BALERT-W Wireless Reflector Beam Entry Alert Door Chime by Seco-Larm

What is a Wireless Break Beam Sensor Alert Kit?

The BALERT entrance alert kit has been around for as long as I can remember. It’s a top-rated product because it’s a simple but effective way to monitor a door or hallway. In many cases, customers who liked the functionality of the BALERT didn’t purchase the product because it was wired…from the emitter box to the speaker.

Now, we have a wireless version of the BALERT, the BALERT-W (“W” for Wireless) is the Seco-Larm E-931CS22RFCQ. You get the same reliability as the photo beam reflector-based product with the added benefit of a wireless transmission from the emitter to the speaker.

Here’s how this break beam sensor-based kit works:

The BALERT-W is the Seco-Larm E-931CS22RFCQ. The kit comes with three (3) main components: a sensor that emits an invisible beam to a reflector, a reflector, and a wireless speaker.  To understand how the product works, we will use a typical doorway as the area we want to monitor.  On one side of the door, we will mount the wireless sensor (plugs into a standard wall outlet); on the other side, we will mount the reflector.  The sensor will send an invisible beam to the reflector.  The system is silent as long as that beam is reflected in the sensor.  When that beam is broken, which means the beam has not reflected the sensor, the sensor is triggered, and it then sends a wireless signal to the speaker (the speaker plugs into a standard wall outlet).

Break Beam Kit Features:

• Waterproof reflective sensor (transmitter)
• Wireless Speaker
• Reflector
• Two power adapters (one for the sensor, one for the speaker)
• Three mounting brackets
• An optional Wall Mount Bracket is available for separate purchase

Here’s what’s in the BALERT-W (Seco-Larm E-931CS22RFCQ) Kit:

• The maximum distance from the sensor to the reflector is 22 ft.
• The wireless range, from the sensor to the speaker, is “up to” 328 ft. (100 m).  Please note this is a line-of-sight range.  Building materials will interfere and possibly reduce the range.
• Included plug-in transformers power the speaker and sensor
• Adjustable volume on speaker up to 90 dB
• Sensor and reflector are outdoor rated 32 F – 122 F
• The sensor can pair with an unlimited number of speakers
• The speaker can pair with up to 5 sensors
• The speaker will make a chime or ALARM sound
• The alarm output duration is 3-30 seconds

We would also recommend two other choices:

• The ERA-PIR-SPK kit is a passive infrared sensor typically mounted over the door.  When a visitor passes through the zone, the speaker inside the sensor plays a chime sound.
• The EZ CHIME – a purely mechanical entrance alert.
