Description

The Honeywell IS216T-CUR is a passive infrared (PIR) curtain motion detector that allows protection across a plane without covering an entire room. The Honeywell IS216T-CUR is similar to the IS216, but has a more two-dimensional coverage pattern that allows you to protect a bank of windows on one side of a room, or a ceiling or skylight. The IS216T-CUR can be vertically mounted on a wall, horizontally mounted on a wall, or even ceiling mounted, to take advantage of its unique coverage pattern for different protection needs.

The IS216T-CUR has two motion detection sensitivity levels which can be set using the DIP switches located on the circuit board. The motion’s attractive white housing has mounting knockouts that allow it to be flush mounted to a wall or ceiling, or even corner mounted. The Honeywell IS216T-CUR must have a clear line of sight to the protected area. The PIR motion detector uses infrared technology that must see movement in order to detect an intruder in the area. Make sure that there are no objects within the field of view that could cause a false alarm, and don’t mount pointing towards windows, machinery, heating or cooling devices.

The Honeywell IS216T-CUR is unique in that it provides a curtain of protection, essentially a flatter plane than most other motion detectors. When mounted vertically, the IS215T-CUR has a coverage pattern of 33’ out by 5.5’ wide. When mounted horizontally, such as to protect a ceiling or skylight, the IS216T-CUR has a pattern that is 28’ wide, extends 20’ out, and has a thickness of 3.3’. Because if it’s non-traditional coverage pattern, it is recommended that you walk test the IS216T-CUR motion sensor so that you are aware of the maximum coverage distance in the installed environment.

Nice Curtain Motion Sensor!

The Honeywell IS216-T-CUR is a hardwired curtain motion detector that detects movement across a single plane, rather than an entire area. This is useful if you want to be able to have occupants move around freely on one side of the room, while still having your system alerted if someone walks across a specific line. It allows for many types of mounting options, as you can mount the sensor horizontally, vertically, or on the ceiling based on your needs. Its coverage pattern is 33' x 5'5 when mounted vertically, and 28' x 20' when mounted horizontally. We have found that this is a great wired curtain motion sensor, and we give it a 5-Star score.

There are many aspects we like about the Honeywell IS216-T-CUR Curtain Motion Sensor. For one, its unique coverage area may be better suited for your area than a traditional motion sensor. These sensors are often used to determine when a person walks up to, or through, a door. Having multiple mounting options to adjust the detection area is a nice touch. It really makes the IS216-T-CUR more versatile. As a Honeywell Sensor, the IS216-T-CUR is very reliable, and it has a great build quality.

There are some downsides to the Honeywell IS216-T-CUR that should be kept in mind. For one, it is a wired motion sensor, and you will need to run a wire from the sensor to the panel. This may be tough for a DIY user who isn't used to running wires. Due to the sensor's adjustable detection area, the placement of the sensor is finicky, and you must really get it right to ensure you don't get a false alarm from movement in a nearby area. We strongly recommend testing your motion sensor regularly to make sure that it gives you the results you want. But really, these downsides are pretty minor, so we still give the IS216-T-CUR a 5-Star rating.

Good: Unique Coverage Area, Versatile, Reliable, Good Build Quality

Bad: Requires Running a Wire, Finicky Placement

Bottom Line: 5 Stars
