Motion detector DSC PGP8914 PIR motion sensor, model 62202

DSC PGP8914 PIR motion sensor model 62202 is a passive infrared detector engineered for intrusion detection within alarm systems. The sensor detects changes in infrared radiation caused by body heat and movement, providing reliable monitoring for both perimeter and interior areas. Designed for integration with compatible DSC alarm panels, it supports residential and commercial installations where motion-triggered alerts are required.

Advantages

The PIR detector offers stable passive infrared sensing that reduces false alarms from small environmental changes. Its design enables straightforward connection to DSC control panels and consistent detection of human presence across typical room and corridor environments. Compact form factor and proven detection method make it suitable for common security deployments while maintaining compatibility with industry-standard alarm system architectures.

Suitable for

• Indoor intrusion detection in homes and apartments
• Commercial premises such as offices, retail spaces and storage rooms
• Perimeter monitoring of hallways, corridors and stairwells inside buildings
• Integration with DSC alarm panels for centralized alarm management

Key specifications

• Detection technology: Passive Infrared (PIR) for body heat and movement detection
• Coverage: Designed for typical indoor coverage patterns suitable for rooms and corridors
• Compatibility: Intended for integration with DSC alarm control panels
• Mounting: Surface or corner mounting options depending on installation requirements
• Power: Low-voltage alarm system power supply (provided by the alarm panel)

How to use

Mount the detector at the recommended height and orientation for the area to be monitored, avoiding direct exposure to heating vents, windows with strong sunlight, or sources of rapid temperature change. Connect the sensor wiring to the corresponding inputs on the DSC alarm panel following the panel manufacturer’s installation guidelines and local electrical regulations. After installation, program the control panel to recognize the detector and perform walk-test procedures to confirm coverage and correct alarm signaling.

Usage recommendations

Position the motion sensor to face the main approach paths and maintain clear line of sight for best detection. Periodically verify mounting stability and test the sensor during routine alarm system maintenance to ensure reliable operation. Avoid placing the detector near HVAC outlets, open windows with frequent drafts, or moving objects that could trigger false detections.
