Omron Electronics D6T Series MEMS Thermal Sensors are high sensitive infrared temperature sensors that enable the complete use of Omron’s proprietary MEMS sensing technology. The D6T thermal sensors enable sensing of the presence of stationary humans by sensing body heat and thus can be used to automatically switch off unnecessary air conditioning, lighting, etc. when you are not there. Moreover, the D6T MEMS Thermal Sensor is also able to observe the room temperature; it can also be used to continually preserve optimal room temperature levels, immediately sense unusual temperature changes, thus detecting factory line stoppages or determining areas of overheating for early prevention of fire outbreaks.

High Sensitivity Enables Detection of Stationary Human Presence
- OMRON’s unique MEMS and ASIC technology achieve a high SNR (except for the D6T-32L-01A).
- Superior noise immunity with a digital output.
- High-precision area temperature detection with low cross-talk field of view characteristics.
D6T Series can sense human pressure by sensing changes in human body temperature concerning the adjoining temperature. D6T sensors can sense the smallest amount of temperature changes that can be used in several applications including energy-efficient home applications and security systems. These sensors can also be used in the applications of HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and BEMS (Building Energy Management System).
