ELECTRIC APPARATUS WITH SENSOR DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention pertains to an electric apparatus with a sensor detection system for detecting the presence and/or movement of human beings within a predetermined proximity of the electric apparatus, the sensor detection system generating an electric output signal for controlling the electric apparatus. The sensor detection system comprises at least two sensors (1, 2) wherein a first sensor (1) is designed for monitoring gross parameters of presence and/or movement and wherein a second sensor (2) is designed for monitoring precise parameters of presence and/or movement. The second sensor (2) is electrically post-connected to the first sensor (1) such that the second sensor (2) is activated depending on a first sensor signal of the first sensor (1) upon gross detection of presence and/or movement by the first sensor (1), and generating a second sensor signal upon precise detection of presence and/or movement, the second sensor signal constituting the output signal of the sensor detection system.
