EMX OWL Microwave Motion & Infrared Presence Sensor

The OWL is a motion and presence sensor that utilizes both a microwave sensor to detect moving vehicles, and an infrared presence sensor to detect vehicles and pedestrians. The sensor has two relay outputs, one for vehicle motion detection and one for presence detection.

• Distinguish between vehicles and pedestrians
• Distinguish between the direction of traffic
• Motion and presence relay outputs
• Adjustable sensitivity, detection area and hold time
• 11.5-21.3 ft (3.5-6.5 m) mounting height
• Optional remote control for easy programming

Featuring multiple detection modes, the sensor can be programmed to sense movement. The OWL can eliminate unnecessary door openings by utilizing cross traffic, weather and insect filtering settings. Other parameters can be configured to adjust the sensitivity, detection area and relay hold time.

Advantages:

• Disregard pedestrians, parallel traffic, insects and snow.
• Flexible adjustment of the detection field
• Reduce door openings to save energy
• Indoor and outdoor use

Applications:

• Activation of our Virtual Sign Projectors
• Activation of automatic industrial doors
• Truck and tow-motor detection
• Cold storage facilities
• Barrier arm activation
• Parking garage and car wash entrances

• Advanced K-band microwave technology with adjustable detection field
• Differentiate between pedestrian and vehicle traffic for energy efficient door openings
• Uni-directional and cross-traffic filtering technology
• Durable, waterproof IP65 housing for harsh environments
