Bosch Alarm Motion Detectors

• ISC-BPR2-W12 Standard PIR – 12m × 12m coverage for general indoor motion detection; not a pet-friendly model
• ISC-BPQ2-W12 Quad PIR – 12m × 12m coverage with quad-element PIR detection; not a pet-friendly model
• ISC-BDL2-WP12G TriTech – 12m × 12m PIR and microwave detection with pet immunity specified up to 45kg when installed according to the product requirements

TriTech technology can improve detection confidence, but it does not remove the need for correct placement, sensitivity settings and professional testing.

Hard-wired detectors connect to compatible alarm-zone inputs using alarm cable. The installer must confirm operating voltage, zone wiring, end-of-line resistor configuration, panel programming and available power.

Bosch RADION wireless detectors require a compatible Bosch receiver and supported alarm-panel configuration. Wireless compatibility should never be assumed from the Bosch brand alone.

• RFPR-12 – RADION wireless indoor PIR motion detector
• RFDL-11 – RADION wireless TriTech motion detector with pet-friendly capability according to its specified installation requirements

Check the detector, receiver and alarm-panel model together before purchasing.

Pet-friendly performance is model-dependent. Always check the detector’s stated pet-immunity rating rather than assuming every PIR, Quad or TriTech detector is suitable for animals.

• Install the detector at the specified mounting height and angle.
• Avoid aiming it towards furniture, stairs or shelves that pets can climb.
• Consider the pet’s combined weight, height, movement and access to elevated surfaces.
• Keep the detection area away from heaters, direct sunlight, moving curtains and other common false-alarm sources.
• Have the completed installation walk-tested with the property’s normal conditions considered.

Specialised Bosch detectors are available for spaces where a standard wall-mounted PIR may not provide the required coverage or environmental performance.

• Panoramic ceiling detectors – Provide wide coverage from a central ceiling position; confirm mounting height and pattern for each model
• Outdoor TriTech detectors – Designed for appropriate outdoor or harsh-environment applications, with careful aiming required to reduce nuisance alarms
• Professional Series PIR and TriTech – Suitable for larger or more demanding commercial spaces
• Anti-mask detectors – Provide additional protection against attempts to obstruct or cover the detector where supported

Coverage dimensions, mounting height and environmental ratings vary. Use the individual datasheet rather than selecting solely by appearance or price.

This collection also contains selected Bosch detection and testing products that are not conventional room-motion detectors:

• Smoke detectors – Detect compatible fire or smoke conditions rather than movement
• Glass-break detectors – Listen for the acoustic pattern of breaking glass
• Shock and seismic sensors – Detect impact or vibration on protected structures, safes or surfaces
• Request-to-exit detectors – Detect movement at a controlled doorway for an access-control exit function
• Glass-break testers – Installation and testing tools, not alarm-detection devices

Review the product purpose and compatibility carefully before adding any of these devices to an alarm or access-control system.
