Detection Area
The detection area is determined by the installation high and temperature difference of the target. A special
flat Fresnel lens and focus hole are used, creating 12 detection zones below the desk allowing the sensor to
detect leg and feet movement below the desk allowing the sensor to determine the desk occupancy state.
Note that the detection area changes depending on the installation high.
Detection area (standard desk)
Sitting and standing desks
The Desksense design is optimized for use with standard sitting desks ~70cm in height, mounted in the
middle approximately 30 cm from the edge of a desk. However, the Desksense can also be used in with
standing desks, this is due to the fact the detection area gets bigger when the installation height is
increased. Thereby extending the detection area in front of the desk allowing the feet of the standing user to
be detected. The figures below show theoretical detection areas at different installation heights. Please keep
in mind these are theoretical values.
