Wired motion detector Bosch DS160 for ceiling/wall mounting, white, 12 V, 26–1000 MHz

Bosch DS160 is a wired motion detector intended for ceiling or wall mounting. It operates from a 12 V supply and covers an operating frequency range of 26–1000 MHz. The detector is designed for intrusion and presence detection in commercial and residential installations and features internal vertical pointability and a wrap-around coverage pattern for precise pattern control. Typical current consumption is 39 mA with a standby current of 8 mA. The compact white housing measures 45 × 171 × 44 mm and is built to integrate with wired access-control and alarm systems.

Advantages

The DS160 provides adjustable detection coverage with internal vertical pointability and a controlled wrap-around pattern to reduce false alarms while maintaining reliable detection. It includes a door monitor with sounder alert and timers, and offers up to 64 seconds of adjustable latch time for flexible signal duration. Sequential Logic Input (SLI) enhances security for request-to-exit scenarios. Low standby and typical current consumption make the detector suitable for continuous operation in wired systems.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and interior intrusion detection in commercial buildings
• Request-to-exit (REX) applications at controlled doors
• Presence detection and corridor monitoring in offices and residential corridors
• Integration with wired alarm and access-control panels

How to use

Install the detector on a suitable ceiling or wall surface following the mounting instructions of the wired security system. Connect the 12 V power supply and required signal wiring to the alarm or access-control panel terminals. Adjust vertical pointing to align the coverage pattern with the monitored area and set the latch time as required for the application. Configure door monitor and SLI functions if used for request-to-exit or door-monitoring scenarios. Verify coverage and sensitivity through a walk-test and adjust settings to minimize false alarms.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, mount the DS160 at recommended heights and avoid aiming the coverage toward HVAC vents or moving objects that can cause nuisance triggers. Use the internal vertical pointability and adjustable latch time to tailor detection to specific doorways or corridors. Perform periodic tests and maintenance as part of the building’s security routine.
