The driveway detector PIR + Light barrier combination set PLUS is a professional wireless detection system that combines line monitoring via an infrared light barrier with targeted motion detection via a solar panel-powered PIR sensor. This combination provides an extra layer of security and is often chosen as a driveway alarm without WiFi, perimeter security or double site surveillance.
Where a light barrier monitors a fixed passage, the PIR sensor detects movement within a specific zone. Combining both techniques creates maximum reliability, especially in longer driveways, larger yards or situations where vehicles enter at varying speeds.
How does the PIR + Light barrier combination set work?
The light barrier consists of two beam units that send two invisible infrared beams to each other. As soon as both beams are interrupted simultaneously, a wireless signal is immediately sent to the receiver. The PIR sensor detects movement up to 15 meters within a narrow detection angle of 15 degrees and also sends a notification to the same receiver.
The indoor receiver then gives an adjustable audible message. This means you know immediately when someone drives into the driveway or enters a secured zone.
Why choose a combination of PIR and light barrier?
The power of this set lies in the combination of two detection techniques. The light barrier monitors a fixed passage line and is very accurate in normal passage situations. The PIR sensor acts as an extra detection layer and can detect faster-moving vehicles or people earlier in some situations.
As a result, this model is often used as a fail-safe solution for longer driveways or in situations where maximum security is desired. Consider industrial estates, farms, shared access roads or homes with multiple access points.
Flexible placement of the sensors
An important advantage of this combination set is that you can also use the sensors separately. Commonly used applications are:
– Light barrier at the driveway, PIR sensor at the backyard or side entrance
– PIR at the front as early detection, light barrier further down as passage control
– Light barrier at gate, PIR aimed at courtyard
– Double detection at company premises or warehouse
This way you create multiple security zones within one PLUS system.
Self-sufficient thanks to solar panel
Both the PIR sensor and the beam units have a built-in battery with solar panel. In practice, it appears that the battery lasts a long time, even with little sunlight in the Netherlands and Belgium. Power consumption is low and charging takes place in daylight.
For optimal safety, we recommend fully charging once in the autumn with the supplied adapter according to the manual. The system then runs entirely on battery power, even during longer periods with little sun.
Detection range and performance
The PIR sensor detects up to 15 meters within a narrow 15 degree angle, helping to reduce false alarms due to lateral movement. The wireless range of the PIR sensor is up to 200 meters in an open field.
The IR beams may be placed up to 60 meters apart, with a wireless range of up to 400 meters to the receiver. This combination makes the system suitable for both standard driveways and larger areas.
Installation in practice
The beam units are placed directly opposite each other for optimal alignment. The PIR sensor is mounted in a targeted manner in the desired detection direction. Thanks to the narrow detection angle, you can monitor a zone in a very targeted manner.
Installation tips:
– Place the light barrier at a point where vehicles or people must always pass
– Point the PIR sensor in the desired direction of travel for early detection
– Avoid moving vegetation in the detection field
– Test both sensors separately after installation
Expandable PLUS system
The included receiver supports up to 32 sensors within the PLUS series. So you can add multiple light barriers, PIR detectors or other sensors. Volume and melody of the receiver are adjustable and multiple receivers are possible within one system.

Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of a combination of PIR and light barrier?
The light barrier monitors a fixed passage, while the PIR sensor detects movement within a targeted zone. This creates double detection. This increases reliability and provides extra security for larger sites or longer driveways.
Which sensor detects first?
That depends on the placement. When the PIR sensor is mounted at the front, it can detect movement before the light barrier is reached. In other setups the light barrier can function as a primary detection.
Is this system suitable for higher vehicle speeds?
Yes, the PIR sensor can detect faster moving vehicles earlier in some situations. This makes the combination work as extra security in addition to the light barrier. This makes the system suitable for longer driveways or access roads.
Does this system work without WiFi?
Yes, the system works completely standalone without WiFi or internet connection. The sensors communicate directly wirelessly with the receiver.
How often should I charge the sensors?
Thanks to the integrated solar panels, the sensors automatically charge themselves. Occasional manual charging is only necessary in prolonged shade or little daylight, usually once a year.
