The TAKEX PA‑6812ER is a compact hardwired Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor built for reliable indoor intrusion detection across commercial, industrial, and residential environments. Designed for ceiling or wall mounting up to 2.6 m, it features a 12 m wide-angle detection area, selectable dry contact SPST output, and operates on multi-voltage DC power (10.5–30 VDC).
Perfect for applications requiring discreet yet high-performance coverage, the PA‑6812ER’s ultra-slim housing is 30% smaller than previous models and includes advanced features like pulse count selection, LED alarm memory, and remote LED control. It's a versatile solution for alarm systems, security upgrades, and smart building integrations.
