innovative outdoor dual technology motion detector

OPAL Plus

When planning an alarm system, be sure not to focus solely on detecting the intruder's presence inside the premises to be protected. Equally, and perhaps even more important, is to detect the unwelcome guest before he does any damage inside the building. For this purpose, devices detecting an attempt to penetrate the outer perimeter of the monitored premises are used. This functionality is offered by the latest SATEL OPAL Plus detector.

APPLICATIONS

                                                                         houses                          automation systems                          industrial             

The OPAL series detectors provide excellent outdoor protection for buildings of various types and uses. These devices will also perform very well as indoor protection in industrial facilities, where difficult or special environmental conditions prevail (e.g. in halls, under umbrella roofs).
The OPAL Plus detector is additionally provided with a dusk sensor to control OC output, which allows it to be used also in alarm systems with home automation - without having to install any extra dusk sensors. The signal from the low-current output can be passed directly to the relay located in the electrical switchboard or to the home automation controller. The detector can also interface with the KNX system via a control panel of the INTEGRA series. Thus, the OPAL Plus functionality allows you to easily and conveniently control, for example, the roller shutters, exterior lighting of the building, garage door or entrance gate, as well as select the moment of operation through fine sensitivity adjustment.

APPLICATIONS

The OPAL series detectors are characterized by a detection angle as wide as 100 degrees and a range of more than 15 meters. Also, as the look down zone is protected, any intruder's attempt to sneak by to damage or pull off the device will be detected. In addition, the detector software has been designed so as to prevent triggering false alarms by the movement of small pets.

IMMUNITY TO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS 

The OPAL Plus incorporates PIR and MW technologies. The dual technology, combined with the algorithm of detector auto-adaptation to environmental conditions, ensures high immunity to false alarms and, consequently, stable operation in harsh weather conditions, such as rain, snow, sunshine and strong gusts of air. The ambient temperature changes are automatically compensated. Resistance of the detectors to extreme weather conditions have been confirmed by long-term tests. The devices offer correct operation within a wide temperature range from -40°C to +55°C.

DETECTOR DESIGN 

High quality of the OPAL and OPAL Plus detectors is a result of combining state-of-the-art technologies and many years' experience of SATEL specialists in designing and manufacturing of intruder alarms. Design of the detectors - both of their electronics and the enclosure itself - is the proof of this.To manufacture the enclosures for OPAL detectors, the two-component injection technology is used. Through the combination of polycarbonate and thermoplastic elastomer, a splash-proof, IP54 rated design has been created. This enclosure protects the detector electronics against factors having an adverse effect on it, including rain, snow, fog or moisture. The OPAL and OPAL Plus detectors are also characterized by high mechanical strength and resistance to UV radiation, so the external appearance of the devices remains unchanged for many years.
