Satel HOOD C DG motion detector hood for OPAL and AOD-210 series

HOOD C DG by SATEL is a protective hood designed specifically for motion detectors in the OPAL and AOD-210 series. It provides physical shielding from direct sunlight, rain, snow and airborne debris, helping to reduce the risk of false alarms and protecting the detector housing and optics in outdoor or exposed installations. The accessory is made to fit the compatible detector models and to maintain correct sensor performance in challenging environmental conditions.

Advantages

The hood offers targeted protection against precipitation and solar irradiation that can affect detector sensitivity and cause nuisance alarms. Its shape and fit limit the exposure of the detector lens to dust and insects while still allowing proper detection coverage. Made to match the OPAL and AOD-210 series, the accessory is easy to mount and designed for outdoor durability, helping to prolong the service life of the sensor without altering its detection characteristics.

Suitable for

• Outdoor installations of OPAL and AOD-210 series motion detectors
• Sites exposed to direct sunlight or frequent precipitation
• Areas with airborne debris, dust or insect activity
• Installations where reducing false alarms and protecting detector hardware is important

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for OPAL and AOD-210 series motion detectors
• Function: physical shielding against sunlight, rain, snow and debris
• Material: weather-resistant construction suitable for outdoor use
• Installation: accessory mount compatible with specified detector models
• Effect on performance: preserves required detection coverage while reducing environmental interference

How to use

Install the HOOD C DG by aligning it with the detector housing of the compatible OPAL or AOD-210 model and secure it according to the detector manufacturer's mounting method. Ensure the hood is positioned to shield the detector lens from direct sunlight and precipitation while maintaining the detector's designed field of view. Periodically inspect the hood and remove any accumulated debris, snow or ice to preserve correct sensor operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use the hood on outdoor or exposed detectors located where solar glare or weather frequently affects sensor readings. Combine with proper detector alignment and routine maintenance checks. Avoid obstructing the detection zone when positioning the hood, and replace the accessory if it becomes cracked or severely worn.
