AGATE

AGATE is an outdoor curtain motion detector which belongs to the group of perimeter protection devices. It is ideally suited for use both on the outside of the protected building, and in the interiors where difficult or specific environmental conditions prevail (in halls, shelters, sheds etc.). The AGATE detector has two motion detection circuits ‒ PIR and MW, and uses active IR anti-masking (for indoor use). Thus, it meets the high security requirements specified in EN 50131 for Grade 3: the detector can be used to protect the interiors of medium to high risk premises, like banks, museums, jewelry stores, etc.

The dual technology, in conjunction with the algorithm of detector auto-tuning to the environmental conditions, provides high immunity to false alarms and hence stable operation in harsh weather conditions, such as rain, snow, sunshine and strong gusts of wind. The device offers correct performance in a wide range of temperatures from -40°C to +55°C, the ambient temperature changes being automatically compensated.

The AGATE curtain detector is characterized by a narrow detection angle of only 10 degrees and a range of 14 m. At that distance, the detection area (curtain) has a width of approx. 1 m. Sensitivity of the detection circuits is controlled by two independent potentiometers located on the detector electronics board.

What is also unique is the device enclosure, which is made using the two-component injection molding technology. The thus received splash-proof, IP54 rated design protects the AGATE electronics against harmful atmospheric phenomena. In addition, the detector enclosure has high mechanical strength and is resistant to UV radiation.

Design of the AGATE detector enables it to be mounted directly on a flat surface. The detector can also be mounted using a dedicated angle bracket (at fixed 90° inclination angle). When installing the detector inside the building, you can also use adjustable brackets such as BRACKET A oraz BRACKET B.

When it is required to move the detector away from the wall, at a distance of even by over a dozen centimeters, it is worth using the BRACKET E modular bracket. Especially if there is a gutter or lamp in the vicinity of the device, which can limit the full range of the device detection field. A special insert for AGATE / AOCD-260 detectors allows their installation also using BRACKET A and BRACKET B brackets (recommended for indoor installation).

All listed brackets are adapted for wall and ceiling mounting. In addition, BRACKET E and BRACKET B have an enclosed design that makes it easier to hide the cable, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the installation.
