2 OPAL Pro SATEL
The OPAL Pro detector detects motion in the protected area. It is designed for outdoor use.
This manual applies to the detector with electronics version D. The detector meets
requirements of the EN 50131-2-4 standard for Grade 3.
The Grade 3 certificate applies to the indoor use. The outdoor use of the
detector (despite full Grade 3 functionality) is not covered by the certificate
(there is no standard for the outdoor detectors).

2. Description
The alarm will be triggered when infrared sensor (PIR) and microwave sensor detect motion
within a time period shorter than 4 seconds.
Active IR anti-mask
The active anti-mask feature detects attempts to cover the detector or paint over the lens.
The detector emits infrared radiation and measures the amount of radiation received.
A change in the level of received infrared radiation activates the anti-mask output. The output
will remain on as long as the detector detects masking.
The active anti-mask feature meets the EN 50131-2-4 requirements.
Anti-mask delay
The detector with factory default settings will report masking if it receives a wrong amount of
infrared radiation for 1 second. You can delay the anti-mask activation (see “Configuring the
detector”). The detector will report masking if it is covered for 60 seconds.
If you delay the anti-mask activation, it will not meet the requirements of EN 50131-2-4
for Grade 3.

SATEL OPAL Pro 3
Dusk sensor
Figure 1 shows the way the dusk sensor operates. On the timeline the T time delay is
presented (in operating mode T=3 min, in configuration mode T=3 s). Illustrated with the
letter H light intensity hysteresis and time delay make the sensor immune to short and
accidental changes of light intensity. Table 1 presents light intensity values for three out of
sixteen programmable detection thresholds of the sensor (see “Configuring the detector”).

Supervision features
In the event of the voltage drop below 9 V (± 5%) for more than 2 seconds or the motion
detection system failure, the detector will signal a trouble. The trouble is indicated by the
activation of alarm output and the steady light of all LED indicators. The trouble signaling will
continue as long as the trouble persists.
LED indicators
The LEDs indicate:
warm-up –all LEDs flashing alternately for about 40 seconds;
motion detected by microwave sensor –green LED ON for 4 seconds;
motion detected by PIR sensor –yellow LED ON for 4 seconds;
alarm –red LED ON for 2 seconds;
trouble –all LEDs ON for entire duration of the trouble.
The LEDs are also used in the configuration mode (see: “Configuring the detector”).
You can enable / disable the LEDs. When disabled, the LEDs will not indicate the states
described above.

Enabling the LEDs by using a jumper
If you put a jumper across the LED pins, the LEDs will be enabled, i.e. they will indicate the
events described above (the LED indicators can’t be enabled / disabled remotely). If you do
not put a jumper across the pins, the LEDs will be disabled, but they can be
enabled / disabled remotely.
Remote LEDs enable / disable
The LED terminal is provided to allow remote LEDs enable/disable. When the terminal is
connected to common ground, the LEDs are enabled. When the terminal is disconnected
from common ground, the LEDs are disabled.
If the detector is used in the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus alarm system, you can connect to
the terminal the OC type control panel output programmed e.g. as “Zone test status” or “BI
switch”.
Remote configuration mode enable / disable
The SVCE terminal is provided to allow remote configuration mode enable / disable.
The configuration mode is enabled, when the terminal is connected to the common ground.
If the detector is used in the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus alarm system, you can connect to
the terminal the OC type control panel output programmed e.g. as “Service mode status” or
“BI switch”.
3. Electronics module
Do not remove the plastic cover from the circuit board to prevent damage to the
components located on the board.

additional tamper switch.
4. Installation
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.
If the detector is to be pet immune, it should be mounted at 2.4 m height with no
vertical tilt. It is especially important when mounting on a ball bracket.

The detector can be installed outdoors as well as indoors, in spaces with harsh
environmental conditions (high dustiness, high humidity, low or high temperatures, etc.).
Thus, you can use it in warehouses, production halls, or other industrial facilities.
Install the detector at the recommended height (Fig. 3-I).
If traffic nearby or objects moving out of the protected area cause an alarm, move the
detector slightly downwards or reduce the detector sensitivity (Fig. 3-II).
Install the detector so that the expected movement of an intruder will be across the
coverage pattern (Fig. 3-III).
Don’t install the detector closer than 3 meters from the moving objects (e.g. tree branches,
bushes, laundry etc.) (Fig. 3-IV).
Don’t direct the detector on reflective surfaces or on fans or a heat sources (Fig. 3-V).
Do not install the detector in locations exposed to direct action of sun rays.
When putting two or more cables into the enclosure, it is advisable to place them in
heat shrink tube. It reduces the risk of getting water into the enclosure.
1. Remove the front cover (Fig. 4).
2. Remove the electronics module (Fig. 5).

SATEL OPAL Pro 7
3. Make the opening for cable in the enclosure base.
4. Mount the enclosure base to the wall (see: “Wall mounting”), to the angle bracket
(see: “Angle bracket mounting”) or to the ball bracket (see: “Ball bracket mounting”).
In Figure 6 possible ways of mounting the detector are shown.

5. Fasten the electronics module in the enclosure base.
6. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.
If the detector is to be installed outdoors, do not connect the anti-mask outputs to the
control panel zones. Severe weather conditions, including rain, fog or frost, can be
interpreted by the anti-mask circuit as an attempt to mask the detector.
7. Power-up the detector. All the LEDs will be blinking alternately for 40 seconds, signaling
the detector warm-up.
8. After the LEDs stop blinking, configure the detector (see: “Configuring the detector”).
9. Replace the cover.
10.Power-off the detector and then power-up it again for the anti-mask circuit to configure
properly. After power-up, the detector will be analyzing (for 40 seconds) the environment
in which it has been installed, and will adapt the operating parameters of anti-mask
accordingly. When the environment analysis is in progress, the enclosure must be closed
and the detector must not be covered by any undesirable objects.
Wall mounting
1. Run the cable through the opening in the enclosure base.
2. Using wall plugs (screw anchors) and screws, fasten the enclosure base to the wall
Angle bracket mounting
1. Attach extra tamper switch:
–screw the holder to the tamper switch (Fig. 7-I),
–screw the tamper unit to the enclosure base (Fig. 7-III).
Figure 7 shows mounting the tamper switch in one of two available positions.
The place of tamper switch installing depends on the way of angle bracket mounting.
If the tamper switch is to be installed in the other position, place tamper switch holder
on the other side.
2. Prepare openings in the bracket for screws and a cable.
3. Pass the cable through the prepared opening.
4. Using wall plugs (screw anchors) and screws, fasten the bracket to the wall.
5. Run the cable through the opening in the enclosure base.
6. Using screws, fasten the enclosure base to the bracket (Fig. 7-IV).

SATEL OPAL Pro 9
Ball bracket mounting
1. Attach extra tamper switch:
–screw the holder to the tamper switch (Fig. 8-I),
–put the unit making the surface bigger on the tamper switch (Fig. 8-II),
–screw the tamper unit to the ball bracket (Fig. 8-IV).
2. Run the cable through the opening in the handle of the bracket.
3. Using wall plugs (screw anchors) and screws, fasten the ball bracket to the wall (Fig. 8-V).
4. Run the cable through the opening in the enclosure base (Fig. 8-VI).
5. Using screws, fasten the enclosure base to the ball bracket (Fig. 8-VII).

Connecting the additional tamper switch
The additional tamper switch is provided with three wires:
–black –common wire,
–blue –wire for NC circuit,
–grey –wire for NO circuit.
The tamper switch can be connected in series to the detector tamper output (TMP) or to
additional tamper circuit.
5. Configuring the detector
The detector allows you to configure working parameters of each sensor separately:
–detection sensitivity of the microwave sensor,
–detection sensitivity of the PIR sensor,
–detection threshold of the dusk sensor.
Each sensor has 16 sensitivity thresholds.
All parameters set in the configuration mode are written in the detector non-volatile
memory and are retained even after power loss.
If the detector is to be pet immune, for the infrared and microwave sensors do not set
the detection sensitivity higher than default.
Starting configuration mode
Press the detector MODE button for 2 seconds or apply the common ground to the SVCE
terminal. After starting the configuration mode, the green LED starts to blink, it means that
you can configure the sensitivity of the microwave sensor.
Entering the configuration mode disables the anti-mask feature. The anti-mask feature
will be automatically enabled after you exit the configuration mode.
Signaling in the configuration mode
The way in which LEDs operate during configuration of the sensors is as follows.
The microwave sensor
green LED –blinking indicates microwave sensor configuration, blinking frequency gives
information about sensitivity (higher blinking frequency = higher sensor sensitivity),
yellow LED –signals motion detection –ON for 2 seconds.
The PIR sensor
yellow LED –blinking indicates PIR sensor configuration, blinking frequency gives
information about sensitivity (higher blinking frequency = higher sensor sensitivity),
green LED –signals motion detection –ON for 2 seconds.
The dusk sensor
red LED –blinking indicates dusk sensor configuration, blinking frequency gives information
about the set detection threshold (higher blinking frequency = higher detection threshold),
yellow LED –ON when the light intensity is below the set threshold.
Reaching the bottom or top limit of adjustment setting is indicated by the LED which is
ON for 3 seconds.

Configuring by means of the detector buttons
By pressing buttons -(value decreasing) and +(value increasing) set the sensitivity /
detection threshold of the sensor.
Pressing buttons -and +simultaneously restores default settings for the configured
sensor. Keeping the buttons pressed for 3 seconds restores default settings for all
sensors.
Press the MODE button briefly in order to proceed and configure another sensor. Blinking of
the proper LED will indicate which sensor is being configured (see: “Signaling in the
configuration mode”).
Configuring by means of OPT-1 keyfob
The OPT-1 keyfob is available in SATEL’s product range.
Point the keyfob towards the detector and by pressing buttons (value decreasing) and
(value increasing) set the sensitivity / detection threshold of the sensor.
Pressing the button restores default settings for the configured sensor.
By pressing (the next sensor) or (the previous sensor) go to another sensor
configuration. Blinking of the proper LED will indicate which sensor is being configured
(see: “Signaling in the configuration mode”).
Ending configuration mode
Press the detector MODE button for 2 seconds or remove the common ground from the
SVCE terminal.
If the configuration mode was activated by means of the MODE button, it is
automatically exited after 20 minutes since the last operation performed by the user.

7. Walk test
Check that moving within the coverage area will make the LED light up red. Figure 9 shows
the coverage areas of the motion detector (a - minimum, b - default, c - maximum, d - creep
zone).
Separate testing of sensors
Testing of the sensors is done in the detector configuration mode. Starting the mode,
choosing the sensor and the way of changing sensitivity are described in detail in the chapter
“Configuring the detector”.
1. Start the configuration mode.
2. Choose the sensor to be tested.
3. Check that moving in the coverage area will make the violation signaling LED light up.
4. If it is needed, readjust sensitivity and check the sensor operating.
