Product Description
The Texecom AKC-0006 Capture Q20 is a wired Quad PIR motion detector rated Grade 2 to EN50131-2-2, specified for wall-mounted intruder detection in rooms, hallways and other protected internal areas.
Where it fits on a job
Grade 2 detectors are the standard choice for most residential and light commercial intruder alarm installs — houses, flats, offices, small retail units. On a typical panel-led installation, expect to pair several of these around a protected perimeter (hallways, rear rooms, ground-floor access points) alongside door contacts and a Grade 2/3 control panel, matching detector grade to the panel and monitoring requirements.
Coverage and mounting
- Detection range: up to 20m
- Coverage angle: 90°
- Mounting height: approximately 1.5m to 3m, indoors
- Sensor type: quad element pyro, for improved discrimination against false triggers
False-alarm reduction
Two features work together here: digital temperature compensation automatically adjusts sensitivity as ambient temperature shifts, and an optional PetWise mode can be enabled where domestic pets are present. Specifying PetWise correctly at install time avoids callbacks for nuisance activations on residential jobs.
Compliance
Complies with EN50131-2-2 Grade 2, relevant where the installation needs to meet recognised standards for residential or light commercial intruder systems. Housing finish is black.
Stock on this line is currently low — worth confirming availability before finalising a multi-detector schedule.
