ABUS BW8070 Xevox Pet Motion Detector

The ABUS BW8070 Xevox Pet Motion Detector is a motion sensor with one PIR sensor that reacts to heat movement and reports it to the alarm centre. The Xevox Pet motion detector is an animal-immune motion sensor, meaning it can tell the difference between persons and small animals such as pets.

Whereas people moving in the room are reliably detected, the sensor ignores pets up to 30kg in its monitoring. Despite the words "pet immune to 30kg", it is possible that animals with a lower weight trigger the detector. The risk of false triggering is particularly high when the animal moves, jumps, or flies in the vicinity of the detector. The best place to install the equipment is in a corner, between 2.4 and 2.7m above the floor.

The intruder's possible direction of movement should be at right-angles to the sensor. Unsuitable for installation are all places opposite to sources of heat (e.g.: heating) or a window (sunshine). Do not install the motion sensor near to electric cables, gas lines, or electronic equipment that generate heat during long periods of operation. The viewing angle of Xevox Pet motion detector sensors is 90°, and the detection range – depending on installation height – up to 12 x 12m. You can vary their sensitivity by means of a jumper - in this way, you can define the number of pulses that have to be detected before the sensor opens the alarm relay.
