2GIG E+ Passive Infrared Motion Detector

An extended-range, two-way encrypted PIR built for large homes and light commercial sites. The PIR1E-900 covers 30 ft × 50 ft with pet immunity up to 85 lb, communicates on the 900 MHz E+ platform with up to ~1.2 miles open-air range, and runs on a single CR123A battery (about 3-year life).

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems


  • Dialed-in placement & tuning: we mount at the recommended ~7.5 ft height, aim the sensor, and set sensitivity/pet-immunity to cut false trips.

  • Extended-range RF design: we survey your property to leverage the E+ platform’s 900 MHz long range and verify strong supervision to the panel.

  • Edge-ready commissioning: we confirm 2GIG EDGE firmware 1.3+, enroll the device, and test alarm/restore, tamper, and low-battery reporting.


Key Features


  • E+ extended range: up to ~1.2 miles (open air) using 900 MHz spectrum.

  • Wide coverage: 30 ft × 50 ft with ~100° horizontal sensing.

  • Pet immunity: filters motion from pets up to 85 lb (installer-adjustable).

  • Two-way encrypted communication for secure signaling and reliability.

  • Simple power: 1× CR123A lithium; ~3-year projected life.

Frequently Asked Questions


How high should it be mounted?


Around 7.5 ft for best coverage and pet-immunity performance. We also avoid pointing at windows or HVAC sources.


Will my pet set it off?


The PIR1E-900 is rated up to 85 lb pet immunity. We set the jumper/setting and aim it to minimize animal-caused trips.


Does it work with my current panel?


E+ sensors require the 2GIG EDGE running FW 1.3+. If you’re on another panel, we’ll discuss upgrade options.


How long does the battery last and which type is it?


It uses one CR123A lithium; the datasheet lists ~3-year projected life (usage and environment dependent).


What’s the real-world range?


E+ is rated up to ~1.2 miles open air; actual range depends on construction and layout. We perform an RF survey and testing during install.


Ready for Extended-Range Motion Coverage?


Smart Shield Systems will place, enroll, and test your 2GIG E+ PIR (PIR1E-900), tune pet-immunity and sensitivity, and verify long-range supervision—so you get dependable detection without nuisance alarms.
