AP series: recess-mount sensors for security and building/home automation

30 November 2023
This month we introduce the AP series, a range of recessed mount indoor motion detectors for indoor security and home/building automation.

The AP Series is our new range of ultra-compact and discrete recess-mount detectors which can seamlessly blend with its surroundings and detect movement, making them ideal for indoor security and building/ home automation.

The series caters to diverse detection needs with two specialised ranges. The AP-360B/BR offers 360-volumetric detection, making it ideal for open spaces such as reception areas and open-plan offices where comprehensive coverage is essential. On the other hand, the AP-20NB/NBR specialises in curtain-type narrow detection, providing targeted monitoring for specific areas near windows or narrow aisles. This choice of models ensures that users can choose the sensor that aligns better with their unique challenges and requirements.

Automatic lighting and other home/building automation applications offer great convenience and energy efficiency. When a person enters a room or area, the AP sensor detects their movement and triggers the lights to turn on. This eliminates the need for manual switches and ensures that air conditioning or lights are only on when needed, resulting in energy savings and reduced electricity costs.

Discrete installation

In addition to its compact size, the recess mount installation ensures that the AP sensors fit discretely into the wall or ceiling. From residential living rooms to modern office spaces, the sensors unassuming presence conceals a robust technology that keeps spaces secure and automated without dominating the visual landscape.

We also offer a recess-mount with an 86-type box installation using the included decorative plate. To further adapt seamlessly in any site, the AP sensors have a flexible mounting height of 2.5m to 4.5m.

Selectable sensitivity to adapt to ambience conditions

In all of the AP series models, the detection sensitivity can be set to low, medium or high. This adjustment determines how easily the sensor will trigger an alarm or activate a device in response to detected motion, with the choice of sensitivity options you can help the sensor adapt to the ambient conditions and prevent false triggers.

Wireless models and energy saving mode

In battery-operated models (AP-360BR and AP-20NBR) it is possible to enable the Battery Saving Timer with a choice between 5 seconds to 120 seconds (default), which helps to significantly reduce power consumption and maximise lifespan of the battery.
