2 OPAL SATEL
The OPAL 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 the
requirements of the EN 50131-2-4 standard for Grade 2.
The Grade 2 certificate applies to the indoor use. The outdoor use of the
detector (despite full Grade 2 functionality) is not covered by the certificate
(there is no standard for the outdoor detectors).
1. Features
Motion detection with two sensors: passive infrared sensor (PIR) and microwave sensor
(MW).
Digital motion detection algorithm.
Digital temperature compensation.
Pet immunity up to 20 kg.
Immunity to false alarms caused by objects moving but not changing their position
(e.g. branches of trees).
Creep zone.
Microwave based anti-mask feature.
Capability of separate sensor configuring / testing.
Three LED indicators.
Remote LED enable / disable.
Remote configuration mode enable / disable.
Supervision of motion detection system and supply voltage.
Tamper protection against cover removal and tearing enclosure from the wall.
Weatherproof enclosure featuring a very high mechanical strength.
2. Description
The alarm will be triggered when infrared sensor (PIR) and microwave sensor detect motion
within a time period shorter than 4 seconds.
Anti-mask feature
Detection by the microwave sensor of an object moving at a distance of 10-20 centimeters
from the detector is interpreted as an attempt to mask the detector and results in activation of
anti-mask output for two seconds. Objects permeable to microwaves, but isolating the
infrared radiation are not detected by the anti-mask feature.
The 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 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.
Do not touch the pyroelectric sensor, so as not to soil it.

On the other side of the electronics module there is a tamper switch activated by removing
the detector from the wall.
When mounting the detector on the angle or ball bracket, it is necessary to install
additional tamper switch (it is included in the detector delivery set).

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.
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 (e.g. 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).
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 module (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. Fasten the electronics module in the enclosure base.
6. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.
7. Configure the detector (see: “Configuring the detector”).
8. Replace the cover.

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. 6-I),
–screw the tamper unit to the enclosure base (Fig. 6-III).
Figure 6 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. 6-IV).

Ball bracket mounting
1. Attach extra tamper switch:
–screw the holder to the tamper switch (Fig. 7-I),
–put the unit making the surface bigger on the tamper switch (Fig. 7-II),
–screw the tamper unit to the ball bracket (Fig. 7-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. 7-V).
4. Run the cable through the opening in the enclosure base (Fig. 7-VI).
5. Using screws, fasten the enclosure base to the ball bracket (Fig. 7-VII).
