“These are the best performing indoor hardwired sensors we’ve ever built, with significant advancements that represent a real evolution in motion detection technology,” said Farshid Ossareh, product line leader, Honeywell Security. “We’ve incorporated world-class mirror optics in select models that provide more accurate detection, enhanced anti-masking capabilities, more robust pet immunity, better high temperature performance and more. They provide the security professional with outstanding options for protecting any home or business.”

The advanced mirror optics are designd to provides superior accuracy at lower energy thresholds for better detection and fewer false alarms, whilst high temperature detection delivers 25% better detection range than others on the market in high-temperature environments—delivering excellent performance in warehouses and factories heated to 35° C when field-tested.

A robust pet immunity feature can reliably distinguish between human intruders and dogs weighing up to 45kg—reducing false alarms without compromising catch detection and with true, sustained compliant anti-masking the sensors provides superior protection against intruders attempting to block the field of view with sprays or liquids, making it excellent for high-risk commercial settings like banks and jewelry stores.  Effective white light immunity and a patented black bug guard and advanced optics provide 6,500 lux of white light immunity, reducing false alarms caused by lights, flashlights or reflective objects.

“We know that time is money, and our snap and set installation technology can save installers both,” said Farshid Ossareh. “From a warm-up period of less than a minute to features that reduce time on the ladder and make wiring and mounting a snap, everything has been designed to make installations faster and easier.”

The snap-open case is designed as a two-piece ergonomic enclosure that requires no special tools to open and there is a snap-in place screw retention feature provided by patented, low-profile inserts situated in the rear cover that secure screws in place, letting installers keep hands free to level and mount the device.  On the same theme there is a snap-in wiring terminal enabling a seamless connection and speeds up wiring time,  a snap walk test that triggers walk test mode with the flick of a flashlight, reducing the number of trips to the sensor and the ladder during installation and a snap and select end-of-line (EOL) resistor facility that auto-calibrates the required resistor value with the flip of a switch, eliminating splicing and crimping.

“We’ve built upon decades of innovation to design the IS3000 and DT8000 Series—resulting in a line that offers best-in-class performance and installation features that save time, money and deliver a great out-of-the-box experience,” explained Farshid Ossareh.
