Using the dusk sensor in SATEL OPAL Plus detectors
The OPAL Plus is an outdoor dual technology (Passive Infrared and Microwave) motion detector with anti-masking and remote configuration as well as an in-built dusk sensor.
Working seamlessly with both SATEL INTEGRA and PERFECTA panels, as well as other panels on the market, the OPAL PLUS detector provides motion detection and home automation in one device.
The dusk sensor, for OC output control, allows the detector to be used in in alarm systems with home automation, without having to install additional dusk detectors.
With dusk sensing, the system will automatically know whether it is light or dark outside meaning controlling the blinds or exterior garden lighting can be easily and conveniently managed.
Using the OPT-1 key fob, changing sensitivity of all detection circuits and dusk sensors can be done remotely eliminating the need for repeatedly opening the detector enclosure. This accurate sensitivity adjustment of the dusk sensor gives the installer the ability to define exactly when this automation kicks in.
