Section Six - Passive infra-red detectors for
use in buildings
FOREWORD
1)
The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters,
prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National Committees
having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly
as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects
dealt with.
2)
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they
are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
3) In order to promote
international unification,
the IEC expresses the
wish that all National Committees should adopt the text of the IEC
recommendation for their national rules in so far as national
conditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation
and the corresponding national rules
should, as far as possible, be
clearly indicated in the latter.
This standard has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee No. 79:
Alarm systems.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

ALARM SYSTEMS
Part 2: Requirements for intruder alarm systems
Section Six - Passive infra-red detectors for
use in buildings
1 Scope
This International Standard gives the specific requirements and test pro-
cedures for passive infra-red detectors for use in intruder alarm systems
installed in buildings. This standard is an addition to the general require-
ments for detectors for use in intruder alarm systems as specified in IEC
839-2-2; it shall also be used in conjunction with the standard for general
requirements of alarm systems, IEC 839-1-1. The detector may include
more than one sensor, but all sensors shall be in the same housing.
The object of this standard is to specify those requirements for passive
infra-red detectors which will ensure that they will perform satisfactorily
and minimize false alarms.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in
this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time
of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject
to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard
are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent
editions of the standards listed below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions
apply in addition to those given in the general requirements.
3.1 Passive infra-red detector
A detector which generates an alarm condition in response to a change in
the received level of infra-red radiation caused by persons moving in the
area of detection coverage.
3.2 Sensitive sectors
Those sectors in the optical pattern of the detector which detect infra-red
radiation.
3.3 Area of detection coverage
The area within which a reference target moving at a constant distance
from the detector will cause an alarm condition.
3.4 Reference target
A device with infra-red emission characteristics similar to those of an
average person. For the purpose of this standard, this shall take the form
shown in figure 1.
3.5 Detection ranges
The detection ranges for given directions are the radial distance from the
detector to the outer boundary of the area of detection coverage.
3.6 Secondary reference target
A device with infra-red emission characteristics similar to those of a small
animal, such as a rodent. For the purpose of this standard, this shall take
the form of a cylinder 30 mm in diameter and 150 mm in length.
4 General considerations
The detector shall consist of one or more sensors and a processor. Where
additional sensors may be optionally added, the tests required in Clause 6
shall be carried out without these additional sensors. The detectors may
have means incorporated to vary the direction of the sensitive sectors.
These means shall be within the equipment container. Detectors may also
incorporate means to permit the measurement of the extent of the sensitive
sectors, but if these means prevent the detector from meeting the require-
ments of this standard, an indication shall be given whenever they are in
use.

5 Requirements
5. 1 .1
Signal processing
The detector shall be capable of detecting the lateral movement of the
reference target with respect to the detector within the area of detection
coverage at speeds varying from 0,3 m/s to 3 m/s and shall cause an alarm
condition within 3 m of unidirectional movement by the reference target, at
a constant distance from the detector.
5.1.2 Restoration following an alarm condition
Following an alarm condition and the cessation of the movement which
caused it, the detector shall return to its normal non-alarm condition
within 10 s.
5.1.3 Resistance to small targets
The sensitivity of the detector shall be such that an alarm condition shall
not be generated when a secondary reference target is moved on the floor
when the detector is mounted at the fixing height recommended by the
manufacturer.
5.1.4 Resistance to background temperature changes
Variations in the background temperature throughout the range +25 °C to
+40 °C, at a rate of 1 °C/min, shall not cause an alarm condition.
5.1.5 Resistance to vehicle headlights
The detector shall not generate an alarm condition as a result of being
illuminated by the equivalent of a vehicle headlight shining through glass
when tested in accordance with 6.2.5.
5.1.6 Resistance to turbulent air
Turbulent air above or below the ambient temperature around the detector
shall not cause an alarm condition when the detector is tested in accord-
ance with 6.2.6.
5.1.7 Tamper protection
Tamper protection shall be fitted and shall generate an alarm condition
when the container is opened sufficiently to give access to any controls or
mechanical fixing adjustments.
5.1.8 Cable protection
Where a sensor is in a separate housing to the processor, the connecting
cable shall be considered to be part of the detector. It shall be electrically
monitored in such a way that, if the disconnection or short-circuit of any
conductor(s) prevents alarm information or a tamper alarm being received
by the processor, the processor it

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 60811 series specifies the test methods to be used for testing non-metallic materials
of all types of cables. These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for
cable construction and for cable materials.
NOTE 1 Non-metallic materials are typically used for insulating, sheathing, bedding, filling or taping within cables.
NOTE 2 These test methods are accepted as basic and fundamental and have been developed and used over
many years principally for the materials in all energy cables. They have also been widely accepted and used for
other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore
applications.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the definitions given in IEC 60811-100 apply.
4 Test method
4.1 General
This part of IEC 60811 shall be used in conjunction with IEC 60811-100.
All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the extrusion or cross-linking of the
insulating or sheathing compounds.
Tests shall be carried out at the temperature specified in the relevant cable standard.
For tests on the insulation, the test is intended for insulated conductors of circular cross-
section having an external diameter up to and including 12,5 mm and for sector-shaped cores
where it is not possible to prepare dumb-bells.
For tests on sheaths, the test is intended for cables with an overall diameter up to and
including 12,5 mm; and for flat cables, with a major axis dimension up to and including
12,5 mm.
If required by the relevant cable standard the test shall also be carried out on larger cables.
Note that equipment may need to be modified in accordance with the cable standard.
Otherwise, the insulation and sheath of larger cables shall be subjected to the elongation test
described in IEC 60811-505.

4.2 Bending test at low temperature for insulation
4.2.1 Sampling and preparation of test pieces
Each core to be tested shall be represented by two samples of suitable length. After removal
of the coverings, if any, the samples shall be used as test pieces.
4.2.2 Apparatus
The apparatus recommended for this test is represented in Figure 1, with explanations. It
consists essentially of one revolving mandrel and guiding devices for the test pieces.
Other single-mandrel apparatus, substantially equivalent to the one represented in Figure 1,
may also be used.
The apparatus shall be located in a suitable low temperature cabinet before and during the
test.
4.2.3 Procedure
The test piece shall be fixed in the apparatus, as shown in Figure 1.
The apparatus with the test piece in position shall be maintained in the suitable low
temperature cabinet at the specified temperature for a period of not less than 16 h. The
cooling period of 16 h includes the time necessary for cooling down the apparatus.
If the apparatus has been pre-cooled, a shorter cooling period is permissible, but not less
than 4 h at test temperature. If the apparatus and test specimens have been pre-cooled, a
cooling time of 1 h after each test piece has been fixed to the apparatus is sufficient.
At the end of the prescribed time, the mandrel shall be rotated, in accordance with the
conditions specified in 4.2.4, the test piece being guided so that it is bent tautly round the
mandrel in a close helix. In the case of sector-shaped test pieces, the circular “back” part of
the test piece shall be in contact with the mandrel.
Afterwards, the test piece, still on the mandrel, shall be allowed to attain approximately
ambient temperature.
4.2.4 Test conditions
The cooling and test temperature shall be as specified for the type of compound in the
relevant standard for the type of cable.
The diameter of the mandrel shall be between 4 and 5 times the diameter of the test piece.
The mandrel shall be uniformly rotated at a rate of one revolution in about 5 s and the number
of turns shall be as specified in Table 1:

Overall diameter, d, of the test piece
Number of turns

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
– 8 – 60811-504  IEC:2012
The actual diameter of each test piece shall be measured by a vernier calliper, a micrometer
or a measuring tape. For sector-shaped test pieces, the minor axis is taken as the parameter
equivalent to the diameter for determining the mandrel diameter and the number of turns.
For flat cables, the mandrel diameter shall be based on the minor axis dimension of the test
piece, which is wound on with its minor axis perpendicular to the mandrel.
4.2.5 Evaluation of results
At the end of the procedure described in 4.2.3, the test pieces shall be examined while still on
the mandrel. The insulation of both test pieces shall not show any cracks when examined with
normal or corrected vision, without magnification.
4.3 Bending test at low temperature for sheaths
4.3.1 Sampling and preparation of test pieces
For each sheath to be tested, two pieces of cable of suitable length shall be taken.
