Dakota Alert 4000 Break Beam Photo Sensor Alert Kit

Break Beam Photo Sensor Alert Kit

The Break Beam Sensor Kit consists of a solar powered wireless infrared break beam sensor and a receiver. The sensor is simple to install and requires no wiring. The break beam sensors are powered by built in lithium ion batteries that are recharged through the solar panels during the day. Because the unit is self-powered, there is no need to run wires for power. Installation time can be as little as a few minutes. The infrared sensing terminals can be mounted up to 30092 apart and will send a signal back to the receiver up to 1 mile away (actual range will vary depending on the local terrain) anytime someone passes between the sensors.

The break beam sensor is a point-to-point sensor and will not be activated by any motion outside of the monitored beam. The sensors are not affected by small objects such as falling leaves or birds. It can be mounted high enough to avoid dogs and other animals but it will detect any intruder walking through the beam area. Multiple sensor pairs can be used to send a signal to one receiver if you wish to set up a perimeter.
