PBQ Series
Photoelectric Beam Motion Detectors
Quad Photoelectric Beam Motion Detectors
Indoor/outdoor use for commercial
installations requiring perimeter or barrier protection
Built-in viewfinder for electro-optical beam
alignment
Quad beam simultaneous interruption required
for alarm verification
Adjustable beam interruption period for varying
installation conditions
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) assures reliable
operation in variable environmental conditions
(snow, frost, fog and rain)
Continued operation with 99.75% signal loss
Digital delay filtering separate legitimate
signals from background noise
Three optional beam frequencies to resolve
potential problems with crosstalk
The ASC Edge:
Alternative Beam Frequencies
The PBQ Series offers 3 alternative choices of frequency to prevent crosstalk between
beams in long range and stacked beam usage. Long Range Usage
When several sets of detectors are linked to create a long length fence of protection,
alternative frequency selection can prevent processing of a beam from a transmitter that
reaches beyond its intended receiver to a further receiver, preventing a failure to detect
an alarm. |
Long Range Usage |
| Stacked Beam Usage When beams are stacked vertically to create an
impenetrable fence of protection, alternative frequency selection can prevent processing
of a beam from a close proximity transmitter because of optical beam spread, preventing a
failure to detect an alarm.
For more advantages of the PBQ Series, see the ASC Edge accompanying the PBD Series. |
