ABSTRACT:
An Improved Intruder Detection Module is disclosed that incorporates a compact, unique optical system, a detector array, and an electronic system of a combined size and configuration that permits the Module to be shaped to approximate a normal household wall outlet box and its associated face panel. The optical system incorporates removable facet reflectors enabling the system to monitor any of a variety of different fields of view. The detector array includes pyroelectric elements mounted in an adjacent facing relationship to cause radiation passing through one element to immediately pass through the adjacent element, thereby causing intense white light to which the detector elements are not particularly responsive to generate substantially the same electrical signal in both elements. The electronic system may include a unique self-checking feature to regularly insure that the system is properly functioning, thereby avoiding nonresponse to an intruder. The electronic system also may dynamically adjusts its effective sensitivity to insure proper response of the system to low level inputs.
