Passive Infrared Sensor iGET P17

The iGET P17 is a wireless passive infrared (PIR) sensor intended for indoor motion detection. Designed for battery operation, this compact white detector communicates on the 433 MHz frequency and combines low power consumption with a minimal standby current to support long battery life. The device is crafted for straightforward installation in homes, offices, and other indoor spaces where unobtrusive presence detection is required to enhance security and automation.

Advantages

The iGET P17 offers reliable passive infrared detection with low operational current and very low standby drain, which helps extend battery life and reduce maintenance. Its wireless design eliminates the need for wiring, enabling flexible placement and quick installation. Operating on a common 433 MHz frequency ensures compatibility with many wireless control systems and receivers used for alarm and automation setups. The white casing and compact footprint make the sensor visually discreet when mounted on walls or ceilings.

Suitable for

• Home security systems for detecting movement in hallways, living rooms, and entryways
• Office spaces where wireless motion sensing is needed for alarm or automation
• Rental properties and temporary sites requiring non-invasive installation
• Integration with wireless alarm panels and smart home receivers operating at 433 MHz

How to use

Mount the sensor on a wall or ceiling at the recommended height and orientation for optimal coverage of the monitored area. Insert the battery according to the polarity markings and perform any required pairing process with your alarm panel or receiver that supports 433 MHz devices. After installation, test the sensor by walking through the coverage area to verify detection and confirm that signals are received by the control unit. Place the unit away from direct heat sources, air vents, or windows to minimize false triggers.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use a fresh battery from a reputable brand and check sensor alignment during routine maintenance. Avoid mounting the PIR sensor opposite large heat-radiating surfaces or in locations with rapid temperature changes. Periodically test the sensor within your security or automation system and replace the battery when detection performance declines.
