Draft
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 be 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. Glass 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! This is why you will see
unique features like continuous recording as long as the target is present in the PIR detection area for our
video systems. This feature alone is an invaluable tool for building video systems.
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 Cases 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 FOR 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 ring and a lanyard for easy attachment and have two external U bolts for mounting
onto trees and posts.
