MultiZone PIR Fresnel Lenses

MultiZone PIR fresnel lenses are lens arrays used for PIR detection like intruder alarms or lighting applications. All lenses are made from infrared transmissive HDPE plastic for use in the 7..14 microns PIR wavelength band and are approx. 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm thick, depending on the model.

The application is in the smaller quantity range where a customer-specific lens is not worthwhile.

Color: natural standard (opaque); light black (LB); white or grey on request.

Cone Optics

The PIR cone optics of KUBE Electronics AG works on the principle of the kaleidoscope (multiple reflection inside a cone). This physical principle is only used in one dimension, which leads to optimal solutions for wall applications.
As with lens solutions, the cone optics are used in conjunction with a standard pyroelectric sensor with two active elements. KUBE Electronics AG offers Konus optics for two different sensor types, which differ in the sensor housings. There is a solution for a TO-5 package and another solution for the flat pack package. The sensor circuit does not differ from that of the lens solution.
The advantage of the cone optics over conventional PIR Fresnel lenses is that it has a very small front opening and is therefore very compact and space-saving. This is achieved by multiple reflection inside the cone. With the KUBE cone optics, a field of view of about 110 ° and a range of over 12 meters can be covered.
The small and flat front opening allows an unobtrusive and vandalism-safe design. Environmental influences such as draft or light are also largely compensated.
By appropriate dimensioning of the cone geometry on 2-dimensional multiple reflections, ceiling applications could also be realized. However, no standard products are available for this.

KUBE PIR Window TR231

Price List

PIR Window

PIR window (without optics)

The PIR window TR231 is ideal for use with the cone TR230 / TR232- and seals it against the environment. It can also be used in simple applications without optics and lenses. The round PIR window TR1201 is specially designed for SMD or small PIR sensors with integrated optics.
For applications for triggering cameras, a restricted lateral viewing angle of approx. 60 degrees together with the cone TR23x is preferred. The PIR window TR1201 with an additional vertical separation device is used for this.

As an alternative solution to the windows, the KUBE PIR transmissive window films can be used for the same purpose.

PIR Sensors

A pyroelectric sensor, also PIR sensor, is a semiconductor sensor used to detect temperature changes.

PIR sensors are based on the eponymous pyroelectricity, a property of some piezoelectric semiconductor crystals. In this case, a temperature change ΔT leads to a measurable change in the electrical voltage at the sensor output.

Like other temperature sensors, PIR sensors do not react to a specific, constant temperature level, but only to the change in temperature. There are analog and digital pyroelectric sensors.

Digital PIR sensors have a much higher immunity to interference, due to their structure. Analog PIR sensors, however, are far cheaper. Further differences are nonexistent.

A simple optic is placed over the active sensor element to improve detection of changes and range. Typically, a spherically or cylindrically curved HDPE Fresnel lens is used. Due to the design of this lens, on the one hand, the spatial effect of the sensor can be influenced and adapted to the respective application, on the other hand, the steps of the Fresnel lens in combination with the two sensor elements result in a spatial fanning of the sensitivity ranges, which the detection of spatial changes of heat sources through steeper transitions improved. The Fresnel lens may be subdivided into individual sector elements and into a plurality of partial lenses.

Logistics

All goods ordered and purchased from KUBE Electronics AG are delivered to the customer under the terms of delivery „ex works“ (Incoterm 2020 := EXW <location>).

Incoterms

INCOTERMS 2020	EXW	DAP
Transport to destination	Buyer	Seller
Export-customs-declaration	Buyer	Seller
Import-customs-clearance	Buyer	Seller
Import-taxation	Buyer	Seller
Insurance	Buyer	Seller

Important: For DAP, KUBE Electronics AG takes responsibility only for additional commissions

This essentially means that the customer bears both the responsibility and the costs for all activities that occur during the transport. In the case of export transactions, this also includes export and import customs clearance. However, at the customer’s request, KUBE Electronics AG also organizes the transports (including insurance). These will be charged additionally and shown separately there. The delivery term is then „Delivered named place“ (Incoterm 2020 := DAP) in the country of destination. In doing so, KUBE Electronics AG relies on standard logistics companies, which, depending on their scope of delivery and destination, are either Swiss Post, GLS or Dachser Spedition AG. For consignments that are sent directly from our production sites, DPD and the Dachser company are our standard logistics companies.

If the customer wishes to be picked up by a courier company (FedEx, UPS, DHL, TNT, …) or by a freight forwarder of his choice, the customer must register this collection himself. This means that KUBE Electronics AG does NOT declare the deliveries for shipment. In this case, KUBE Electronics AG supports the dispatch so that the data required for collection (gross weight, package dimensions, description of goods including customs tariff number and the pickup address) are sent to the customer by e-mail in good time, depending on terms of payment and the required delivery time.
After registration with the respective courier, the shipping documents consisting of the bill of lading and the label must be sent by e-mail to KUBE Electronics AG. KUBE Electronics AG will enclose these shipping documents with the necessary copies of the commercial invoice, each with original signatures, to the delivery. Now the goods are ready to be picked up, and they can be handed over to the courier. As confirmation for the collection, KUBE Electronics AG sends the customer the commercial invoice by e-mail with indication of the corresponding tracking number.

For deliveries by courier with a value of less than < Euro 350.00 KUBE Electronics AG will charge an additional packing fee of € 15.00, which will be shown separately.

Importance:

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals

Purpose:

EU Chemicals Ordinance on Harmonization and Simplification of Chemicals Law.

Affected substances:

As a result of this registration, ECHA classifies these substances according to their hazardousness to various aspects. The substances of very high concern are listed in a separate list (REACH – Substances of Very High Concern) which is reissued twice a year.

Scope:

	KUBE PIR Granulates

Importance:

Plastic combustibility test for parts in devices and applications of Underwriters Laboratories.

Purpose:

Describes a method for assessing and classifying the flammability of plastics.

Classification	Description
HB	slow burning of a horizontally clamped sample (HB75 / HB 40)
V-2	extinguishing a vertically clamped sample within 30 seconds. Burning dripping of plastic melt allowed.
V-1	Same as V-2, but no burning dripping of plastic melt allowed. Maximum 60 seconds afterglow.
V-0	Like V-1, but extinguishing the flame within 10 seconds. Maximum 30 seconds afterglow.
5VB	extinguishing a vertically clamped sample after 5 flashes for 5 seconds each; no dripping allowed.
5VA	like 5VB, additional test on a horizontally clamped plate; neither dripping nor formation of burn holes with a diameter > 1mm are permitted.

The achieved classification is registered in publicly accessible, so-called yellow cards (examination at UL or an accredited test laboratory).

Scope:

The linear burning rate of KUBE Electronics HDPE Lens 0.5mm Thick Model 22302 was 50mm/min. Therefore it meets with the Horizontal Burning Test; HB requirements based on the burning rate. No yellow card available.
