The DSC (AMB-500) Ceiling Mounted 360 PIR Detector represents a sophisticated motion detection solution engineered for comprehensive commercial and institutional fire alarm systems. Designed to provide full-coverage volumetric monitoring, this ceiling-mounted passive infrared (PIR) sensor delivers precision motion detection across an entire room or open floor plan, making it ideal for large commercial spaces such as office complexes, educational facilities, healthcare environments, and industrial control rooms.
Engineered with advanced sensing technology, the AMB-500 utilizes a wide-angle 360-degree detection pattern that eliminates traditional blind spots associated with traditional directional motion detectors. Its advanced optics and sensitive infrared sensor can detect human movement within a circular coverage area up to 40 feet in diameter, ensuring comprehensive surveillance without multiple sensor installations. The unit integrates seamlessly with addressable fire alarm control panels and supports advanced programming parameters for customized detection sensitivity.
