PROTECH PIRAMID XL3 GENERAL PIRAMID XL3 is a dual-technology sensor: • A passive infrared unit composed of a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor that detects radiation emitted by the human body in the infrared spectrum. • A Microwave antenna using a 10,510 GHz frequency transmitter and a Doppler Effect receiver detect changes in the state of the radiation field caused by passage of an object or body in the lobe created by the antenna.
