Detailed specifications and benefits
The device uses Tri‑X two‑way RF at 868 MHz, a frequency range intended for EU/EMEA markets. Two‑way communication means the panic button and the AX Pro panel can exchange signals and acknowledgements, improving reliability over simple one‑way transmitters. AES‑128 encryption protects communications from eavesdropping, while frequency‑hopping technology helps resist RF jamming attempts. In practical terms, this combination raises the bar for both accidental interference and intentional tampering with the radio link.
Powered by a single CR2450 coin cell (typical voltage 3 V), the unit is optimized for low power use. The manufacturer estimates up to about three years of life in standby conditions, based on approximately 20 triggers per day. Real‑world battery life depends on trigger frequency, temperature, and RF retransmissions; however, using a standard replaceable battery makes maintenance straightforward for installers and end users.
Measuring 63.8 × 63.8 × 18.4 mm and weighing roughly 57.5 g (B variant), the panic button is unobtrusive and wall‑mountable. The B variant’s IP66 rating provides protection against powerful water jets and ingress of dust, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor locations, entrance canopies, covered walkways and humid indoor environments such as kitchens or commercial food prep areas. Operating temperature ranges from −10 °C to 55 °C, with storage between −20 °C and 60 °C, and a non‑condensing humidity tolerance of 10%–90%.
Front and rear tamper protection is standard, alerting the system if the device is removed or opened. A visible blue LED indicates alarm activation, giving immediate visual feedback to occupants and responders. These features help reduce false removals and make the unit more trustworthy in public or semi‑public locations.
Enrolment is flexible: installers can use power‑up enrollment, Remote ID or QR code methods. Remote configuration capabilities allow system integrators to make adjustments without physical access to the device in many cases, speeding deployments and simplifying maintenance. The device should be installed per AX Pro guidelines and local regulations; although IP66 rated, correct sealing of mounting points and routine checks are recommended to maintain weatherproofing.
Use cases and scenarios where the product excels
- Retail and hospitality:Quick silent or audible panic alerts for store staff, receptionists or hotel front‑desk personnel. The compact, wall‑mounted design can be placed under counters or behind service desks.
- Care homes and assisted living:Fast assistance calls for residents and carers. The clear visual LED and tamper protection help ensure reliable operation and reduce accidental removal.
- Lone workers and security patrols:Mounted at guard stations, small checkpoints or remote gates where two‑way RF and AES encryption add security to panic reporting.
- Schools and campuses:Discreet emergency trigger points for administrative staff, enabling rapid response without large, intrusive buttons.
- Outdoor entrances and industrial sites:The IP66 B variant allows placement under awnings or at protected exterior locations exposed to rain and dust.
- Small offices and commercial premises:Affordable and easy to add to AX Pro systems for improved staff safety and incident reporting.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
Many basic panic buttons use one‑way transmission with no acknowledgement from the control panel. The Tri‑X two‑way approach used by this model provides confirmation that an alarm signal was received, reducing the chance of missed events. Furthermore, AES‑128 encryption and frequency hopping significantly improve resistance to interception and jamming compared with simple unencrypted one‑way devices.
Wired panic buttons can be more tamper‑resistant in some installations and do not rely on batteries, but they require cabling and may be more disruptive and costly to install. The DS‑PDEB1‑EG2‑WE(B) is ideal where retrofitting or fast installs matter: no running of new cables, flexible placement and remote enrolment reduce labor and downtime. For permanent high‑security installations where continuous power is needed, wired solutions still have advantages.
Compared with other wireless panic devices, the DS‑PDEB1‑EG2‑WE(B) stands out for its combination of AES‑128 encryption, frequency hopping and IP66 option. Some competitors offer longer battery life or multi‑button options, while others may operate on different frequencies (e.g., 433 MHz or 2.4 GHz) that have different regional availability and interference characteristics. The main trade‑offs are system compatibility (this unit is built for AX Pro systems and 868 MHz markets), and real‑world range limitations indoors — it lists up to 1.2 km open‑space range, but obstacles and building materials will reduce that distance.
Customer feedback and typical installer comments
There are no specific customer testimonials provided with the product data here, but common feedback themes from installers and end users for devices with these characteristics typically include:
- "Reliable RF link and the two‑way confirmation gives peace of mind that alarms are received."
- "AES encryption and frequency hopping are great for higher‑risk sites where jamming is a concern."
- "IP66 variant lets us put panic buttons near external staff entrances without worrying about weather ingress."
- "Battery life is good for a replaceable coin cell, and replacement is inexpensive and simple."
- "Enrolment with QR code saves time on site compared to older enrolment processes."
When marketing or selling this product, provide clear guidance about regional frequency compatibility (868 MHz for EU/EMEA) and advise customers to verify CE/UKCA and local regulatory approvals.
Pricing, warranty and procurement notes
The suggested retail price is listed as 34.99 (suggested_price), with a cost price of 28.85 (cost_price). The product data indicates no included warranty (warranty: 0), so resellers should confirm warranty terms with the manufacturer or distributor and communicate those terms to buyers. Because this model targets AX Pro systems, purchasers should confirm system compatibility and regional approvals before ordering.
