Satel APD-100 Manual

The APD-100 wireless passive infrared detector is designed for operation as part of the ABAX two-way wireless
system. The signal from pyroelement is processed digitally. The detector is characterized by a high interference
immunity. Operating parameters of the detector (sensitivity and in the detector with firmware version 2.01
enabling/disabling the option of immunity to animals up to 15 kg in weight) are programmable by radio.
Note: The APD-100 detector with firmware version 2.01, is supported by the ACU-100 controller with firmware
version 1.07 or later (it cannot be registered in the controllers having older versions of firmware).
Explanations for Fig. 1:
1 - CR123A 3 V lithium battery, ensuring operation for
approx. 3-year period. The detector controls the battery
status. When the voltage drops to 2.6 V, the "low
battery" information is sent to the controller. The low
battery signaling continues until the battery is replaced.
2 - antenna.
3 - LED indicator. It lights red in the test mode only,
indicating communication with the controller (during
polling), violations and tampers.
4 - pyroelement.
5 - tamper contact, which responds to opening of the
housing.
6 - tamper contact, which responds to pull-off from the
back tamper unit.
7 - positioning scale.
8 - fixing screw hole.
9 - screen.

NSTALLATION
Before mounting the detector permanently, check the level of signal received from the detector
by the ACU-100 controller and, if necessary, change the place of installation so that the location
is optimal in terms of communication.
Install the battery inside the detector just before registering it in the controller. If unregistered or
having no communication with the controller, the detector will consume more energy, which will
reduce the battery life.
It is advisable to be particularly careful during installation so as not to foul up or damage the
pyroelement.
In APD-100 with firmware version 2.01, if the pet immunity option is to be enabled, the detector
cannot be mounted on the holder.
1. Open the housing.
2. Install the battery and add the detector to the wireless system (see the ACU-100 controller user manual).
A label with 7-digit serial number that should be entered during registration of the detector in the system is
provided on the screen on the electronics board.
3. Select the place where the detector is to be installed and attach it there temporarily.
4. Check the level of signal reaching the controller from the detector. If necessary, select another place for

installation.

5. Having selected the place which ensures the optimum signal level, remove the electronics board from
the housing.
6. Attach the back tamper unit directly to the wall or to the holder screwed down to the wall or ceiling
(see Fig. 2).
7. Fasten the rear part of the housing to the back tamper unit (see Fig. 2).
