ADPRO PRO
Passive Infrared Detector
Training

•Every surface above 0 Kelvin (absolute zero) emits infra-red energy
•Invisible to the naked eye, the wavelengths fall within the electromagnetic
wavelength range of 0.7 to 1000 microns.
•Because infrared rays have such wide wavelength spectral bands, they are
classified into near, medium and far infrared. All types are used in a variety of
applications.
•Far infrared is used by passive infrared (PIR) detectors.
What is Infra-Red?

•Humans and other mammals radiate
infra-red waves in band lengths from 7 to
14 microns so pyro-elements in PIR
detectors are set to detect these bands.
•PIRs detect sudden changes in Far Infra-
red radiation levels and produce
corresponding electrical signal.
•In principle, PIR detectors sense the
temperature differences between the
background and moving object in a
predetermined detection areas
What is the principle of Infra-Red detection?

•REFLECT –ABSORB –PENETRATE
•Far infrared energy is reflected by glass, mirrors and other reflective surfaces
•Because of this it cannot penetrate glass, nor can it penetrate most plastics
(polyethylene is a notable exception, which we use as front filters for the standard
detectors)
•Semiconductors Silicon and Germanium are transparent too, we use Silicon for
the front filters for the H-detectors, Germanium is used for thermal camera lenses

Field test by perimeter security experts Freihoff and Piendl
•PRO E-45H put to the test!
•Tested to ensure the detector will operate properly under all alarm conditions
•Walking
•Running
•Crawling
•Bicycling
•Hazmat Suit to shield Body Heat Radiation
>>RESULT: We see the alarms, not the false alarms!
Testimonial from Till Freihoff, Founder and CEO of the Freihoff Group:
•I was very impressed by the new PIR PRO E-Generation of Xtralis.
•Perimeter protection is a key topic for all our customers nowadays.
•It's essential that the sensor has a high probability of detection but also I expect a low NAR / FAR because
otherwise my end-user and my operators in the ARC will lose confidence.
•All our tests of the PIR E-Generation were very successful: the new housing, the zero creep zone / rearward
detection and the easy way to install with the iCommission tool make the E-Series ideal and for tough jobs in
the perimeter
Testimonial from Markus Piendl, perimeter security expert:
•Mr. Freihoff and myself performed a lot of test like walking, running, crawling and rolling at day and night at
different distances. We were working with a lot different cloths + tools and even put on a fireproof suit to reduce
body temperature. All test went positive without limitations or failures.
•The E-PIR generation can work as a stand-alone application and are easy to use.
•The field commissioning can be done with a smart-phone or a tablet - this will save time and money.
•In terms of vandalism the new E-Series offers an advanced 3D Tamper incl. a digital compass.
•An open software-based protocol for interfaces with 3rd party applications like video give customers and security
installers excellent arguments for a reliable and trusted perimeter security solution.

Field test by perimeter security experts Freihoff and Piendl

•Active IR proximity sensor protects ca. 50cm in front
and below detector
•Any obstruction in that area will be detected
•If completely covered, immediate (!) specific alarm
(competition takes around 2 minutes)
Vandal and Manipulation Detection
New Feature: Anti Masking

Vandal and Manipulation Detection
New Feature: Advanced 3D Tamper
•Altering the alignment which is stored during setup,
horizontal, vertical or pitch, triggers a tamper alarm.
•Digital compass detects even very slow (!) horizontal
alignment changes

Vandal and Manipulation Detection
New Feature: Proximity sensor in main housing
•Active IR proximity sensor in main housing
•Will even trigger when parts of lid are removed (e.g. by
sawing), which would not affect a standard cover switch
• Will trigger when detector is “foamed up”

Creepzone coverage and beyond
New Feature: 360PROtect™
•An additional dual PIR sensor in the top-front
covers the area between up to 1m behind the
detector and 8m in front of it, eliminating all
creep zones.
•Covers all the way up to any wall and even *behind* the pole the
detector is mounted to
•An additional 360PROtect™ output signal allows localization
• Concept allows “stand-alone” application of curtain detector

Tackling Nuisance Alarms
Techniques that minimize nuisance alarms
•Differential Sensors
–Signals received within the same time period in both sensor elements will
be compensated, no alarm is generated
•Temperature compensation
–For dynamic compensation of contrast variation
•Adaptive Threshold Discrimination (ATD)
–Adjusts the alarm threshold level to the background noise
•Signal shape analysis
–Rising and falling edges of temperature contrast signal must meet certain
shape criteria, otherwise no alarm is generated
•Pulse count (only available with volumetric models)
–Signal needs to exceed alarm threshold a defined number of times in
order to trigger full alarm

–The pyro sensor element is separated into two ‘flakes’, covering laterally
neighbouring areas of the detection zone
–output of the 2 flakes is subtracted from
one another
–Identical signals received within the same
time period in both sensor elements
will be compensated, no alarm is generated 21

Differential Sensors
No alarm can trigger an alarm

1. continuous noise raises the threshold
2. peak triggers alarm
3. noise dying off lowers the threshold

Note: switch off ATD during walk tests,
otherwise the test will rise the threshold
temporally too high
