Panasonic Industry PaPIRs+
Panasonic Industry announces passive infrared motion sensors
PaPIRs+ is the latest evolution of Panasonic’s ultra-compact PaPIRs PIR motion sensor technology and remains fully drop-in compatible. With up to 2x higher sensitivity, it delivers significantly enhanced detection performance for a wide range of applications - even in demanding installations.
Designed for modern building automation, lighting control, HVAC systems, workspace management and security applications, PaPIRs+ improves reliable detection of small and slow human motion while reducing false “vacant” events.
With enhanced sensitivity and optimized detection performance, PaPIRs+ enables more accurate presence detection, longer detection distances and improved system reliability - supporting energy savings and compliance with modern building efficiency requirements.
Features
- Compact all‑in‑one PIR sensor: lens + ASIC with built‑in signal processing
- Up to 2x higher sensitivity compared to PaPIRs
- Typ. 5x higher sensitivity than conventional PIR sensors
- Improved detection of small and slow movements
- Longer detection distances (typically ×√2 vs. PaPIRs, lens‑dependent)
- Coverage options from low-bay and mid-bay to ultra-high-bay (20 m+) installations
- Broad lens portfolio, with PaPIRs lens types largely available as PaPIRs+
- LiTaO₃ pyroelectric elements - no RoHS exemption concerns (PZT-free design)
Applications
- Lighting control systems and smart luminaires
- HVAC and building automation
- Workspace and occupancy monitoring
- Safety and security systems
