u 15.2 m x 15.2 m (50 ft x 50 ft) coverage

The EN1260 PIR Motion Sensor‑Transmitter is
appropriate for commercial and high‑end domestic
applications, providing the most cost-effective solution
for reducing installation expenses. The rounded cover
blends into the environment and is suitable for
different installation design needs. It also offers a
variable sleep time to extend the battery life in high­traffic applications. It is equipped with an integrated
sensor to meet the needs of every indoor installation.
Advanced signal processing recognizes human
signature size and movement, reducing false alarms.
Advanced microprocessor technology provides
excellent catch performance.

System overview

Powered by Inovonics

The Inovonics EchoStream platform, powered by
Inovonics wireless mesh network technology, ensures
superior range, reliability, and scalability for
commercial applications. Using a wide range of
transmitters and repeaters, this proven technology

u Automatic supervision of radio link

u Low power consumption

u Highly sensitive to moving infrared radiation

u Immunity to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI),

vibration, static, lightning, and ambient temperature
changes

provides flexibility and performance to meet the most
stringent requirements. This exclusive protocol is
available only on Inovonics EchoStream products.

Wireless 900 MHz Band

The Inovonics EchoStream platform sends redundant
information on several multi-frequency channels within
the FCC Part 15 900 MHz band, providing superior
range and reliability. In comparison, systems that use a
single frequency technology can only send information
on one narrow band channel. Any interference within
the band can cause missed signals. With wireless
registration, it is easy to add this technology to any
application.

Functions

Battery Sleep Time

Designed specifically for wireless applications, this PIR
has a 180 sec fixed or variable sleep time. When the
variable sleep time is chosen, it has the intelligence to
remain in sleep mode beyond 180 sec during
high‑traffic periods to provide extended battery life.

Supervision

The cover tamper and battery activity are supervised.
Monitoring helps ensure reliable operation.

Wall and Cover Tampers

The optional wall tamper switch provides increased
security and is ideal for high‑end residential
applications. The wall tamper switch notifies the
