MA Motion Sensor (AMA1, AMB1, 2, 3)

ORDERING INFORMATION

Active inﬂared

(area reﬂective)

human detection sensor

MA MOTION

SENSOR

FEATURES

1. Now even more miniature.

The new thin type cuts 35% from the

thickness of the previous short type.

Device installing is now easier than ever.

2. Certain detection unaffected by the

reﬂectance of the object

The sensor can provide stable

detection that is not affected by the

condition (color or material of the

clothing) or parts (skin, hair, etc.) of the

object being monitored. (Reﬂectance

18% to 90%). Excellent performance

even when the detection surface is dirty.

3. Only connecting DC power supply

for operating

Built-in oscillation circuit type obviates

the hitherto existing need for start signal

input.

4. Use in adjacent positions is

possible

These sensors can be located in

adjacent positions, because the timing of

the external trigger signals can be

adjusted so that the beam frequency of

each adjacent sensor will not interfere

with the other.

Notes: 1. The thin short type is only available for 5V DC.

2. The ratio between the 4 operating modes (*a to *d) depends on the

external trigger period and detector time, and the current consumption

corresponds with this varying ratio.

3. A high level is established in the open state due to pull-up by the internal

circuit. (Refer to the connector wiring diagram.)

4. The output transistor is open collector.

The output transistor is turned ON by the sensor detection status and

turned OFF by its non-detection status.

HOW TO USE

1. Wiring diagram of connector

Notes: 1. The output transistor has an open collector structure.

• Detection status: Output transistor ON (connected to GND)

• Non-detection status: Output transistor OFF (open state)

2. The status of the external trigger input is as follows:

• Open at the high level

• GND (less than 0.8V) at the low level

Under no circumstances must a high-level voltage be applied.

3. To maintain the power supply superimposed noise performance, be certain to connect a capacitor (33µF or more) to the sensor power supply input terminal in order

to stabilize the power supply voltage.

Motion sensors

MA Motion Sensor (AMA1, AMB1, 2, 3)

NOTES

1. Environment

1) Avoid using the sensor in

environments containing excessive

amounts of steam, dust, corrosive gas, or

where organic solvents are present.

2) When the sensor is used in noisy

environments, connect a capacitor

(minimum 33 µF) across its power input

terminals.

2. Wiring

1) Check all wiring before applying

power. Incorrect wiring may damage the

internal circuit (in particular, check that

the connection to the power supply is not

reversed.)

2) Avoid excessive removing and

replacing of the connector.

3. Detector surface (Optical surface)

1) Keep the detector surface clean.

Excessive dust or dirt on the detector

surface will deteriorate the sensing

performance.

2) Do not allow condensation or freezing

to occur on the surface of the sensor. If

condensation or freezing does occur at

low temperatures, the sensor may not

detect objects correctly.

3) This product is designed to detect the

existence of human body. The sensor will

not detect objects consisting of a low

reﬂective material (e.g., an object coated

with black rubber, etc.) or of a highly

reﬂective material (e.g., mirror, glass,

coated paper, etc.)

4) The front surface of the lens and case

are made of polycarbonate resin and can

withstand water, alcohol, oils, salts and

weak acids. Other ﬂuids such as

alkalines, aromatic hydrocarbons and

halogenated hydrocarbons may melt or

swell the lens and case, please do not

have such ﬂuids touch the lens and case.

5) If you use the sensor with a cover or

ﬁlter connected to the front of the sensor,

the sensor may detect the cover itself, the

detection distance can change, and

unstable operation can result.

6) When multiple sensors are to be used

side by side, please verify that there will

be no mutual interference by installing

them with the proper spacing, depending

on the type as shown below.

7) To protect the inner circuit, wiring

should be max. 3 m 9.843 ft..

4. Recommended installation

procedure

Install the sensor so that it is orientated

correctly in relation to the pass directions

of the target objects as shown in the

ﬁgure below.

For the general precautions, refer to

“NOTES FOR USING MOTION SENSOR

(Common)” on next page.
