Sony TS-DSC-P41-01 manual Mounting the PIR Lens, Fast Re-Trigger PIR detection electronics

TrackSnap Manual Model TS-DSC-P41-01

Mounting the PIR Lens

The PIR lens is mounted in the Pelican 1060 case with your board. The lens is centred over the PIR Sensor and is 16.5 mm from the top. We mount the lens with the “ridges” facing towards the PIR sensor. Do not scratch the lens on either side. Also, do not mount any glass, tape of plastic film over top of the PIR lens. These will not let infrared heat to pass through to trigger your PIR sensor. The PIR lens is glued to the inside of the case (lens ridges pointed in, smooth side out), with a waterproof adhesive.

Fast Re-Trigger PIR detection electronics

The PixController PIR detection electronics is unique in that is recovers very fast after each PIR detection trigger and will be able to detect the next detection trigger almost immediately. This makes Walk-Test mode on this system a very usable feature. The key is that the PixController PIR circuit used advanced digital detection electronics. The PIR detection electronics recovery time is only ½ second!

LE Board Mounting - PIR Sensor Considerations

The PIR sensor will allow the TrackSnap Camera to be used horizontally or vertically without needing the PIR sensor to be rotated. The PIR sensor circuit is the most rugged and reliable on the market today. Triggering occurs when a change in infrared levels is detected, as when a warm object moves in or out of view of one of the sensor’s “eyes.” The PIR sensor design is quite resistant to false triggering. Also, the camera can be mounted in elevated positions such as from high in a tree.

Pelican 1060 Micro Case

The Black case used in the TrackSnap Camera is a standard Pelican 1060 Micro Case modified for remote camera applications. It is part of the Pelican Micro Case Series. Whilst the Micro Case will protect your camera and electronics, as they are water-resistant, crushproof and have an automatic pressure purge valve, THE CASE WILL NOT PROTECT THE CAMERA FROM SEVERE IMPACT. The camera itself is not shockproof and the referred impact will be likely to damage the camera. Caution should be taken to avoid impacts such as this.

They case includes a lanyard for easy attachment and has two external U bolts for mounting onto trees and posts.
