IEC 63180:2020 pdf download.Methods of measurement and declaration of the detection range of detectors
1 Scope
This document provides a methodology and test procedures to be able to declare and verify the detection area for motion detectors using passive infrared technology in electronic control devices and appliance switches, whether stand-alone (direct control of one or more applications) or as part of home and building electronic systems or building automation control systems (HBES/BACS) or similar. It also provides a uniform way to present the test results. The purpose of these detectors is to detect the major and minor movements of persons.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 infrared IR optical radiation for which the wavelengths in vacuum are longer than those for visible radiation, that is approximately between 780 nm and 1 mm [SOURCE: IEC 60050-731:1991, 731-01-05] 3.2 passive infrared detector electronic detector that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from humans in its field of view 3.3 motion detector unit detecting motion that can be part of an electronic control device or an appliance switch Note 1 to entry: “Electronic control device” is used as a general term to cover electronic switches, HBES/BACS switches and electronic extension units. 3.4 major motion movement of a person walking into an area or walking within an area 3.9 non-detection area surface area where detection is not expected Note 1 to entry: Although it becomes unlikely that detection of persons will occur, triggering of the detector is not excluded in this area. 3.10 sensitivity degree of response of a detector to an incoming signal Note 1 to entry: Depending on the technology, sensitivity can be adjusted for certain parameters (e.g. range, amplification of infrared signal). 3.11 delay-time duration of time from the moment the motion was last detected until the status of the controlled load is changed 3.12 dead time time during which the detector is unable to detect after the delay-time and at start up
4 General requirements on tests
Detectors shall be mounted and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Manufacturer’s instructions regarding operation shall be applied to all tests, where applicable. It is allowed to set the delay-time of detectors at minimum setting or in test mode. The sensitivity is set at maximum. NOTE A modification of the detector software with a minimum value of 5 s for the delay-time can be necessary to shorten the test time in total. During the test, the detectors shall be able to activate the load independently of the light level in the test room. The dead time of the detector shall be considered according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The timing of any persons’ (dummy) movement and any test arm movement shall be adjusted accordingly. Tests according to this document are type tests. NOTE Type tests are defined in IEC 60050-581:2008, 581-21-08.For detectors installed in an HBES/BACS, a minimum configuration is built to test the performance of the detectors. The digital output signal is monitored to verify the activation of the detectors or a load can be switched in the HBES/BACS. In the latter case the dead time of the HBES/BACS shall be taken into consideration. The major motion test can be executed via a human walking test or via an automated test system as described in this document.
