The detection efficiency of a pixel detector of an EAS telescope using optical UV filters is determined in this work. Based on the Auger Fluorescence Detector geometry, we have calculated the overall efficiency of the pixel detector using an appropriate method which takes into account the particular spectral functions and the dependence on the angle of incidence of the optical filter used. Assuming EAS events developed with various inclinations generated by AIRES code, we calculate the number of electrons and positrons produced during the development of the EAS. The detection efficiency of the pixel detector is taken into account in estimating the signal to be recorded(number of photo electrons).
