Simply put, daylight sensors sense the amount of light in an area and either dim or turn off electric lighting sources to that area. Occupancy sensors are not impacted by the amount of daylight in a space, but by the motion of people within the space, keeping the lights on when there is movement and turning them off after a set time without movement.

How can you tell the difference between a digital sensor and an analog sensor?

Analogue sensors are usualy more accurate :P


How do 3 way occupancy sensors work to detect movement and control lighting in a room?

3-way occupancy sensors use infrared technology to detect movement in a room. When motion is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the lighting system to turn on. If no movement is detected for a set period of time, the sensor will turn off the lights to save energy.

Do occupancy sensor sense the human bodies in an open area if so then how far it detects the human presence?

Yes. Occupancy sensor do sense the human movements in an open area with in the specified range. It is better to refer to the data sheet of a specific make, model to decide on the range. There are two types of occupancy sensors. Pyrotech Infra red (PIR) type or Ultrsonic type.

What is difference between upstream and downstream in relation to oxygen sensors on vehicles?

Upstream will be the closest to the engine, and are used to sense the air/fuel ratio and tell the computer how much fuel to inject. Downstream sensors are used to verify the upstream sensors and convertors are functioning correctly, so they are located after the convertors.

Does infrared work in daylight?

Yes, infrared light can still be used in daylight, but its effectiveness can be reduced due to the presence of natural sunlight which can interfere with the infrared signals. Specialized filters or sensors may be needed to help improve performance in daytime conditions.


What is the difference between before and after converter when installing oxygen sensors?

Depends on the vehicle. Sometimes they are all the same. Sometimes the O2 sensors in front of the converter are heated while the rear ones aren't. But the main difference is that the front ones are the ones that effect how the engine runs. The rear ones don't effect how the engine runs. They are only there as a check on the catalytic converter.


What are the key differences between a CMOS sensor and a MOS sensor, and how do these differences impact the performance of digital cameras?

A CMOS sensor and a MOS sensor are both types of image sensors used in digital cameras. The key difference between them is in how they are manufactured. CMOS sensors have additional circuitry integrated on the sensor itself, allowing for faster readout speeds and lower power consumption compared to MOS sensors. This can result in better performance in terms of image quality, speed, and battery life in digital cameras using CMOS sensors.
