Capture D20-W

Capture D20-W is a wireless Grade 2 dual technology motion detector for challenging areas where cabling is difficult.
It is designed for upgrades, takeovers and extensions where the installer needs the resilience of dual technology detection but cannot justify disruptive cable runs to the ideal position.
With 20m by 85 degree coverage, quad pyro sensing, K-band microwave detection and Ricochet wireless mesh technology, it gives installers a strong wireless option for difficult spaces.

Key Details:

  • Coverage: 20m by 85 degree volumetric coverage
  • Technology: Quad pyro and K-band microwave
  • Modes: Dual Tech, PetWise and CloakWise modes
  • Wireless: Ricochet wireless mesh technology
  • Certification: EN50131-2-4 Grade 2
  • Part Codes: White GDC-0001, Black GDC-0006

Capture D20-W

Dual technology where cable is the problem

Capture D20-W is for spaces where the environment calls for dual technology detection, but the building makes cabling awkward. That is common on retrofits. The area that needs the better detector is often the same area where cable access is worst. D20-W helps installers specify the right detector without letting the cable route drive the design.

Useful for extensions and finished interiors

D20-W is useful in finished properties, upgraded commercial spaces, extensions and mixed-use areas where disturbance needs to be kept low. It allows the installer to improve detection stability without surface wiring or disruptive works that the customer may not accept.

Still needs proper commissioning

Wireless dual technology gives flexibility, but it is not a shortcut. The detector still needs to be positioned and commissioned correctly. Microwave range, PIR coverage, possible heat sources and movement patterns all need to be considered if the system is going to behave properly after handover.

When Capture D20-W makes sense

Capture D20-W is the right choice when the site needs wireless dual technology detection in a challenging area. If the room is predictable, Capture P15-W or Q20-W may be enough. If cabling is practical, wired Capture D20 is the cleaner option. If Grade 3 is needed, look at the appropriate Grade 3 wired options.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose Capture D20-W?

Choose Capture D20-W when the area needs dual technology detection, but wiring the ideal detector position would be disruptive or impractical.

How is Capture D20-W different from Capture Q20-W?

Capture Q20-W is a wireless quad PIR. Capture D20-W adds K-band microwave detection, making it better suited to spaces where environmental conditions could affect a PIR-only detector.

Does wireless dual technology reduce false alarms automatically?

No. It supports better stability when correctly specified, but placement and commissioning still matter. The wrong location can still cause callouts.

Can D20-W be used alongside wired detectors?

Yes. Many systems use wired detectors where cable routes are practical and wireless detectors where placement or disruption is the issue.

What is the installer pitfall with D20-W?

Do not treat wireless as permission to mount anywhere. The detector still needs a stable position, clean field of view and proper walk testing across the protected area.
