Overview

The EKMC1601111 is a Panasonic PaPIRs motion sensor featuring a standard white lens designed for digital human detection. This PaPIRs series sensor integrates a sensing element and an internal amplifier within a compact TO-5 package, providing a simplified digital output for motion-based automation.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor features a low average current consumption of 0.17mA, making it suitable for energy-efficient battery-powered designs. The digital output and integrated internal trigger eliminate the need for complex external analog signal conditioning, while the 3V to 6V supply range ensures compatibility with standard logic levels.

Applications

Smart Lighting Control
Automating indoor street lighting, office lamps, and corridor switches for energy savings based on occupancy.
Security Systems
Triggering security cameras and crime-prevention alarms when motion is detected within a 5-meter range.
HVAC Management
Controlling air conditioners and fan heaters by detecting presence to optimize climate control.
Office Automation
Implementing power-saving wake-up features for printers, copy machines, and commercial displays.
