Dual-core processing from Honeywell is a truly powerful system and includes features such as concurrent diagnostics, digital fluorescent light interference filter, digital adaptive microwave threshold, adaptive baselines, and bi-directional temperature compensation.

K-Band microwave technology delivers sharp detection without holes or weak spots. The custom made source offers pattern shaping to fill the protected area with a broad, balloon-shaped pattern which matches the PIR pattern. It also offers pattern containment to reduce the penetration of microwave energy through walls.

Concurrent diagnostics assure optimum performance and reliability. Self-testing is performed upon power-up and at least once every hour on the PIR, microwave, PCB circuitry and temperature compensation circuitry.

PIR and microwave signals are analyzed in the microcontroller in multiple domains, including amplitude, time, frequency and duration to provide superior false alarm immunity without compromising detection. DualCore processing not only supports alarm functions, but also advanced temperature compensation, diagnostics, and false alarm features.
