ASCTB241E 201412-T1
ORDERING INFORMATION
Active infrared
(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.

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, implement a
countermeasure such as connecting a
capacitor (Min. 33 μF) across the power
input terminals. Only use the sensor after
verifying actual operation.
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 bodies. The sensor
may not detect properly or the detection
distance may become unstable if the
objects consist 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) If this sensor is used in a position
where it will be facing another sensor,
light will be received from the other
sensor which can cause mutual
interference and malfunction. Therefore,
please verify the installation conditions
before use.
7) 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.
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.
