This radio entry detector produces a loud audible signal when a person enters the monitored area. Power is supplied to the transmitter with the PIR sensor via the provided mains power adaptor or via 4 AA batteries. The receiver unit simply requires a mains wall socket & your entry system is ready for use. A volume control is used to set the required volume level at the receiver, or turn the sound completely off. In addition, the receiver contains an integrated signal lamp to ensure you do not miss a thing.
