Passive Infrared Outdoor Motion Detector SATEL LX-402

SATEL LX-402 is an outdoor passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for perimeter and property protection. The detector senses changes in infrared radiation caused by human movement and is intended for installation on exterior walls, posts or other outdoor mounting points to monitor entry gates, walkways and open areas. The housing is weather-resistant and the optical system is optimized to reduce false alarms from small animals and environmental changes while providing reliable detection of intruders approaching the protected zone.

Advantages

The SATEL LX-402 offers a dedicated outdoor PIR sensor with a tailor-made optical pattern for perimeter coverage and adjustable sensitivity to balance detection performance and nuisance alarm rejection. Its robust enclosure provides resistance to rain and dust for continuous outdoor operation. The device is compatible with common alarm control panels and integrates into wired security systems, enabling straightforward signaling to a central alarm unit. Installation features include mounting options for wall or pole placement and alignment adjustments to precisely cover the desired detection corridor.

Suitable for

• Perimeter protection around residential and commercial properties
• Monitoring driveways, walkways and garden areas
• Securing gates, fences and entry points
• Integration with wired alarm control panels and security systems

Key specifications

• Detection technology: Passive infrared (PIR)
• Optimized outdoor optical pattern for perimeter coverage
• Adjustable sensitivity settings
• Weather-resistant housing suitable for exterior installation
• Mounting: wall or pole mounting options with alignment adjustment
• Output: alarm signaling compatible with standard wired alarm inputs

How to use

Mount the detector at a recommended height and orientation to cover the intended perimeter or approach path, avoiding direct exposure to heat sources, reflective surfaces or heavy vegetation in the sensor field. Connect the detector's output wires to the alarm control panel following the panel manufacturer’s wiring and configuration guidelines. Adjust sensitivity and alignment on site to obtain reliable detection of human movement while minimizing responses to small animals or environmental motion. Perform system tests after installation to confirm correct signaling and coverage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, position the detector to monitor likely approach lines and avoid pointing it at areas with rapid, large temperature changes. Regularly inspect the housing for debris and clean the optical window as needed. After extreme weather events or significant landscaping changes, recheck alignment and sensitivity to maintain consistent performance.
