Pyronix UR2-WE Two‑Way Wireless Universal Receiver, 20 Devices, 2 Alarm Relays, 9–15 V DC

Introduction to the product and its key features

Pyronix UR2-WE Two‑Way Wireless Universal Receiveris a compact, reliable interface designed to bring Pyronix Enforcer two‑way wireless peripherals into existing wired alarm control panels. For security installers and system integrators working with mixed wired/wireless environments, the UR2-WE converts learned wireless devices into relay outputs that a third‑party panel can recognize and act upon. The receiver supports up to 20 devices, offers dual‑frequency operation to mitigate jamming, includes tamper protection, and provides a visible 7‑segment active input indicator for quick diagnostics.

Priced competitively (manufacturer suggested price: 74.99), the UR2-WE is aimed at projects where flexibility, reliability and easy integration are priorities.

• Integrates Enforcer two‑way wireless sensors and keyfobs with wired panels (requires panel ARM/DISARM output).
• Supports up to 20 two‑way devices (2 channels; 10 per channel) or up to 12 keyfobs (6 per channel).
• Dual‑frequency operation for automatic channel switching when jamming is detected (requires dual‑frequency peripherals).
• Two alarm relays plus a dedicated fail‑safe fault relay and a 7‑segment display for active input indication.
• One system ARM/DISARM input to wake devices on arming and return them to sleep on disarming, preserving battery life.
• One‑push learn, walk test mode and tamper protection for secure, installer‑friendly setup.

• Alarm relays:2 alarm relays plus a dedicated fail‑safe fault relay. Benefit: separate alarm outputs mean you can map different wireless inputs or zones to dedicated relays on the panel, and the fail‑safe relay provides a clear fault indication for monitoring or logging systems.
• Wireless capacity:2 channels supporting up to 10 devices per channel (20 total) or 6 keyfobs per channel (12 total). Benefit: accommodates modest‑to‑large mixed wireless installations without needing multiple receivers.
• ARM/DISARM input:Single system ARM/DISARM input. Benefit: waking peripherals on arm and returning them to sleep on disarm reduces needless battery drain and ensures devices are active when they need to be.
• Alarm indication:7‑segment display that shows active input indication. Benefit: straightforward visual feedback speeds up commissioning and troubleshooting during walk tests or service calls.
• Fault signalling:Dedicated fail‑safe fault relay. Benefit: integrates seamlessly with central monitoring or logging systems to report device or link failures reliably.
• Power requirements:9–15 V DC with current consumption of approximately 80 mA (min) and 400 mA (max). Benefit: compatible with most alarm panel auxiliary supplies; install with attention to relay switching loads and power‑up sequencing.
• Relay rating:3 A @ 30 V DC per relay. Benefit: sufficient for typical alarm panel inputs and some auxiliary loads; ensure relay ratings match any connected devices.
• Environmental and physical:Operating temperature −10 C to +50 C; dimensions 173 × 125 × 32 mm (W × H × D); tamper protection included. Benefit: compact form factor for enclosure mounting and protected against casual interference.

Together, these specifications make the UR2-WE a balanced choice for installers looking to add wireless peripherals without replacing an existing wired panel. The one‑push learn and walk test modes simplify commissioning: devices can be quickly enrolled and signal strength verified from their intended mounting points.

The UR2-WE is particularly well suited to installation scenarios that require hybrid solutions or retrofits:

• Retrofit projects:When a building has a functional wired alarm panel but the end user wants the flexibility of wireless sensors (door/window contacts, motion detectors, remote keyfobs), the UR2-WE allows integrators to add modern wireless peripherals without replacing the control panel.
• Extensions to legacy systems:Older panels that lack native wireless support can be upgraded with Enforcer two‑way devices to provide additional zones or convenience features such as keyfob operation.
• Sites with limited wiring access:Properties where running new cabling is either disruptive or impractical (listed buildings, temporary sites, heritage properties) benefit from the non‑invasive deployment of wireless devices tied into the existing panel via the UR2-WE.
• Commercial environments:Small offices, retail units and satellite sites often need a cost‑effective way to add wireless motion detectors or panic buttons to a central wired system; the UR2‑WE supports mixed device types and provides robust relay outputs for conventional panels.
• Installer convenience:The 7‑segment display, walk test mode and one‑push learn feature speed commissioning and reduce on‑site time, which is particularly valuable in multi‑site rollouts.

When evaluating the UR2-WE, consider these points relative to alternatives:

• Versus single‑way receivers:Two‑way receivers like the UR2-WE provide bidirectional communication, allowing for acknowledgements, battery status, and jamming detection when paired with compatible peripherals. Single‑way receivers can only receive signals and typically lack these diagnostics. If monitoring, device health and jamming resistance are priorities, a two‑way solution is preferable.
• Versus native hybrid panels:Some modern alarm panels include built‑in wireless receivers and zone handling. While integrated panels reduce components, adding a dedicated UR2-WE can be a lower‑cost retrofit option for sites where the existing panel continues to meet other needs. The UR2-WE is advantageous when you want to retain the wired panel while gaining wireless device support.
• Versus other universal receivers:Key differentiators for the UR2-WE are the dual‑frequency jamming prevention (when used with compatible peripherals), the 7‑segment active input indicator and the dedicated fail‑safe fault relay. Competitive receivers may offer higher device counts, different relay configurations, or proprietary protocols—evaluate based on required capacity, compatibility with selected peripherals, and the need for diagnostics like walk test and signal strength checks.
• Cost and value:With a suggested price of 74.99, the UR2-WE occupies a midrange price point compared with full replacement hybrid panels or higher‑capacity enterprise receivers. For many retrofit jobs, its feature set represents good value given the installation time savings and improved device diagnostics.

There are no specific, attributable customer testimonials included here. However, based on the UR2-WEs feature set and common installer experience with similar two‑way receivers, typical feedback themes include:

• "Easy commissioning": Installers frequently praise the one‑push learn and walk test functions for reducing on‑site setup time and simplifying device enrollment.
• "Reliable integration": Integrators report that the relay outputs and dedicated fault relay make the module straightforward to interface with a wide range of wired control panels.
• "Improved diagnostics": The 7‑segment display and two‑way acknowledgements help technicians diagnose signal issues and confirm successful transmissions without extensive diagnostic tools.
• "Battery life optimization": The ARM/DISARM input that wakes devices only when needed is often noted as a practical way to extend battery life for sensors and keyfobs.

Installation requires a wired control panel with an ARM/DISARM output and should be completed by a qualified alarm technician or electrician. Important considerations include verifying panel compatibility with relay inputs, ensuring the auxiliary power supply can reliably feed the receiver within the specified 9–15 V DC range, and respecting the relay current ratings (3 A @ 30 V DC per relay) for any connected loads.

Tamper protection and proper enclosure mounting are recommended to maintain the integrity of the system. For certification, compliance and detailed wiring instructions consult the manufacturers datasheet and installation guide.

ThePyronix UR2-WE Two‑Way Wireless Universal Receiveris a practical, installer‑friendly solution for integrating modern Enforcer two‑way wireless devices into existing wired alarm systems.
