Two-Stage Microwave Sensor | Dual-Zone Intrusion Detection for Vehicle Alarms

The AVS AVSMICROWAVEDUAL is a sophisticated, two-stage (dual-zone) microwave (radar) sensor designed for intelligent vehicle protection. It creates two distinct detection fields: a warning zone around the vehicle's exterior and an alarm zone inside the interior, allowing for graduated security responses. It is particularly useful for convertibles or situations where windows may be left slightly open while the alarm is armed.

Key Specifications:

• Model: AVSMICROWAVEDUAL

• Sensor Type: Dual-Zone Microwave (Radar)

• Compatibility: Primary: AVS 3010 Alarm Range. Secondary: AVS S-Series & A-Series (requires an extra siren for zone 1 warning).

• Detection Range: Up to 5 meters (adjustable)

• Zones: Zone 1 (Exterior): Detects movement around the vehicle. Zone 2 (Interior): Detects movement inside the cabin.

• Dimensions: 84mm (L) x 53mm (W) x 15mm (D)

Core Function & Intelligent Protection:

• Two-Stage Intrusion Response:

  1. Exterior Warning Zone: Detects someone approaching or lingering near the vehicle. When integrated with a compatible alarm (like the 3010 series), this can trigger a warning chirp from the siren to deter a potential intruder before they touch the car.

  2. Interior Alarm Zone: Detects movement inside the vehicle cabin (e.g., a reach-in break-in). This triggers the full alarm siren.

• Ideal for Open Vehicles: Microwave sensors can "see" through soft tops and detect movement through open windows, making them perfect for convertibles, 4x4s, or vehicles where windows are vented.

• Environmental Stability: Less prone to false alarms from temperature changes or air currents compared to some PIR sensors.

Primary Applications:

• Convertibles & Open-Top Vehicles: Providing volumetric protection where there is no solid roof.

• Enhanced Perimeter Security: Adding a warning layer to deter thieves before they make contact with the vehicle.

• Vented Window Security: Allowing windows to be left slightly open for ventilation while maintaining security.

Installation & Compatibility Notes:

• Professional Installation Required: Precise mounting, alignment, and programming of sensitivity and zone boundaries are critical. Must be installed by a qualified auto-security technician.

• Critical Compatibility Warning:

  • For AVS 3010 Series: This sensor integrates directly, allowing both warning chirps and full alarm triggers.

  • For AVS S-Series & A-Series: You must add an extra siren to utilize the Zone 1 warning function. The main alarm system may only be able to trigger the full alarm (Zone 2) from this sensor.
