You can’t be at your business 24/7, but we can.  Installing Honeywell motion sensors in your business enables you to harness the power of Honeywell’s technology for your protection.

In an intrusion detection system, the motion detector is a wall-mounted sensor that detects motion within the protected area, and then analyzes the motion to determine if an actual intruder causes it.

When the motion detector determines that an intruder causes the motion, it sends a data message to the system control panel for processing.

When there is no motion in the protected area, the motion detector sends a data message to the control panel, indicating that the area is in a normal, idle condition.

Users see status and alarms from the sensor at the local keypad. The control panel can also send a message to the monitoring station.

Reasons to Choose this Sensor

The motion detector provides some important advantages. To provide better analysis of motion within an area, we included Dual-Tec™ technology: Passive Infrared (PIR) and Microwave detection. The detector continuously supervises both PIR and Microwave channels to ensure maximum performance. Advanced dual-slope temperature compensation allows the detector to automatically compensate for background temperature variants by dynamically setting the sensor’s gain to the most effective level.

To minimize false alarms caused by air conditioners and heaters, we included the capability for automatic adaptation to environmental disturbances. An infinite rejection of disturbances caused by fluorescent lights, with a patented digital filter, further reduces the likelihood of false activations.

For more accurate calibration of the sensing regions, we included a special environmental test feature, which allows installers to check for environmental disturbances on both the PIR and microwave at the same time. For the best security against tampering, we provided tamper switches on the front cover and the back of case.

Design Considerations

Locate the motion detector on a wall inside of the protected area. For best results, locate the motion detector in a corner, or on a wall that is perpendicular to the door and windows. Avoid aiming motion detectors at moving displays, vents, or directly at windows.

The National Fire Protection Association has released a demonstration of what happens during a home fire and how smoke detectors and fire sprinklers save lives. Watch the full video here.

Here are some highlights from the video and accompanying narration.  The home does have a smoke detector, but since there are no sprinklers installed, much of the home will be destroyed before firefighters are able to get to the home and extinguish it.

You are about to witness the awesome, deadly power of a fire and the incredible speed with which a home fire can spread. This fire has been planned:  a demonstration to show you how quickly a home fire can reach the point when everything in a room combusts and no one can survive:  Flashover.

This fire begins in the living room, where many fatal house fires start:

30 seconds after the first flame, the sofa ignites.

From this point, the fire grows rapidly.  1 minute 4 seconds from the first flame, smoke begins to fill the room and then descends rapidly.  At 1 minute 35 seconds, gases flowing out of this room exceed 190 degrees Fahrenheit.

1 minute 50 seconds the smoke alarm at the foot of the stairs sounds an alarm providing a warning before exits are blocked:

2 minutes 48 seconds, smoke pours into the dining room.  Thick black smoke moves rapidly upstairs.

Before 4 minutes have passed, the temperature 3 feet above the floor in the living room is over 500 degrees Fahrenheit.  No one could survive.

Home fires are typically reported several minutes after the flames start.  Once a fire is reported, it takes time for the fire department to be notified and dispatched.

3 minutes 41 seconds, the energy in the room suddenly ignites everything.  Within 1 minute, the temperature has risen to over 1400 degrees:  Flashover!!

At this point, the firefighters are en route to the blaze.  Only 2 minutes after the smoke alarm sounded, the downstairs and upstairs hallways have become impassable.

The firefighters typically arrive about 7 minutes after a fire has been reported.

The fire grows so fast, the firefighters may not be able to rescue anyone inside:

The message is simple:  you cannot survive flashover. If a fire starts in your home, get out immediately and stay out.

Whether you are at the office or at home, fire sprinklers offer trusted protection.

California State Fire Marshal Tonya Hoover explains how sprinklers work and how easy they are to maintain. Here are some highlights:

The biggest myth, thanks to movies and TV, is that when there is a fire, the entire system goes off at once.  The fact is, each sprinkler works independently and only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate.  And if the fire is large, a second sprinkler nearby may also activate.

But most of the time, only one sprinkler is needed to control a home fire.

Fire sprinklers work fast.  In fact, fire sprinklers work so quickly, they often put the fire out before the fire department arrives.  That gives you time to get you and your family safely out of the house.

And burnt toast, cigars or other smoke can’t set off a sprinkler.  Only extreme heat from the fire will cause the sprinkler to operate.

The fire sprinkler system is designed essentially to be maintenance free.  However, you may want to occasionally do some simple safe-guarding to make sure your system is ready to work when it is called upon.

It is a good idea to do a water flow test on a regular basis.  It’s really simple – just open the valve.  If you have an alarm on your sprinkler system, it may take up to 60 seconds for the alarm to go off.  It’s also important to close the valve slowly.  Make sure you know where the water will flow out when you do the test.  Typically it’s right outside your home so the water can run into the yard.

If your sprinkler is connected to a central alarm monitoring system, it’s important that you notify them that you’re doing a test, so they know it’s not a real fire.

Your sprinkler system piping is installed behind the walls and ceilings of your home, just like your household plumbing pipes.  In most cases, the pipes are hidden from view.

When the heat from a fire reaches 150-175 degrees, the ball inside the sprinkler will burst, causing the water to flow out.
