Introduction
This European Standard deals with passive infrared detectors (to be referred to as the detector), used
as part of intrusion alarm systems installed in buildings. It includes four security grades and four
environmental classes.
The purpose of a detector is to detect the broad spectrum infrared radiation emitted by an intruder and
to provide the necessary range of signals or messages to be used by the rest of the intrusion alarm
system.
The number and scope of these signals or messages will be more comprehensive for systems that are
specified at the higher grades.
This European Standard is only concerned with the requirements and tests for the passive infrared
detectors. Other types of detectors are covered by other documents identified as in EN 50131-2
series.
1 Scope
This European Standard is for passive infrared detectors installed in buildings and provides for
security grades 1 to 4 (see EN 50131-1), specific or non-specific wired or wire-free detectors, and
uses environmental classes I to IV (see EN 50130-5). This European Standard does not include
requirements for passive infrared detectors intended for use outdoors.
It is essential that a detector fulfils all the requirements of the specified grade.
Functions additional to the mandatory functions specified in this standard may be included in the
detector, providing they do not influence the correct operation of the mandatory functions.
This European Standard does not apply to system interconnections.

An independent signal or message may be provided instead.
This permits two methods of signalling a masking or reduction of range event: either by
the intrusion signal and fault signal, or by a dedicated masking or reduction of range
signal or message. Use of the intrusion signal and fault signal is preferable, as this
requires fewer connections between CIE and detector. If multiple events overlap there
will be some signal combinations that may be ambiguous. To overcome this ambiguity it
is suggested that detectors should not signal ‘intrusion‘ and ‘fault‘ at the same time
except to indicate masking. This implies that the detector should prioritise signals, e.g. 1
Intrusion, 2 Fault, 3 Masking.
b
Alternatively Total loss of Power Supply shall be determined by loss of
communication with the detector.
When, in Table 1, an event may optionally generate signals or messages, they need to
be as shown in this table.
4.2 Detection
4.2.1 Detection performance
The detector shall generate an intrusion signal or message when the standard or simulated walk-test
target moves at velocities and attitudes specified in Table 3. For detection across the boundary the
walk-test distance shall be 1,5 m either side of the boundary. For detection within the boundary the
walk-test distance shall be 3,0 m.

For grade 3 and 4 detectors, the intermittent movement shall consist of the SWT walking 1 m at a velocity of
1,0 ms-1 then pausing for 5 s before continuing. The sequence shall be maintained until the SWT has
traversed through the entire detection area. This constitutes one walk test. The test shall be repeated in each
of the directions shown in Figure C.3.
b
The means to detect a significant reduction in range may be met either by detectors having the appropriate
function (4.2.3) or by suitable system design. Two or more devices (e.g. a detector in conjunction with a
camera, active transmitter or additional detector), may cooperate and interconnect with the system to provide
means to detect a significant reduction of range.
4.2.2 Indication of detection
An indicator shall be provided at the detector to indicate when an intrusion signal or message has
been generated. At grades 1 and 2 this indicator shall be capable of being enabled and disabled either
remotely at Access Level 2 and/or locally after removal of cover which provides tamper detection as
described in Tables 1 and 4. At grades 3 and 4 this indicator shall be capable of being enabled and
disabled remotely at Access Level 2.
4.2.3 Significant reduction of range
Grade 4 detectors shall detect significant reduction of range or coverage area due, for example, to
deliberate or accidental introduction of objects or obstructions into the coverage area.
Range reduction along the principal axis of detection of more than 50 % shall generate a signal or
message within 180 s, according to the requirements of Table 2 and Table 3.
The signals or messages shall remain for at least as long as the significant reduction of range
condition is present. A significant reduction of range signal or message shall not be reset while the
significant reduction of range condition is still present. Alternatively the significant reduction of range
signal or message shall be generated again within 180 s of being reset if the significant reduction of
range condition is still present.
If additional equipment is required to detect significant reduction of range, reference shall be made to
this equipment and its operation in the manufacturer’s documentation.
4.3 Operational requirements
4.3.1 Time interval between intrusion signals or messages
Detectors using wired interconnections shall be able to provide an intrusion signal or message not
more than 15 s after the end of the preceding intrusion signal or message.
Detectors using wire free interconnections shall be able to provide an intrusion signal or message after
the end of the preceding intrusion signal or message within the following times:
Grade 1 300 s
Grade 2 180 s
Grade 3 30 s
Grade 4 15 s
4.3.2 Switch on delay
The detector shall meet all functional requirements within 180 s of the power supply reaching its
nominal voltage as specified by the manufacturer.
4.3.3 Self-tests
4.3.3.1 General
Self-tests shall detect failures of a critical function (e.g. unable to detect temperature differences) and
signal these situations according to Table 2.
4.3.3.2 Local self-test
The detector shall automatically test itself at least once every 24 h according to the requirements of
Tables 1 and 2. If normal operation of the detector is inhibited during a local self-test, the detector
inhibition time shall be limited to a maximum of 30 s in any period of 2 h.
4.3.3.3 Remote self-test
A detector shall process remote self-tests and generate signals or messages in accordance with
Tables 1 and 2 within 10 s of the remote self-test signal being received, and shall return to normal
operation within 30 s of the remote test signal being received.
4.4 Immunity to incorrect operation
4.4.1 General
The detector shall be considered to have sufficient immunity to incorrect operation if the following
requirements have been met. No intrusion signal or message shall be generated during the tests.
4.4.2 Immunity to air flow
The detector shall not generate any signal or message when air is blown over the face of the detector.
4.4.3 Immunity to visible and near infrared radiation
The detector shall not generate any signal or message when a car headlamp is swept across the front
window or lens through two panes of glass.
4.5 Tamper security
4.5.1 General
Tamper security requirements for each grade of detector are shown in Table 4.
4.5.2 Resistance to and detection of unauthorised access to components and means of
adjustment
All components, means of adjustment and access to mounting screws, which, when interfered with,
could adversely affect the operation of the detector, shall be located within the detector housing. Such
access shall require the use of an appropriate tool and depending on the grade as specified in Table 4
shall generate a tamper signal or message before access can be gained.
It shall not be possible to gain such access without generating a tamper signal or message or causing
visible damage.
4.5.3 Detection of removal from the mounting surface
A tamper signal or message shall be generated if the detector is removed from its mounting surface, in
accordance with Table 4.
4.5.4 Resistance to, or detection of, re-orientation
After the torque given in Table 4 has been applied and removed from the detector it shall not have
rotated more than 5° from its original position. Alternatively, when the torque given in Table 4 is
applied, a tamper signal or message shall be generated if the detector rotates by more than 5°.
4.5.5 Immunity to magnetic field interference
It shall not be possible to inhibit any signals or messages with a magnet of grade dependence
according to Table 4. The magnet types shall be as described in Annex A.
4.5.6 Detection of masking
Means shall be provided to detect inhibition of the operation of the detector by masking according to
the requirements of Table 4.
The maximum response time for the masking detection device shall be 180 s. Masking shall be
signalled according to the requirements of Table 2. The signals or messages shall remain for at least
as long as the masking condition is present. A masking signal or message shall not be reset while the
masking condition is still present. Alternatively the masking signal or message shall be generated
again within 180 s of being reset if the masking condition is still present.
NOTE From a system design point of view it would be preferable for masked detectors to automatically reset
after the masking condition is removed.
No masking signal or message shall be generated by normal human movement according to Figure
C.6.
For detectors where detection of masking may be remotely disabled the detection of masking shall
operate when the I&HAS is unset; it is not required to operate when the I&HAS is set.

6 Testing
6.1 General
The tests are intended to be primarily concerned with verifying the correct operation of the detector to
the specification provided by the manufacturer. All the test parameters specified shall carry a general
tolerance of ± 10 % unless otherwise stated. A list of tests appears as a general test matrix in
Annex B.
6.2 General test conditions
6.2.1 Standard conditions for testing
The general atmospheric conditions in test and measurement laboratories shall be those as specified
below, unless stated otherwise.
— Temperature 15 °C to 35 °C
— Relative humidity 25 % RH to 75 % RH
— Air pressure 86 kPa to 106 kPa (860 mbar to 1 060 mbar)
All values are “inclusive values”.
6.2.2 General detection testing environment and procedures
Manufacturer’s documented instructions regarding mounting and operation shall be read and applied
to all tests.
6.2.3 Testing environment
The detection tests require an enclosed, unobstructed and draught-free area that enables testing of
the manufacturer’s claimed coverage pattern.
The test area walls and floor shall have a recommended emissivity of at least 80 % between 8 µm and
14 µm wavelength, at least directly behind the SWT.
The temperature of the background surface immediately behind the SWT shall be in the range 15 °C
to 25 °C, and shall be horizontally uniform over that area to ± 2 °C. Over the whole background area it
shall be measured at ten points spread evenly throughout the coverage pattern. The average
background temperature is the linear average of the ten points.
Annex C provides example diagrams for the range of walk tests for one format of detection pattern.
Many others are possible.
6.2.4 Mounting height
If the manufacturer claims different detection patterns for different mounting heights, each pattern shall
be tested at the specified height.
If the manufacturer claims one pattern for a range of mounting heights, the full pattern shall be tested
at the claimed nominal height. If no nominal is specified, the full pattern shall be tested at the midpoint
of the height range. At the maximum mounting height all points closer than 4m from the detector shall
be tested and all points at maximum claimed range shall be tested. At the minimum mounting height
all points at maximum claimed range shall be tested.
The mounting heights do not apply for EMC and environmental tests.
6.2.5 Standard walk test target
6.2.5.1 General
The SWT shall have the physical dimensions of 1,60 m to 1,85 m in height, shall weigh 70 kg ± 10 kg
and shall wear close-fitting clothing having a recommended emissivity of at least 80 % between 8 µm
and 14 µm wavelength.
Temperatures shall be measured at the following five points on the front of the body of the SWT:
1. Head
2. Chest
3. Back of hand
4. Knee
5. Feet
Temperatures shall be measured using a non-contact thermometer or equivalent equipment.
The temperature differential at each body point is measured, then weighted and averaged as detailed
in Annex D.1.
There shall be a means of calibration and control of the desired velocity at which the SWT is required
to move.
The use of a simulator/robot in place of the SWT is permitted, provided that it meets the specification
of the SWT with regard to temperature. It is known as the simulated target. In case of conflict, a
human walk test shall be the primary reference.
6.2.5.2 Standard walk test target temperature differential
The walk tests shall be performed either with an average temperature differential Dtr (as calculated in
Annex D.1) of 3,5 °C ± 20 %, or if the temperature differential is larger than 3,5 °C + 20 % (4,2 °C), it
may be adjusted by one of the means specified in Annex D.2.
6.2.6 Testing procedures
The detector shall be connected to the nominal supply voltage, and connected to equipment with a
means of monitoring intrusion signals or messages. The detector shall be allowed to stabilise for 180
s.
If multiple sensitivity modes (e.g. pulse counting) are available, any non-compliant modes shall be
identified by the manufacturer. For walk tests the sensor shall be, if applicable, set into the minimum
claimed sensitivity setting (e.g. maximum claimed pulse count setting, if available). For all other tests,
at least the highest claimed sensitivity mode shall be tested.
6.3 Basic detection test
6.3.1 General
The purpose of the basic detection test is to verify that a detector is still operational after a test or tests
has/have been carried out. The basic detection test verifies only the qualitative performance of a
detector. The basic detection test is performed using the BDT.
6.3.2 Basic detection target (BDT)
The BDT consists of a heat source equivalent to the human hand that can be moved across the field
of view of the detector. An informative description is given in Annex E. The temperature of the source
shall be between 3,5 °C and 10,0 °C above the background.
A close-in walk test may be carried out as an alternative to using the BDT.
6.3.3 Basic test of detection capability
A stimulus that is similar to that produced by the SWT is applied to the detector, using the BDT. Move
the BDT perpendicularly across the centre line of the detection field at a distance of not more than
1 m, and at a height where the manufacturer claims detection will occur.
-1 -1
Move the BDT a distance of 1 m at a velocity of 0,5 ms to 1,0 ms . The detector shall produce an
intrusion signal or message when exposed to an alarm stimulus both before and after being subjected
to any test that may adversely affect its performance.
6.4 Walk testing
6.4.1 General walk test method and setup
Walk testing is accomplished by the controlled movement of a SWT across the field of view of the
detector. The grade dependent velocities and attitudes to be used by the SWT are specified in
Table 3. The tolerance of these velocities shall be better than ± 10 %. The SWT begins and ends a
walk with feet together. Annex F is an informative description of two systems that may be used to
control and monitor the desired velocity.
The detector shall be mounted at a height according to 6.2.4. The orientation shall be as specified by
the manufacturer with unobstructed view of the walk test to be performed.
6.4.2 Verification of detection performance
The general test conditions of 6.2.1, 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 shall apply to all tests in this series.
Detection performance shall be tested against the manufacturer’s documented claims. Example walk
test diagrams are shown in Annex C.
Any variable controls shall be set to the values recommended by the manufacturer to achieve the
claimed performance.
PIR detectors of all types shall be assessed in the specified test environment.
If the dimensions of the detection pattern exceed the available test space, it may be tested in sections
rather than as a whole.
The SWT or a suitable simulated target, with its temperature difference with the background adjusted
according to Annex D shall be used. Grade dependent velocities and attitudes are specified in
Table 3.
6.4.3 Detection across and within the detection boundary
6.4.3.1 General
The tests assess detection of intruders moving within and across the boundaries of the detection area.
The diagrams in Annex C show an example of the detection boundary superimposed where
appropriate upon a scaled 2 m squared grid. A variety of boundary formats is possible and can be
tested.
6.4.3.2 Verify detection across the boundary
Figure C.1 shows an example of a manufacturer’s claimed detection boundary.
Place test points at 2 m intervals around the boundary of the detection pattern, starting from the
detector, and finishing where the boundary crosses the detector axis. Repeat for the opposite side of
the detection pattern. If the gap between the final point on each side is greater than 2 m, place a test
point where the boundary crosses the detector axis. For grade 1 detectors it is only necessary to test
alternate test points.
Each test point is connected to the detector by a radial line. At each test point, two test directions into
the detection coverage pattern are available at + 45° and – 45° to the radial line. Both directions shall
be tested beginning at a distance of 1,5 m from the test point, and finish 1,5 m after it.
A walk test is a walk in one direction through a test point. Before commencing and after completing
each walk test the SWT shall stand still for at least 20 s.
A walk test that generates an intrusion signal or message is a passed walk test. Alternatively if the first
walk test attempt does not generate an intrusion signal or message then four further attempts shall be
carried out. All of these further attempts shall generate an intrusion signal or message to constitute a
passed walk test.
Pass/Fail criteria: There shall be a passed walk test in both directions for every test point.
6.4.3.3 Verify detection within the boundary
Figure C.2 shows an example of a manufacturer’s claimed detection boundary superimposed upon a
scaled 2 m squared grid.
Starting at the detector, place the first test point at 4 m along the detector axis. Using the 2 m squared
grid, place further test points at every alternate grid intersection, on both sides of the detector axis. No
test point shall be less than 1 m from, or lie outside, the claimed boundary.
Each test point is connected to the detector by a radial line. At each test point, two test directions are
available, at + 45° and – 45° to the radial line. Both directions shall be tested beginning at a distance
of 1,5 m from the test point, and finish 1,5 m after it.
A walk test is a walk in one direction through a test point. Before commencing and after completing
each walk test the SWT shall stand still for at least 20 s.
A walk test that generates an intrusion signal or message is a passed walk test. Alternatively if the first
walk test attempt does not generate an intrusion signal or message then four further attempts shall be
carried out. All of these further attempts shall generate an intrusion signal or message to constitute a
passed walk test.
Pass/Fail criteria: There shall be a passed walk test in both directions for every test point.
