Light sensor and motion detector
In all 
KINASGARD
®
 motion sensors and presence detectors, a high-end variant infrared sensor with enlarged angle of aperture is exclusively 
used. Because of the patented lens system with 20 individual lenses, only very small dark areas are resulting, which even at a distance  of 10 m 
are only a few centimeters wide, safely detecting also small motions. The sensor recognizes changes in the infrared radiation spectrum, so in 
heat radiation, resulting form the movement of persons or objects. Such movements generate a temporary change of the temperature gradient 
in the field. Because of the always present body (heat) radiation, this sensor is excellently suitable for the detection of persons. The temperature 
difference between sensor and object must be > 5 K.
Aperture angle

The  sensor used in PHOTASGARD
®
 light intensity sensors 
was specifically adapted to the sensitivity of the human eye. 
Its greatest sensitivity is in the range of 350 nm to 820 nm. 
Therefore with its special filter the sensor is predestined for 
 exposure measure ment of daylight and ⁄  or for measuring 
 artificial light of high colour temperature (similar to sunlight).
