Capture CA

Capture CA is a Grade 3 ceiling mount dual technology motion detector for high-assurance internal detection.

It is designed for spaces where ceiling mounting gives the best coverage pattern and the specification calls for stronger Grade 3 performance. That makes it useful for higher-risk commercial interiors, open areas, circulation spaces and rooms where wall mounting is not the right answer.

With 8m by 360 degree coverage, quad element pyro sensing, K-band microwave detection and Grade 3 certification, it gives installers a serious ceiling mount option for demanding sites.

Key Details:

  • Coverage: 8m by 360 degree ceiling coverage
  • Technology: Quad element pyro and K-band microwave detection
  • Modes: Low Sensitivity, CloakWise and Dual Tech modes
  • Certification: EN50131-2-4 Grade 3 and UK PD6662:2017 Grade 3
  • Mounting Type: Ceiling mount detector
  • Part Code: AKH-0001

Capture CA

Grade 3 detection from the ceiling

Capture CA is designed for projects where ceiling placement gives the best result.

Ceiling detectors are useful when wall positions are compromised by furniture, shelving, glazed areas, customer movement or the shape of the space. Capture CA gives installers a Grade 3 option for those situations, without forcing the detection plan around a poor wall position.

Useful in open and high-value internal areas

The 360 degree coverage pattern makes Capture CA a strong fit for open areas, circulation spaces, corridors that open into wider zones, offices, reception areas and higher-value internal spaces.

The detector can monitor movement around the protected area from a central position, which can be cleaner and more effective than trying to aim a wall detector across a difficult room.

Dual technology for tougher spaces

Capture CA combines quad element pyro sensing with K-band microwave detection.

That helps in areas where environmental movement, temperature shifts or layout challenges could affect a simpler detector. The Low Sensitivity, CloakWise and Dual Tech modes give installers more control when tuning the detector to the site.

When Capture CA makes sense

Capture CA is the right choice when the project needs Grade 3 ceiling mount detection with dual technology performance.

If the site needs Grade 3 wall mount detection, Capture A20 is the better fit. If the job only needs Grade 2 ceiling coverage, Capture CQ or Capture CD may be more suitable depending on the environment.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use Capture CA instead of a wall mount detector?

Use Capture CA when ceiling placement gives better coverage than a wall position. This is common in open areas, spaces with awkward furniture layouts or rooms where wall mounting would leave blind spots.

What makes Capture CA a Grade 3 option?

Capture CA is certified to EN50131-2-4 Grade 3 and UK PD6662:2017 Grade 3. That makes it suitable where the system specification calls for higher-assurance ceiling mount detection.

How is Capture CA different from Capture CQ?

Capture CA is the Grade 3 dual technology ceiling detector. Capture CQ is a Grade 2 ceiling PIR option. Choose CA when the specification requires Grade 3 or when the environment justifies dual technology and anti-masking capability.

Can ceiling placement reduce installation problems?

Yes, when the room layout suits it. Ceiling mounting can avoid furniture, shelving and wall obstructions, but it still needs careful positioning to match the coverage plan.

What is the installer pitfall with ceiling detectors?

The common mistake is treating 360 degree coverage as a reason to place the detector anywhere. The detector still needs to sit where movement crosses the detection pattern properly and where airflow or heat sources are not likely to cause instability.
