<br />
Mount one PIR at each corner of the garden area approximately 7 ft. (2.13m) high.<br />
Avoid direct sunlight on the plastic lens.<br />
Keep away from branches that may impede PIR’s coverage pattern.<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 can be used to<br />
protect outdoor commercial areas.<br />
