Dual Motion Detector VIDICON IX-AM-PLUS — Microwave + PIR Dual Sensor, Model IX-AM-PLUS

The VIDICON IX-AM-PLUS dual motion detector combines microwave and passive infrared (PIR) sensing to provide reliable presence detection for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The device integrates both sensor types to detect motion and heat signatures, reducing false alarms from environmental noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine human activity. Designed for use in security systems, access control, and lighting automation, the IX-AM-PLUS supports applications where mixed-sensor detection improves overall system performance.

Advantages

Combining microwave and PIR technologies allows the detector to cross-verify signals and filter out common causes of false triggers, such as small pets, drafts, or moving objects that do not produce a heat signature. The dual-sensor design offers adjustable sensitivity and stable detection across varying environmental conditions. Compact and engineered for easy integration, the detector supports dependable operation in corridors, rooms, sheltered entrances, and covered outdoor areas.

Suitable for

• Intrusion detection in residential and commercial security systems
• Access control monitoring at doors and entry points
• Automatic lighting control in corridors, stairwells, and covered outdoor spaces
• Energy-saving presence sensing for office and common areas

Key specifications

• Detection principle: dual sensor combining microwave and passive infrared (PIR)
• Mounting: wall or ceiling mounting compatible with standard electrical boxes and mounts
• Detection coverage: designed for typical room and entrance coverage (coverage pattern depends on installation height and angle)
• Adjustable sensitivity settings to balance detection range and false alarm suppression
• Environmental suitability: for indoor and sheltered outdoor use; not intended for fully exposed outdoor conditions
• Output interfaces: compatible with standard alarm and lighting control inputs (wiring dependent on system requirements)

How to use

Install the VIDICON IX-AM-PLUS according to the mounting instructions and wiring diagrams provided by the system integrator or installer. Position the detector to provide unobstructed view of the monitored area and avoid pointing toward heat sources or large glass surfaces that can affect PIR performance. Adjust sensitivity and coverage settings during commissioning to achieve the required balance between detection range and false alarm reduction. After installation, test the detector by walking through the protected area at representative speeds and approach angles to confirm reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the dual motion detector in locations protected from direct weather exposure and avoid mounting near HVAC vents, unshielded lamps, or reflective surfaces. Calibrate sensitivity according to the monitored area's traffic and environmental conditions and perform periodic testing as part of routine system maintenance.
