Satel APMD-150 Manual

The APMD-150 wireless dual motion detector is designed for operation as part of the ABAX
two-way wireless system. It is supported by the ACU-100 controller with firmware in version
1.06 or later. Microwave (MW) sensor and double pyroelectric (PIR) element are applied in
the detector design. The microwave sensor is triggered when the detector is in active state
(see the ACU-100 controller user manual, wireless detectors section), after motion is
registered by the infrared detector. The detector is characterized by high sensitivity and, at
the same time, high immunity to interference and false alarms. Sensitivity of the microwave
and infrared paths is set by radio, independently for each path. The remotely run test mode
provides for separate testing of the microwave path and the infrared path. The temperature
compensation feature makes possible operation within a broad temperature range.
Explanations for Fig. 1:
1 - CR123A 3 V lithium battery, ensuring
operation for
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 - microwave sensor.
3 - LED indicator. It lights red in the test mode
only, indicating communication with the
controller (during polling), violations (after
motion is registered by the microwave or
infrared path), and tampers.
4 - tamper contact, which responds to pull-off
from back tamper unit.
5 - pyroelement.
6 - tamper contact, which responds to opening
of the housing.
7 - antenna.
8 - fixing screw hole.
9 - screen.

1. Installation

The detector is designed for indoor installation. It can be secured to the wall, either directly or
on the attached holder.
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.
