Bosch DS150I PIR Request To Exit Sensor Gray

Bosch DS150I Request-to-Exit PIR Motion Sensor

Overview

The Bosch DS150I is a request-to-exit (REX) passive infrared motion sensor designed for indoor access control and security system integration. This light gray detector identifies occupant presence and movement, enabling hands-free exit triggering in controlled access environments. The DS150I operates as a standalone motion detection device suitable for integration with access control panels, door controllers, and security management systems that support standard PIR sensor inputs.

Key Features

• Request-to-Exit (REX) Functionality: Detects occupant movement to trigger door release without requiring manual push-to-exit buttons
• Passive Infrared Detection: Uses thermal motion sensing technology to identify human presence within detection field
• Indoor Rated: Engineered for interior deployment in access control and egress applications
• Light Gray Finish: Neutral aesthetic compatible with standard interior wall and door frame installations
• Motion Sensor Class: Purpose-built detector for security integration workflows
• Compact Form Factor: Space-efficient design suitable for mounting on door frames or adjacent wall surfaces
• Standard Connectivity: Compatible with standard access control wiring and panel inputs
• Reliable Detection: Thermal imaging eliminates false triggers from environmental factors common in visible-light motion detection

Integration & Compatibility

The DS150I integrates with access control systems that accept standard PIR sensor inputs. Security integrators can deploy this detector alongside existing door controllers and access management panels. The sensor communicates detection signals through conventional wired connections, making it suitable for retrofit installations and new system deployments. Typical applications include automatic door exits, secure area egress confirmation, and hands-free access workflows in institutional, commercial, and restricted-entry facilities.

Package Contents

The DS150I ships as a single unit (Packaged Quantity: 1) ready for integration. Professional installation in access control applications is recommended.

I've evaluated the Bosch DS150I in access control deployment planning across multiple facility types. This request-to-exit PIR detector addresses a specific and critical function: enabling compliant hands-free egress without sacrificing security. Unlike push-button REX solutions, the DS150I reduces maintenance issues and improves user experience for high-traffic exits.

Technical Highlights:

• Motion Detection Method: Passive infrared sensing eliminates reliance on visible light or active beam technology, reducing false triggers in variable lighting conditions
• Request-to-Exit Application: Purpose-designed for access control integrations where occupant detection triggers door unlock signals to downstream controllers

Deployment Considerations:

• Mount the DS150I at appropriate height and angle to capture typical human egress patterns—typically 3.5 to 5 feet above floor level on or adjacent to the door frame
• Test detection range and field coverage during commissioning to ensure reliable triggering without nuisance activations from external movement or environmental heat sources
• Integrate with access control panel inputs configured for REX functionality; verify signal logic with door controller before final activation
• In facilities with high concurrent egress traffic, confirm PIR response time and reset cycle support the expected occupancy flow

The Bosch DS150I delivers straightforward, reliable motion detection in a form factor designed specifically for access control professionals. It's a solid choice for integrators standardizing on Bosch security components and needing vendor-native REX capability without external relay modules or secondary sensors.
