Digital Solutions
Dexter's Digital Detectors and Temperature Sensor Modules (TSM's) are based on Dexter's superior silicon thermopile technology and incorporate an ASIC that provides a cost effective front end for reading out the detector output. The digital solutions include pre-amplification, A/D, multi-plexing and SMBus communications. Additionaly, the SMBus can accommodate communications with up to 100 digital products. Our digital solutions are housed in industry standard TO-5/TO-39 packages.

Laser Power and Targeting
ST60 Quad
A four-channel silicon-based thermopile detector in a TO-5 package. Each small active area size is 0.61mm x 0.61mm. This is our lowest-cost and fastest time constant four-channel detector. It delivers a time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas combined with a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Request to Exit Sensor - Motion/Presence Sensors
Thermacon - Request to Exit Sensor, Concealed Passive Infrared Motion SensorA concealed and totally silent passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that detects the presence of natural body heat and activates a relay. Relay activation begins when the detection area is entered and remains on for the duration of the preset relay timing. The unit is designed for concealed and easy installation in suspended ceilings. Four interchangeable detection patterns are standard with each unit. Units accept a power supply range of 12 to 24 volts AC or DC

Services
By working in this way to help meet our customers’ needs, we have developed more than 30 models and over 900 finished goods. That gives you more detector choices, by far, than you will find from any other supplier. These provide the core products we customize for our customers. There’s no “one size fits all” here. With Dexter detectors, you will not need to compromise on noise, sensitivity, size, and durability. Instead, we have just the right component to help optimize performance for your sensing application.
