Overview
PIRAMID XL-MW Outdoor Intrusion Sensors
The PIRAMID XL-MW outdoor models are advanced single-technology microwave intrusion sensors, purpose-built for high-security applications or environments where single-technology detection is required. These sensors incorporate PROTECH’s proprietary antenna using Stereo Doppler Microwave Technology, ensuring precise detection and consistent performance.
The PIRAMID XL series utilizes volumetric detection, leveraging a specialized microwave design that detects motion through changes in the volumetric field as an intruder moves through the detection zone. This technology enables accurate identification of intrusions while minimizing false alarms.
Engineered for reliability in extreme environmental conditions, PIRAMID XL sensors feature advanced signal processing that provides immunity to non-threatening motion sources such as vibration, moving vegetation, and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, specialized filtering enhances resistance to interference from birds and small animals, ensuring dependable performance in outdoor settings.
The PIRAMID XL-MW offers enhanced detection capability for slow moving, fast moving, and crawling intruders. The PIRAMID XL-MW outdoor sensors can be used in various high security applications such as military bases, correctional facilities and nuclear power plants where the highest level of security is required. The PIRAMID XL-MW offers a very high PD (probability of detection) of greater than 0.95 yet, provides a very low NAR/FAR (Nuisance Alarm Rate/False Alarm Rate).
The “MW-VD” Version of PIRAMID is an outdoor single technology Stereo Doppler Microwave
sensor specifically designed to detect vehicles. The MW-VD Vehicular Detector comes in
both a wide and narrow protection pattern and will detect vehicles (cars) at distances of
approximately 100 ft. at 40 mph.
The “MW-DIR” version of PIRAMID is an outdoor single technology Stereo Doppler Microwave sensor specifically designed to detect pedestrians and intruders. The MW-DIR comes in both a wide angle (50 ft. x 50 ft.) and narrow angle (100 ft. x 60 ft.) protection pattern coverage.

Must be installed on a wall or solid pole. If installed on a building with a metal surface, support must be vibration resistant.
Not recommended for installation on surfaces exposed to strong vibrations.
Position detector so coverage stops on the ground in the target protection area. NOTE: the device can detect a large object (car/bus) at a distance of- 150 meters (492 feet).
Do not install the detector under eaves without a gutter. Heavy water flow- in front of the detector can trigger unwanted alarms.
PIRAMID XL sensors offer highly reliable volumetric protection over a wide variety of extreme environmental conditions. Advanced signal processing the technology provides immunity to randomly moving targets such as vibration, moving vegetation and temperature variations. Special filtering enables exceptional immunity to birds and small animals. The microwave technology detects the motion of the intruder by detecting volumetric changes of the object in the field of detection.
- Stereo Doppler Microwave Sensor: Two receiving channels with the ability to eliminate vibration and periodically moving objects as sources of false alarms.
- Balanced Temperature Compensation: Stereo Doppler Microwave and Passive Infrared portions automatically adjust detection parameters to compensate for losses in range that occur at elevated temperatures.
- Stereo Doppler Supervision: A component failure will cause the sensor to lock -in alarm.
- Digital Range Control: Ten-position digital switch adjusts how far the sensor detects (to its maximum range).
- Digital Sensitivity Control: Ten-position digital switch adjusts the amount of movement required to initiate an alarm condition.
- Master Alarm LEDs: Displayed on the face of the unit indicating the alarm relay status.
- Analytic LEDs: Alarm and environmental caution LEDs for both technologies are displayed on the face of the sensor. An internal switch can disable both Master and Analytic LEDs.
- Walk-Test Minisounder: Audible tester to assist in walk-test and initial sensor set-up. The walk test XL-minisounder greatly simplifies the installation as it enables walk-testing and adjustment by a single installer.
- Metal Housing: Rugged and durable; offers maximum protection against RFI and EMI interference.
- Weather Shroud: Metal hood provides maximum protection from rain, snow, wind, and sun loading.
- Swivel Mounting: 180 degree Horizontal Adjustment 90 degree Vertical Adjustment.
- Tamper Proof: Tamper switch with terminal connection.
- All Solid State Relay: User selectable form C relay output. A solid state relay is flexible, silent and more reliable than an electromechanical relay
