Description
The Eagle Series of PIR-018H, PIR-045H and PIR-
100H Outdoor Passive Infrared Detectors are
designed for detection of intruders at distances 27,
60 or 150 metres respectively. The Eagle PIR-018H
is a so-called volumetric detector, i.e. it covers a
large surface with a wide angle. It has a nominal
range of 27metres. The Eagle PIR-045H and PIR-
100H are long range curtain type detectors, i.e.
they cover a long narrow area with a nominal
range of up to 60 and 150 metres.

The detectors incorporate microprocessor con-
trolled signal processing including signal shape
analysis, adaptive threshold level by feedback of
environmental effects, temperature compensation
and rejection of disturbance signals.

The Eagle PIR detectors are designed to be used in
conjunction with a CCTV system where they can
alert the operator of any motion in the covered
area. They are also very useful in combination with
a Video Motion Detector (VMD) where the two
units provide mutual alarm verification, i.e. both
units must detect an intruder before an alarm is
raised.



The Eagle PIR-045H and PIR-100H are typically used
for perimeter protection and securing of long
buildings whereas the Eagle PIR-018H is used for
securing open spaces e.g. in front of a building.

Since the Eagle PIRs only react to infrared radia-
tion, they can be used during day and night as
well as under changing climatic conditions such as
fog, rain and snow.

The Ernitec Eagle PIRs are truly passive devices
which detect objects entering or crossing their
field of view. The detectors are designed to detect
any intruder by his movement and infrared con-
trast against the background. The detectors do not
emit any signal, nor do they require a transmitter
to be located nearby. This eliminates interference
between detectors and prevents potential intrud-
ers from detecting the coverage area. Multiple
detectors can be combined in order to increase the
coverage area.

Detection Algorithm
The background noise is sampled at a rate of
approx. 300 per second and averaged over a large
number of cycles giving a noise dependent value
for the alarm threshold and to start the signal
shape analysis whenever a certain amplitude value
is exceeded.

If the threshold has temporarily been increased by
high background noise or repeated movements in
the field of view, the exponential decay of the
threshold level to its original value will take
approx. 1-2 minutes from the end of the event.

Once the first threshold level value has been
exceeded, the microprocessor starts its signal
shape analysis routine where a number of interde-
pendent parameters including peak amplitude,
rate of rise, time windows and overall shape are
calculated and analysed.

If the rate of rise of the signal is too high, as may
happen as a result of RF interference, lightning,
shock waves or birds flying across the field of view
close to the unit, a possible alarm will be rejected.
This also means that a very fast movement directly
in front of the detector may not lead to an alarm
even though the amplitude would be large
enough.

Only if a signal meets all the predetermined crite-
ria an alarm will be generated.

The Eagle PIR detectors have differential sensors
which - in combination with the Adaptive Thresh-
old Decoding - minimize the probability of
nuisance alarms. Any change in the background
temperature will be detected by both parts of the
differential sensors and will not give an alarm,
whereas an intruder will provoke a sequential
change of infrared radiation in the two parts of

the differential sensors, hence generating an
alarm.

The Eagle PIR-100H has three Zones for long,
medium and short range detection with individual
signal processing of the three channels for excep-
tional detection to nuisance alarm ratio.

Furthermore, the three Eagle PIRs are equipped
with automatic temperature compensation cir-
cuits. The Eagle PIRs detect radiation differences of
a target against its background. In the course of
the day and year the contrast of a person will vary
considerably and affect the signal strength. To
compensate for this contrast variation, the Eagle
PIRs have internal temperature compensation with
maximum sensitivity at approx. 30C (where the
contrast of a human target is weakest) and grad-
ual reduction at higher and lower temperatures.

Finally, the Eagle PIRs are also equipped with
Adaptive Threshold Decoding (ATD). The back-
ground noise is constantly averaged and used to
adjust the threshold levels for the alarm. This
special feature is reducing the probability of
nuisance alarms caused by wind, moving vegeta-
tion or objects that have a thermal contrast al -
though usually weaker than a person.
Each signal exceeding a certain minimum value
will activate the ATD and increase
The threshold levels depending on its strength.
The time constants for increase and decrease are
chosen in a way to adapt to gradual changes.
Signals generated by a person moving within the
specified speed range, however, are fast enough
for detection.

Repeated movement of any kind within the field
of view is therefore activating the ATD, reducing
the overall sensitivity.

The Eagle PIR detectors feature a tamper switch
which is activated whenever the device is opened.
This allows the security guards to identify any
attempt to disable the Eagle PIR detector. More-
over, the guards will be alerted if the unit is out of
service due to maintenance work.

Installation
These Eagle PIRs feature an integrated bracket
suitable for either pole or wall mount installation.

Optional PC-based software is available for instal -
lation and servicing purposes. The software is
included with the PIR-IF485 Interface Module
which provides an interface between the PC and
up to 32 Eagle PIRs.

The installation software provides a possibility for
changing the settings of the Eagle PIRs without
having to open the device i tself. The software also
incorporates a scope function which shows the
amplitude of the measured infrared signal as well
as the thresholds. This makes the fine-tuning of
the detectors much easier and more accurate.

Applications
The Eagle PIR is set up along perimeters and long buildings. The alarm output can trigger a CCTV system so
that e.g. a PTZ camera automatically zooms in on the area covered by the Eagle PIR.
At the same time, the security staff is alerted and can follow the intruder on a monitor. The alarm output
can also be used to initiate a call sequence on a PSTN or ISDN based video transmission system.
