DS150i
The DS150i is a passive infrared (PIR) motion detector with a design for use in automatic door systems, specifically for activating and controlling the opening of doors. It is commonly for commercial settings like offices, stores, and industrial sites.
KEY FEATURES
- Passive Infrared Detection: Detects changes in infrared radiation to sense motion, which triggers the automatic door system.
- Adjustable Detection Area: The detection pattern can adjust to fit the required area, improving accuracy and efficiency.
- Compact Design: It is small and discreet, making installing and integrating into different environments easy.
- Weather Resistance: Designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
This model is known for its reliability and versatility, making it a popular choice for managing access points.
HOW IT WORKS?
The BOSCH DS150i operates using Passive Infrared (PIR) technology for access control motion sensor, which detects motion by sensing changes in infrared radiation (heat) within its detection zone. Here’s how it works in detail:
- The sensor has a PIR element that detects infrared energy emitted by objects, especially humans.
- It monitors the temperature in its detection area. When a person (or any warm object) moves across this area, the infrared energy changes, triggering the sensor.
When the sensor detects movement within its coverage zone, it sends a signal to the automatic door system. This signal activates the door’s motor, causing it to open.
- The detection area or pattern adjusts to focus on specific zones. This helps prevent false triggers from non-target areas, improving precision.
- The sensor may also allow vertical or horizontal adjustments, helping to ensure that it effectively covers the desired region.
Once the door opens and the person passes through, the sensor detects no more movement, and the door closes. The sensor then resets itself, ready for the subsequent activation.
The DS150i design is to handle various environmental conditions. It can be set to ignore specific background heat sources, such as sunlight or HVAC vents, minimizing false alarms in access control motion sensor.
This system ensures reliable operation, providing a seamless and energy-efficient solution for controlling automatic door systems.
BENEFITS
Versatile Installation & Coverage
- Dual Mounting Options: Can be surface-mounted on either a wall or ceiling, providing flexibility for different architectural layouts.
- Internal Vertical Pointability: The internal sensor can be tilted vertically to target a specific area, ensuring the detection zone is precisely where it’s needed.
- Wrap-Around Coverage: The pattern is designed to “wrap around” the door area, ensuring it catches motion even from sharp angles, which is ideal for both single and double door configurations.
- Masking Capabilities: Includes masking inserts to block out specific zones, preventing accidental triggers from nearby hallway traffic or inanimate moving objects.
Customizable Operational Logic
- Selectable Relay Modes:
Resettable (Accumulative): Restarts the timer with every new detection, keeping the door unlocked as long as someone is in the zone.
Non-Resettable (Counting): Triggers once for a set duration regardless of further motion, which is useful for strict timing requirements.
- Adjustable Latch Time: The relay output can be set to stay active for any duration from 0.5 to 64 seconds.
- Fail-Safe/Fail-Secure Modes: You can program how the relay behaves during a power loss, ensuring the building remains secure or allows free passage according to local fire and safety codes
Reliability & Security
- RFI Immunity: Built to resist interference from radio frequencies (26 MHz to 1000 MHz), preventing “phantom” triggers from mobile phones or other wireless devices.
- High-Impact Housing: The enclosure is made of high-impact ABS plastic, making it durable for high-traffic commercial environments.
- Dual Form C Relays: Provides two sets of contacts, allowing it to trigger the door lock and a secondary device (like a camera or alarm) simultaneously.

APPLICATIONS
The BOSCH DS150i motion detector has a wide range of applications, especially where motion-triggered automatic door systems are needed. Below are some everyday use cases:
Automatic Door Control
The DS150i design primarily activates automatic doors like sliding or swinging. Additionally, when someone approaches, the sensor detects motion and signals the door to open.
Access Systems Devices
It is use as part of a broader access system devices to manage building entrances and exits. Besides, the sensor can connect with security systems to ensure doors only open when motion is detected in certain areas.
Hands-Free Entry
Hands-free door activation is critical to maintaining hygiene and convenience in hospitals, cleanrooms, or laboratories. Basically, the DS150i ensures doors open without physical contact, enhancing cleanliness and reducing contamination risks.
Industrial and Commercial Facilities
Warehouses and manufacturing plants benefit from automatic doors that open when workers approach with heavy equipment or materials. Certainly, the DS150i allows for smooth traffic flow and improved efficiency in busy environments.
Elderly and Disabled Access
The sensor automates door entry, helping elderly and disabled individuals gain easier access, particularly in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers.
Energy Efficiency in Buildings
The DS150i helps optimize energy efficiency by ensuring doors are only open when needed, reducing heating or cooling losses in temperature-controlled environments like offices, shopping centers, and medical facilities.
Security Zones
It can use in secure areas where you want doors to open only when someone enters a designated space. Also, the sensor ensures controlled access to restricted zones, working alongside surveillance systems.
