The Hikvision DS-PM1-I1-WB is a compact wireless input transmitter designed to bring traditional wired detectors into the AX PRO wireless alarm ecosystem. It provides one alarm input, one tamper input, a programmable output (PGM), and a built-in 3.3 V power supply for low-current wired sensors. This allows installers to upgrade older systems or integrate specialised wired detectors without running new cabling or replacing existing hardware.

Using secure two-way Tri-X wireless technology, the DS-PM1-I1-WB delivers strong, reliable communication with long-range performance, even across large properties. The onboard LED indicators clearly show signal strength and device status, making commissioning simple and installer-friendly. With up to five years of battery life from three CR123 batteries, ongoing maintenance is minimal.

The unit’s slim, lightweight design allows it to be mounted directly inside most wired detector housings or next to a wired device. Tamper detection ensures that any attempt to open or remove the transmitter is immediately reported to the panel, maintaining full system integrity.

Designed for professional-grade wireless alarm installations, the DS-PM1-I1-WB gives installers a flexible solution to integrate legacy wired PIRs, reed switches, vibration sensors, industrial contacts, and more — all while maintaining seamless compatibility within the AX PRO platform.

Installer Notes

Mounting location: Install the DS-PM1-I1-WB inside the housing of the wired detector (PIR, reed switch, or specialty sensor) or directly beside it. Ensure the antenna is not pressed against metal surfaces.
RF performance: For best wireless performance, position the transmitter where it has a clear path back to the AX PRO panel. Avoid thick concrete walls, metal doors, or electrical switchboards directly in front of the unit.
Powering wired sensors: The built-in 3.3 V output is suitable for very low-power wired sensors only (up to approx. 10 mA). For higher-current devices, use the detector’s original power supply instead.
Battery choice: Use high-quality CR123 lithium batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Typical battery life is up to 5 years depending on activity level.
Zone labelling: Clearly label the zone in the AX PRO panel (e.g., “Garage PIR – Wireless Converter”) so future technicians understand it is a wired-to-wireless conversion.
Tamper protection: Ensure the tamper switch or tamper input is functioning correctly. Removing the cover or device should trigger a tamper alert.
PGM Output: The programmable output can be used for driving small indicators, relays, or automation triggers. Ensure load requirements are within spec.
Commissioning: Test the alarm input, tamper, wireless signal strength, and reporting back to the panel before closing the installation.
Maintenance: Recommend the end-user tests the zone periodically and performs battery changes before low-battery warnings escalate to faults.

Use Cases

1. Convert Existing Wired PIRs to AX PRO

Older alarm systems often have working wired PIRs installed. Instead of replacing them, install the DS-PM1-I1-WB to instantly bring them into the AX PRO wireless platform.

2. Add a Sensor in a Hard-to-Cable Area

For locations like attics, sheds, or garages where running cable is difficult, install a standard wired reed switch or vibration sensor and convert it wirelessly with the transmitter.

3. Rooming House Installations

Ideal for rooming houses where each room needs a door or window sensor but running new cables is impractical. Easily integrate wired reed switches in each room into the AX PRO panel.

4. Commercial Roller Door Contacts

Large industrial doors often use heavy-duty wired roller door contacts. The transmitter allows you to integrate these contacts wirelessly without hardwiring back to a central panel.

5. Temporary or Portable Alarm Zones

Use the DS-PM1-I1-WB to set up temporary alarm points on construction sites, storage containers, or pop-up retail spaces where cabling is not feasible.

6. Specialty Sensors

Integrate shock sensors, pressure pads, hold-up buttons, or custom dry-contact devices into a fully wireless AX PRO system through the single-input transmitter.

FAQs

Q: What types of wired sensors can be connected?
Any low-current dry-contact detector such as PIRs, reed switches, vibration sensors, roller door contacts, or panic buttons.

Q: Does it have tamper protection?
Yes, it supports tamper monitoring so the panel will alert if someone removes or opens the device.

Q: How far can it communicate with the AX PRO panel?
The wireless range is very long in open air, but indoors it depends on walls and structure. Typical installations achieve strong coverage across most homes and small commercial sites.

Q: Can it power the connected wired detector?
Yes, it provides a small 3.3 V output for low-power sensors. Higher-powered sensors should use an external power supply.

Q: What batteries does it use and how long do they last?
It uses CR123 lithium cells. Battery life can reach up to 5 years depending on zone activity and wireless signal conditions.

Q: Does it support programmable outputs (PGM)?
Yes, it includes one PGM output that can be assigned to functions such as indicator lights, automation triggers, or small relays.

Q: Is it suitable for business or commercial installations?
Yes. It is commonly used in retail stores, warehouses, rooming houses, offices, and industrial sites where wiring is difficult or existing wired devices need migration to AX PRO.
