01Overview

What the PFPR-12 is

The Bosch RFPR-12 exists for the rooms that a wired detector never reaches: a brick extension, a rented house, a room finished after the alarm went in. It covers 12 m x 12 m on 433.42 MHz and reports to a RADION receiver on the panel, so nothing has to be chased through a wall.

Pets are the reason most of these are bought. The detector distinguishes a dog of up to 13 kg, two dogs totalling 27 kg, or up to ten cats, so an animal left inside overnight does not set the system off. Behind that is Motion Analyzer II, which weighs the timing, amplitude, duration and polarity of a signal against multiple thresholds, with three sensitivity settings for the room. A sealed optical chamber keeps drafts and insects out of the optics, and temperature compensation holds catch performance when the room temperature approaches body heat, which matters in an Australian summer.

Battery life comes from restraint. The detector runs on one CR123A lithium cell at 3 VDC for up to five years, helped by a three minute lockout that stops it transmitting a second alarm until three minutes have passed since the last one restored. The panel is told when the cell falls to the 2.4 V threshold, so the battery gets changed before the zone goes quiet.

Mounting is at 2.1 m to 2.7 m, flat on a wall, in a corner, or on a bracket: the B328 gimbal, the B335-3 low-profile swivel, or the B338 ceiling mount that swivels 7° up to 16° down and 45° either side. An external LED shows an alarm, and holding the tamper switch puts it into walk test for at least 90 seconds. Cover and wall tampers both report, so the detector cannot be opened or lifted off the wall unnoticed.

It is an indoor detector: 111 mm x 60 mm x 43 mm, 0.15 kg, IP30 and IK04, rated -10 °C to +55 °C and up to 93% non-condensing humidity. This is the version for Europe, Africa and Australia; the RFPR-12-A is the North and South American model. Where the room has curtains, the RFPR-C12 curtain version covers a narrow 12 m x 1.5 m pattern instead. The supplier warranty is 36 Months.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the PFPR-12

The dog can stay inside

The Bosch RFPR-12 distinguishes a dog of up to 13 kg, two dogs totalling 27 kg, or up to ten cats. A household stops choosing between arming the alarm and leaving the pet indoors.

A room covered without a cable

A 12 m x 12 m pattern reports to a RADION receiver on 433.42 MHz. A brick extension, a rented house or a room finished after the alarm was installed gets covered without chasing a wall.

False alarms filtered, not just tolerated

Motion Analyzer II weighs the timing, amplitude, duration and polarity of every signal against multiple thresholds, and three sensitivity settings match it to the room. A sealed optical chamber keeps drafts and insects out of the optics.

Built for a hot room

Temperature compensation adjusts sensitivity to hold catch performance at critical temperatures, which is when a detector is most likely to miss a person. That is the Australian summer problem in one line.

Years between battery changes

One CR123A lithium cell runs up to five years, helped by a three minute lockout between alarms. The panel reports a low battery at 2.4 V, so it is replaced on schedule and not after a silent failure.

It tells the panel if it is interfered with

Cover tamper and wall tamper both transmit, and the detector is supervised for low battery and removal from its mounting surface. Taking it off the wall is an event, not a gap.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Australian family home with a dog

The Bosch RFPR-12 goes in the lounge or hallway the dog uses at night, covering the room, with pet immunity set for the animal that shares it. Mount it between 2.1 m and 2.7 m and set the sensitivity to suit the room.

Room added after the alarm went in

A converted garage, a sunroom or a rear extension gets a detector without running cable back to the panel, as long as a RADION receiver is fitted. Test the position first, because objects inside the building, including people, affect the radio.

Rented house or a system that has to come with you

Because it fixes with a screw and reports by radio, the detector goes up with minimal work and comes down the same way. Keep it indoors and dry; it is not a garage-door or verandah detector.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What arrives

    The Bosch RFPR-12 comes as the detector in its white plastic housing, the version for Europe, Africa and Australia. The RADION receiver, the mounting brackets and any replacement CR123A battery are ordered separately.

  2. Where to mount it

    Fit it between 2.1 m and 2.7 m, flat on a wall surface or semi-flush, in a corner, or on a bracket: the B328 gimbal, the B335-3 low-profile swivel, or the B338 ceiling mount. Keep it indoors and dry, on a flat rigid surface.

  3. Make the wall tamper work

    A screw must be fitted in the designated wall-tamper slot, or the wall tamper will not function. Without it the detector can be lifted off the wall without the panel knowing.

  4. Learning it into the panel

    Add it at the codepad either by typing its nine-digit RF ID or by triggering the detector in auto mode. On an alphanumeric or touchscreen codepad the zone source has to be set to RF.

  5. Testing on site

    On power-up the detector runs a factory test mode for about ten seconds. Press and hold the tamper switch to enter walk test for at least 90 seconds, and watch the external LED as you walk the pattern.

  6. Checking the radio path

    Signal strength depends on the building and on what is inside it, including people, so test the detector where it will live rather than assuming the range. From Solution 2000 and 3000 firmware 2.1, the icon codepad can show RF signal strength for a zone.

  7. When to call an electrician

    None of this is mains work: the detector is battery powered and reports by radio. Use a licensed electrician only if the job involves new or altered fixed wiring elsewhere in the installation.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the PFPR-12

Q.01

How much area does the Bosch RFPR-12 cover?

Its pattern is 12 m x 12 m, mounted between 2.1 m and 2.7 m high. For a narrow space with curtains, the RFPR-C12 version covers 12 m x 1.5 m instead.
Q.02

How big a pet can it ignore?

A dog of up to 13 kg, two dogs totalling 27 kg, or up to ten cats. Larger animals are outside what the detector is designed to discount.
Q.03

What does it need to work?

A RADION receiver on the alarm panel, such as the RFRC-STR2. The detector reports on 433.42 MHz and does not connect to the panel by cable.
Q.04

How long does the battery last?

Up to five years from one CR123A lithium cell. The panel reports a low battery when the cell reaches 2.4 V, and clearing that trouble needs a new cell and a transmission from the detector.
Q.05

Why does it not alarm twice in a row?

A three minute lockout stops a second alarm until three minutes have passed since the previous one restored. It is there to protect the battery in a room with constant movement.
Q.06

How do I add it to the panel?

Enter its nine-digit RF ID at the codepad, or use auto mode and trigger the detector. On an alphanumeric or touchscreen codepad the zone source must be set to RF.
Q.07

How do I walk test it?

Press and hold the tamper switch, which puts it into walk test for at least 90 seconds, then watch the external LED while walking the pattern.
Q.08

Can it go in a garage or on a verandah?

No. It is intended for indoor, dry locations on a flat rigid surface, rated -10 °C to +55 °C and up to 93% non-condensing humidity, with an IP30 and IK04 rating.
Q.09

Is this the right model for Australia?

Yes. This is the version for Europe, Africa and Australia; the RFPR-12-A is the North and South American model and the RFPR-12-CHI is for China only.

01

Add the receiver that hears it

The Bosch RFPR-12 needs a RADION receiver on the panel before it can report anything. The RFRC-STR2 is the RADION receiver sold here for Solution panels; check its own page for the devices it lists.

02

Add the ceiling bracket for an open room

A flat wall is not always where the pattern needs to start. The B338 ceiling bracket swivels 7° up to 16° down and 45° either side, which aims the detector into a room with no suitable wall.

03

Cover the doors as well as the rooms

Motion inside tells you someone is already in. The RFDW-SM is the RADION wireless door contact sold here, so a perimeter and an interior can be built from the same wireless family.

04

Step up where a room defeats a PIR

Where a room defeats a single-technology detector, a dual-technology one is worth considering. The RFDL-11 is the RADION TriTech detector sold here; its own page carries its coverage and pet figures.
