The COBALT Plus digital motion detector has a dual mechanism of
detection: dual element PIR sensor and microwave sensor. The dual technology
design, digital motion detection algorithm and temperature compensation
function provide high immunity to false alarms and interference, even in areas
where adverse or rapidly changing conditions prevail, e.g. at fireplaces, in
boiler rooms, garages, or in places where drafts frequently occur. Independent
control of both detection channels enables the device performance curve to be
perfectly adjusted to requirements of the user and the protected premises. In
addition, the detector can operate in two modes of detection: basic, in which
an alarm will occur after motion has been simultaneously detected by both
sensors, or advanced, in which an alarm will also be triggered after
a certain number of violations of the microwave path, making it possible
to detect e.g. an attempt to enter the protected zone by an intruder covered
with body heat absorbing material. An important feature of the device is
so-called anti-masking: the microwave sensor detects any attempt to mask or
cover the detector, which would interfere with its proper functioning. The
detector has a function of supply voltage level control, tamper protection
against opening the enclosure, two-color LED indicating motion detection/alarm,
and is provided with EOL resistors for easy installation and connection to the
alarm system.
The COBALT Plus detector can be used to implement the building
automation functions. When the alarm system is not armed, the device can be
used for switching on the lights, opening doors, etc.
