PRESENCE MONITOR (WiFi/I-o-T)
(Model AR-APMW-1)
Unlike conventional PIR sensors that require body movement, this AVATAR product houses an infra-red (IR)
thermal imaging sensor to capture the radiation emitted by human body.
The sensor FOV (field of view) of 60 degrees can cover a large area and can sense up to a distance of 4
meters. Signal from 64 thermopile sensors are processed by a microcontroller where different levels of
software checks are performed to judge human presence. There is a built-in relay as well as a WiFi module
inside the monitor.
A relay output (NO/NC) is provided to turn ON any external devices when a human presence is detected and
automatically turns OFF otherwise.
The WIFI module sends the following information to the internet for remote viewing every minute.
Occupancy/Presence
Location/Area/Room number
Current accumulated time in minutes (while presence detected).
Yesterday’s accumulated time in minutes (while presence detected).
The device helps in achieving
Efficient energy management by automatically turning OFF equipment power when not in use;
Remote management/reporting of occupancy in accommodation facilities and hotels.
Alerting presence in security or restricted areas.
Detection at NO AMBIENT LIGHT (night-time) for capturing unauthorized/authorized presence.
Alarms can be generated, messages can be triggered over internet and cameras/light may be
switched on, gates can be opened/locked etc;).

The unit must be mounted/installed by taking into account the following factors/checklist.
Avoid wind-flow paths, for example near a fan. The sensing path between the sensor and detection
area must be free from erratic cold and hot wind-flow (that could cause erratic thermal gradients).
Avoid vibrations. The device mounting should be rigid and not shaking due to wind or other factors.
Align sensor (FOV, field of view) such that adequate sensor pixels capture human presence in the
detection area.
Avoid high humidity which may cause condensation and block the sensor window.
Avoid solid objects that block the sensor view path.
Keep away from hot objects.
Keep away from strong magnetic or electrical interference.
At power-on, it will take approximately 15 seconds to complete the initialization. The WiFi network
connection may take time ranging from few seconds to about a minute depending on the local signal
strength. In case a connection is not achievable, then it temporarily bypasses the WIFI and continue
operation. The device automatically keeps checking and try connecting every 10 minutes.
Note:
1. Since this uses thermal imaging, objects that could radiate heat in the same IR wavelength may also
trigger a presence.
2. Wherever needed, other methods to restrict pets in the detection area is recommended.
3. Pay attention to electrical safety while using 110-230 VAC main supply.
