Capture D20

Capture D20 is a Grade 2 dual technology motion detector for challenging internal areas.

It is designed for spaces where a standard PIR may be more likely to suffer from nuisance activations because of airflow, temperature movement or other environmental factors.

With 20m by 85 degree coverage, quad pyro sensing, K-band microwave detection and selectable Dual Tech, PetWise and CloakWise modes, it gives installers a more resilient detector for tougher spaces.

Key Details:

  • Coverage: 20m by 85 degree volumetric coverage
  • Technology: Quad pyro and K-band microwave
  • Modes: Dual Tech, PetWise and CloakWise modes
  • Certification: EN50131-2-4 Grade 2 and UK PD6662:2017 Grade 2
  • Colour Options: White and Black
  • Part Codes: White AKD-0001, Black AKD-0006

Capture D20

Built for areas that challenge standard PIRs

Capture D20 is the detector to choose when the room is not as predictable as a normal office or lounge.

Air movement, heating changes, light industrial activity, exposed areas and mixed-use spaces can all make standard PIR detection harder to keep stable. D20 gives installers a dual technology option for those jobs.

PIR and microwave working together

The detector combines quad pyro sensing with K-band microwave detection.

That additional microwave channel helps the detector make a more informed decision before signalling an alarm. It is not about making the system complicated. It is about choosing the right detector for the environment.

Flexible modes for the job

Dual Tech, PetWise and CloakWise modes give installers more control over how the detector behaves.

This is useful when the same detector family needs to cover different room types across a site. The mode should be selected around the space, the risk and the likely causes of unwanted activations.

When Capture D20 makes sense

Capture D20 is the right choice when the site needs Grade 2 dual technology detection in a challenging internal area.

If the room is simple, Capture P15 or Q20 may be enough. If cabling is not practical, Capture D20-W provides the wireless dual technology option. If Grade 3 is required, Capture A20 is the higher-grade wall mount option.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does dual technology help most?

Dual technology helps in areas where a standard PIR may be affected by environmental movement, temperature changes, draughts or operational activity.

Does Capture D20 remove the need for careful placement?

No. Dual technology helps stability, but the detector still needs correct mounting, aiming and commissioning. A poor position can still create problems.

How is Capture D20 different from Capture Q20?

Capture Q20 is a quad PIR detector. Capture D20 adds K-band microwave detection and selectable modes, making it a better choice for more challenging spaces.

When should I choose Capture A20 instead?

Choose Capture A20 when the specification requires Grade 3 or anti-masking capability. Capture D20 is the Grade 2 dual technology option.

Can Capture D20 be mixed with standard PIRs?

Yes. A good site design often uses standard PIRs in predictable spaces and dual technology detectors only where the environment justifies them.
