XDL12TT3-WE

Pyronix Wireless External PIR Motion Detector

1. Introduction

The XDL12TT3-WE is a wireless external PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detector designed specifically for outdoor installations. It is built to withstand the elements and provide reliable detection in challenging environments. The dual-technology system combines PIR (infrared) and microwave sensors to offer robust performance, ensuring accurate motion detection with minimal false alarms. Ideal for outdoor perimeters, driveways, gardens, and other external areas, this detector is pet-tolerant, reducing unnecessary alerts triggered by animals, and is fully compatible with Pyronix wireless alarm systems.

2. Key Features

• Outdoor Performance:
  The XDL12TT3-WE is designed for external installations, providing weather-resistant housing to protect the sensor from rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. It ensures reliable operation even in harsh outdoor conditions.

• Pet-Tolerant:
  The pet-tolerant feature allows the sensor to ignore the movement of small animals (typically up to 12kg) to minimize false alarms. This makes it ideal for use in environments with pets, like gardens or courtyards.

• Dual-Technology:
  The sensor combines infrared detection (PIR) and microwave technology. The PIR sensor detects changes in infrared radiation (heat), while the microwave sensor uses high-frequency waves to detect motion. The dual technology improves the accuracy of detection and reduces false alarms, especially in environments with fluctuating temperatures or challenging lighting conditions.

• Long Detection Range:
  The XDL12TT3-WE has an impressive 12-meter detection range and a 110° detection angle, making it suitable for covering wide areas like fences, gates, or property boundaries.

• Wireless Connectivity:
  As a wireless PIR detector, the XDL12TT3-WE connects to the Pyronix Enforcer and other compatible systems via two-way wireless communication. This ensures that there is minimal wiring required, simplifying installation and allowing greater flexibility in sensor placement.

• Tamper Protection:
  The device is equipped with tamper detection, which signals the alarm system if the sensor is physically disturbed or moved.

• Adjustable Sensitivity:
  The sensitivity of the detector can be adjusted to suit the environment, allowing you to fine-tune its detection range and responsiveness to specific needs.

• Anti-Masking Technology:
  The anti-masking feature prevents the sensor from being obstructed or covered by objects that could affect its ability to detect motion (e.g., foliage, debris).

3. Installation and Setup

A. Installation Process

1. Choosing the Location:
   The XDL12TT3-WE is ideal for external locations where motion detection is necessary. Some common installation areas include:

   • Perimeter fencing or gates for property boundary protection.
   • Driveways, walkways, and gardens where security is required.
   • Outdoor doorways or windows that need additional protection.

   It’s important to place the sensor at a height of around 2-3 meters from the ground for optimal coverage.

2. Mounting the Sensor:
   Mount the detector securely to a flat surface (e.g., wall, fence, or pole) using the supplied mounting bracket and screws. The detector can be angled for precise coverage, allowing it to monitor large areas or specific zones.

3. Wireless Pairing:
   Once the sensor is physically installed, the next step is to pair it with the Pyronix control panel (e.g., Enforcer V11).

   • Enter the learning mode on the control panel, then follow the instructions to pair the XDL12TT3-WE with the system wirelessly.
   • The system will confirm that the sensor is correctly connected, and it can be tested for functionality.

4. Testing the Sensor:
   After installation, test the sensor to ensure it correctly detects movement. Walk in front of it and check that it triggers the alarm system. Test the pet-tolerant feature by introducing a pet (under 12kg) and confirming that the sensor does not activate the alarm.

4. Functionality and Operations

A. Motion Detection

The XDL12TT3-WE uses two complementary detection technologies to ensure accurate motion sensing:

• PIR (Passive Infrared):
  This sensor detects infrared radiation emitted by warm bodies (such as humans). When a person enters the sensor's detection zone, the sensor detects a sudden change in infrared energy, triggering an alarm.

• Microwave Detection:
  The microwave sensor emits high-frequency radio waves that bounce off objects in the detection area. When movement alters the signal, the sensor recognizes it as motion. This enhances the overall sensitivity and reduces the likelihood of false alarms caused by environmental changes.

By combining both technologies, the detector becomes more resistant to environmental factors like temperature changes, humidity, or lighting variations, which could affect a single technology.

B. Wireless Communication

The XDL12TT3-WE communicates wirelessly with the Pyronix control panel, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for extensive cabling. The two-way wireless system ensures reliable communication, with the panel receiving real-time alerts when motion is detected, and the sensor receiving feedback such as battery status or signal strength.

C. Pet Tolerance

The sensor’s pet-tolerant feature allows it to ignore the movement of small pets, such as cats and small dogs weighing under 12kg. This helps prevent false alarms, making it ideal for homes with pets or for environments where animals may roam freely.

5. Maintenance Tips

• Battery Replacement:
  The sensor operates on batteries, which need to be replaced periodically. When the system detects low battery levels, you will be notified. Always use the recommended batteries for optimal performance.

• Regular Testing:
  It is important to test the sensor periodically, especially after installation, to ensure it is detecting motion correctly and communicating effectively with the alarm panel.

• Cleaning:
  Keep the lens and sensor area clean and free from dirt, cobwebs, or obstructions to ensure accurate detection. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior.

• Environmental Considerations:
  Since the detector is designed for outdoor use, ensure that it is not obstructed by objects like foliage or structures that could interfere with its field of view.

6. Benefits

• Reliable Outdoor Detection:
  The XDL12TT3-WE is specifically designed to handle outdoor environments, providing robust security for external areas such as driveways, gates, and property boundaries.

• Pet-Friendly:
  The pet-tolerant feature helps reduce false alarms, making it ideal for homes with pets.

• Dual Technology:
  The combination of PIR and microwave sensors ensures high detection accuracy and performance.

• Easy Wireless Integration:
  The two-way wireless communication allows for flexible and easy installation without the need for complex wiring.

• Weather Resistant:
  Built to withstand various weather conditions, it is perfect for deployment in areas exposed to the elements.

7. Applications

• Residential:
  Great for protecting gardens, backyards, or other outdoor areas from intruders or unwanted access.

• Commercial:
  Suitable for securing external premises, such as parking lots, perimeter fencing, or storage areas.

• Security Systems:
  Ideal for use in integrated alarm systems for external surveillance, ensuring reliable detection and monitoring.

The XDL12TT3-WE is an excellent choice for adding external motion detection to your security system while benefiting from pet tolerance, dual technology, and wireless integration.
