Debouncing a PIR with EZ-8

I'm planning a MIB prop and was looking at using the EZ-8 as the controller.  The prop will be triggered by a Parallax PIR mounted about 20 feet off the prop (see related post in I/O Support forum).  I'm concerned about noise on the trigger line causing a false signal.  I'm familiar with the debounce code for the prop-1; how does the EZ-8 handle this if I'm not inputting code?

Yes, the Prop-1 (whoops!) EZ-8 debounces all of the start inputs, PIR included.  Come on... you didn't think we would swallow our own medicine, did you?  ;)
