Dual-zone RF field-disturbance sensor

This Directed Electronics 508D accessory creates two invisible detection zones around a vehicle using RF field-disturbance technology. It identifies moving high-density objects that enter either zone. The unit is designed for automotive security systems that require perimeter intrusion detection.

Suited for convertibles and open-top vehicles

The sensor works well where traditional interior volumetric sensors cannot operate, such as soft-top cars, trucks with open beds or any vehicle where windows are left down. It is not suited for installations that require only a single detection zone or for systems lacking a compatible dual-zone alarm controller.

Dual-zone detection capability

The defining specification is the dual-zone architecture that generates two separate RF fields and can trigger either a warn-away response or a full alarm depending on which zone is breached. This capability determines whether the sensor matches the coverage and escalation logic your security system expects.

Questions about this item

How does the 508D sensor handle continuous RF field-disturbance scanning without false triggers?

The dual-zone radar creates two invisible detection fields around the vehicle, filtering moving high-density objects so only genuine intrusions generate a Warn Away® response or full alarm.

Does the 508D draw enough current to drain the battery when armed for days?

As a low-power radar sensor it draws minimal standby current, letting the vehicle sit armed for extended periods without measurable battery impact.

Which security system interfaces does the 508D plug into for zone-intrusion output?

It connects to compatible Directed alarm control modules that accept dual-zone radar inputs, enabling Warn Away® and full-alarm triggers on the existing siren.
