The TAKEX PA‑6812E is a compact, professional-grade Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) designed for indoor security applications. With a wide-angle detection pattern up to 12 metres, this sensor integrates seamlessly into modern alarm systems, offering adjustable pulse count, selectable relay output (N.C./N.O.), and remote LED control.
Its ultra-slim housing is 30% smaller than previous TAKEX models, making it ideal for discreet installations in commercial or residential interiors. The sensor supports both ceiling and wall mounting, and its snap-in base unit ensures quick and hassle-free installation and servicing, even at height.
