Product Description
The Bosch DS160 is a top-of-the-line request-to-exit motion sensor sounder in light gray. The DS160 Series includes two advanced detectors crafted to meet the strict needs of Request-to-Exit (REX) applications. These detectors offer high performance in security and access control systems. They come with adjustable timers, door monitoring with sounder alerts, and pointable coverage, providing great flexibility for diverse security requirements. Their seamless integration with modern systems makes them a reliable option for ensuring secure exits and smooth operations.
A standout feature is the Sequential Logic Input (SLI), which adds extra security. It ensures that only sequential detection from two connected devices can trigger an alarm, preventing false alarms from objects slid under or through the door. The detectors also have a keycard input for control via external systems like access control or card readers. The sounder alert system can be programmed to activate when the door stays open too long, and its volume is adjustable up to 85 dB for clear, customizable notifications.
Equipped with a door monitor, the sensor can react based on the door's status. If the door opens within the defined relay time, the timer can be paused for accurate monitoring. The DS160 and DS161 offer selectable relay trigger modes and fail-safe/fail-secure modes, allowing flexible system responses in different scenarios. Their robust features make them meet the highest standards for security and performance in various settings.

Using the Bosch DS160 motion sensor sounder is quite straightforward. First, install it in a suitable location near the exit door. Make sure to follow the recommended environmental operating temperature range, which is -29°C to +49°C (-20°F to +120°F), or 0°C to +49°C (+32°F to +120°F) for UL Certificated installations.
You can customize the settings according to your needs. Adjust the timer for different detection timings, up to 64 seconds. Set the sounder volume from 0 to 85 dB to ensure clear notifications. Choose the relay trigger mode and fail-safe or fail-secure modes based on your security requirements.
When using the keycard input, connect it to your access control or card reader system. The sequential logic input adds an extra layer of security, so ensure your connected devices are properly configured.
Here are some important things to keep in mind. Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme environmental conditions outside the specified range. Also, make sure to keep it away from sources of strong radio frequency interference.
For maintenance, regularly check the sensor for any physical damage. Clean the enclosure with a soft, dry cloth. If you encounter any issues, refer to the technical specifications or contact Bosch support.
