ADVANCED TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The BX-80N/80NR uses advanced temperature compensation to automatically increase sensitivity under high temperatures, especially where the background temperature ranges from 35-37°C, close to that of the human body.

DOUBLE CONDUCTIVE SHIELDING
Our double conductive shielding blocks visible light disturbances and RFI, ensuring accurate detection.
