The OPAL Pro detector allows detection of motion in the protected area. It is designed for outdoor use. This
manual applies to the detector with electronics version B (or newer) and firmware version 1.00 (or newer). 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 reflected. If the lens is covered or painted over, the
amount of reflected radiation will change. Registering a rapid change in the level of infrared radiation will result
in activating the anti-mask relay. The relay will remain active as long as masking is sensed by the detector.
The active anti-mask feature meets the EN 50131-2-4 requirements.
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 relay and the steady
light of all LED indicators. The trouble signaling will continue as long as the trouble persists.
Remote LED enable/disable
The LED can be enabled/disabled remotely when the LED is not enabled by means of the jumper. The LED
terminal is provided to allow remote LED enable/disable. The LED is enabled, when the terminal is connected to
the common ground, and disabled, when the terminal is disconnected from the common ground. You can
connect to the LED terminal an OC type control panel output programmed e.g. as the “Service mode status”, “BI
switch” or “Zone test status”.

Remote configuring mode enable/disable
The SVCE terminal is provided to allow remote configuring mode enable/disable. The configuring mode is
enabled, when the terminal is connected to the common ground. You can connect to the SVCE terminal an OC
type control panel output programmed e.g. as the “Service mode status”, “BI switch” or “Zone test status”.

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. 2-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. 2-II).
Install the detector so that the expected movement of an intruder will be across the coverage pattern (Fig. 2-
III).
Don’t install the detector closer than 3 meters from the moving objects (eg. tree branches, bushes, laundry
etc.) (Fig. 2-IV).
Don’t direct the detector on reflective surfaces or on fans or a heat sources (Fig. 2-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. 3).
2. Remove the electronics board (Fig. 4).

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 5 possible ways of mounting the
detector are shown.
5. After mounting the detector, fix the electronics board.
6. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.
If the detector is to be installed outdoors, do not connect the anti-masking 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: “Detector configuring”).
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 contact:
– screw the holder to the tamper contact (Fig. 6-I),
– screw the tamper unit to the enclosure base (Fig. 6-III).
Figure 6 shows mounting the tamper contact in one of two available positions. The place of tamper
contact installing depends on the way of angle bracket mounting. If the tamper contact is to be installed
in the other position, place tamper contact 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. 8).
Ball bracket mounting
1. Attach extra tamper contact:
– screw the holder to the tamper contact (Fig. 7-I),
– put the unit making the surface bigger on the tamper contact (Fig. 7-I),
– screw the tamper unit to the ball bracket (Fig. 7-III).
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. 7-IV).

4. Run the cable through the opening in the enclosure base.
5. Using screws, fasten the enclosure base to the ball bracket (Fig. 9).
Connecting the additional tamper contact
The additional tamper contact is provided with three wires:
– black – common wire,
– blue – wire for NC circuit,
– grey – wire for NO circuit.
The tamper contact can be connected in series to tamper output (TMP) on detector electronics board or to
additional tamper circuit.
5. Detector configuring
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.
Figure 10 shows the coverage areas of the motion detector (a - minimum, b - default, c - maximum, d - creep
zone).

SATEL OPAL Pro 7
Figure 11 shows the way the dusk sensor operates. On the timeline the T time delay is presented (in operating
mode T=15 min, in configuring 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 detection thresholds.
Light intensity [lx]
Detection threshold Turning on [PON] Turning off [POFF]
minimum 10 170
default 25 100
maximum 30 80
Table 1.
All parameters set in the configuring 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 configuring mode
Press MODE button on the detector electronics board for 2 seconds or apply the common ground to the SVCE
terminal. After starting the configuring mode, the green LED starts to blink, it means that you can configure the
sensitivity of the microwave sensor.
Entering the configuring mode disables the anti-mask feature. The anti-mask feature will be
automatically enabled after you exit the configuring mode.
Signaling in the configuring mode
The way in which LEDs operate during configuring of the sensors is as follows.
The microwave sensor
green LED – blinking indicates microwave sensor configuring, 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 configuring, 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 configuring, 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.
Pressing MODE button briefly allows starting configuring of another sensor. Blinking of the proper LED will
indicate which sensor is being configured (see: “Signaling in the configuring mode”).

8 OPAL Pro SATEL
Configuring by means of OPT-1 keyfob
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 configuring. Blinking of the
proper LED will indicate which sensor is being configured (see: “Signaling in the configuring mode”).
End of configuring mode
Press MODE button on the electronics board for 2 seconds or remove the common ground from the SVCE
terminal.
If the configuring mode was activated by means of the MODE button, it is automatically exited after 20
minutes since the last operation performed by the user.
6. Anti-mask delay
Anti-mask delay is the time during which the detector must be covered for the anti-mask relay to be activated
(cf. “Active IR anti-mask”). By default, the delay is 1 second. You can increase the delay up to 60 seconds.
If the anti-mask delay is 60 seconds, the anti-mask feature does not meet the requirements of EN
50131-2-4 for Grade 3.
To program the 60-second delay:
1. Power off the detector.
2. Place a jumper across the LED enable/disable pins.
3. Press and hold down the -button on the electronics board.
4. Power on the detector.
5. 3 seconds after power-on release the - button. The new settings will be saved.
To program the 1-second delay:
1. Power off the detector.
2. Remove the jumper from the LED enable/disable pins.
3. Press and hold down the -button on the electronics board.
4. Power on the detector.
5. 3 seconds after power-on release the - button. The new settings will be saved.
7. Walk test
Check that moving within the coverage area will activate the alarm relay and make the LED light up red.
Separate testing of sensors
Testing of the sensors is done in the detector configuring mode. Starting the mode, choosing the sensor and the
way of changing sensitivity are described in detail in the chapter “Detector configuring”.
6. Start the configuring mode.
7. Choose the sensor to be tested.
8. Check that moving in the coverage area will activate the alarm relay and make the violation signaling LED
light up.
9. If it is needed, readjust sensitivity and check the sensor operating.

8. OPT-1 keyfob
The keyfob is CR2032 3V lithium battery powered. Battery life depends entirely on the way the keyfob is used.
The battery lasts for at least 8 thousand button pressings.
The keyfob LED is ON if any button is pressed. If the battery is low, the LED blinks instead of being ON. You
should replace the battery then. The way of battery replacing is shown in Figure 12. If the battery is low, the
keyfob range decreases.
The used batteries must not be discarded, but should be disposed of in accordance with the
existing rules for environment protection.
