Hills Reliance 80 Plus Pet-Immune Two-Way Wireless PIR Detector
The Hills Reliance RF-EV1012PI-K4 is a two-way wireless PIR motion detector designed for compatible 433 MHz 80 Plus alarm systems. It provides up to 12 metres of indoor detection coverage and uses proven optical mirror technology to create a dense volumetric pattern from floor level to the detector’s mounting height.
Its pet-immune optical design helps distinguish human movement from suitable pets moving at floor level, while 5D signal processing and dual-element pyro detection support reliable alarm performance.
Best For
Compatible Hills Reliance XR and XRPro installations requiring a pet-immune wireless detector where running new alarm cable would be difficult or disruptive.
Compatibility is essential: this detector uses 433 MHz 80 Plus two-way wireless technology. The alarm system must have compatible 80 Plus wireless capability and must be correctly enrolled and programmed. It is not a universal replacement for older 60-bit or unrelated wireless detectors.

Pet-Immune Detection
The specialised PI optical mirror is designed to ignore suitable pets moving at floor level without compromising human detection. Correct positioning remains essential, particularly in rooms where pets can climb onto furniture, stairs or other elevated surfaces.
Pet immunity does not guarantee that every animal movement will be ignored. Pet size, movement, room layout, mounting position and environmental conditions can all affect performance.
Two-Way 80 Plus Wireless Technology
Two-way communication allows the detector and compatible alarm system to exchange wireless information rather than relying on a one-way transmission. The detector must be enrolled into a supported 80 Plus receiver or compatible control panel before use.
This is a battery-powered wireless detector. It does not require alarm-zone cabling, but it still requires secure mounting, correct programming, signal testing and periodic battery replacement.
What Is Included?
- 1 × Hills Reliance RF-EV1012PI-K4 wireless PIR detector
A compatible 80 Plus alarm panel or receiver, codepad, mounting accessories, smartphone service and other system components are not included unless specifically shown or stated separately. Confirm the supplied battery and any bracket requirements before installation.
Alarm System Compatibility
The RF-EV1012PI-K4 is intended for selected Hills Reliance XR and XRPro alarm systems with compatible 433 MHz 80 Plus wireless capability.
Confirm the panel model, receiver technology, firmware and available wireless zones before ordering. This detector is not hard-wired and does not connect directly to Wi-Fi or the UltraSync+ app. Smartphone control depends on the compatible alarm panel and its internet configuration.
Battery Life and Maintenance
The detector is designed to provide up to five years of operation from one battery. Actual battery life varies according to activity levels, signal strength, operating temperature, testing frequency and battery quality.
Replace the battery with the manufacturer-specified type and complete a detector and wireless-signal test after replacement. Low-battery conditions should be attended to promptly.
Installation Guidance
Install the detector indoors with a clear view across the protected area. Avoid positions near heaters, air-conditioning outlets, direct sunlight, moving curtains or other sources that may affect PIR performance.
The detector must be enrolled, assigned to the correct zone, securely mounted and walk-tested. Wireless signal strength should also be checked at the final mounting location before installation is completed.
