Motion sensors for detecting
the slightest movement

CST Electronics acquires
Bel Fuse as new agency

The world’s smallest with a built-in amplifier. Detects even slight motion of a person. Available in digital and analog outputs with adjustable sensitivity. Extremely compact. Ideal for use in miniaturized devices.

This sensor detects changes in infrared radiation which occur when there is movement by a person or object which is different in temperature from the surroundings. As this sensor detects temperature differences, it is well suited to detecting the motion of people by their body temperature. It has a wide sensing area.

Dual lens colors (white and black also available). Both digital output and analog output (with adjustable sensitivity) are available. Has a built-in amplifier, and can be connected directly to a microcomputer.

Fine motion detection capability within approximately 2 meters of sensor.
