SATEL APC-200 S Wireless Ceiling PIR Motion Detector

The SATEL APC-200 S is a professional-grade wireless ceiling-mounted PIR motion detector engineered for high-performance security monitoring. Designed for integration within the ABAX 2 wireless system, this device utilizes advanced passive infrared technology to detect movement within indoor spaces. Its compact and unobtrusive housing allows for discreet installation on ceilings, making it an ideal choice for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of residential or commercial interiors while ensuring robust perimeter protection.

Advantages

This motion detector offers exceptional reliability through its sophisticated signal processing algorithms, which effectively minimize false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to genuine movement. The wireless nature of the device simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for complex wiring and allowing for flexible placement within a room. Furthermore, the unit is optimized for energy efficiency, providing an extended battery life that reduces the frequency of maintenance requirements. Its seamless compatibility with the ABAX 2 ecosystem ensures encrypted, stable communication and real-time status monitoring for enhanced system security.

Suitable for

• Residential security systems for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms
• Commercial office spaces requiring discreet motion detection
• Retail environments for monitoring customer movement or security zones
• Indoor areas where wired installation is impractical or aesthetically undesirable

When it may not be suitable

The device is designed exclusively for indoor use and should not be installed in outdoor environments or areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature fluctuations. It may also be less effective in spaces with significant air drafts or rapidly changing thermal conditions, which can interfere with passive infrared sensors.

Key specifications

• Detection technology: Passive Infrared (PIR)
• Mounting type: Ceiling
• System compatibility: ABAX 2 wireless system
• Operating environment: Indoor
• Communication: Encrypted wireless transmission

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified security professional to ensure optimal coverage and system integration. The detector is mounted on the ceiling, typically in the center of the room or at a strategic point to cover the desired detection area. Once physically installed, the device must be registered with the ABAX 2 controller through the system configuration software. After registration, perform a walk-test to verify that the detection range meets the specific requirements of the protected area.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing alarm system supports the ABAX 2 wireless protocol
• Verify the ceiling height and room dimensions to confirm the detector's coverage range
• Check for potential sources of interference, such as heating vents or large heat-emitting appliances

For optimal performance, ensure the detector is mounted on a stable surface and avoid placing it directly above heat sources or in the path of strong air currents. Regularly test the system to confirm that the battery levels are sufficient and that the device remains responsive to movement.
