A curtain detector throws a narrow vertical beam, 6 degrees wide by 90 degrees tall, rather than a wide room-covering fan. That lets you protect the plane of a window or a doorway while leaving the space behind it completely uncovered.

Built for the installer

The application that sells it is perimeter-armed occupancy: the customer wants the windows and patio doors protected while people move freely inside. A standard PIR cannot do that. A curtain detector mounted at the opening can.

It uses two PIR sensors with a detection range of about 19.7 to 49 feet depending on configuration. Mount it upside down to stop it reacting to domestic animals at floor level. Battery life is up to 3 years, shorter than the standard detectors, so factor that into a service schedule.

Key features

  • 6-degree horizontal beam protects a window plane without covering the room behind it
  • Enables perimeter-armed occupancy, the customer stays in while the openings stay protected
  • Two PIR sensors with detection from roughly 19.7 to 49 ft
  • Mount inverted for pet tolerance at floor level
  • Three sensitivity levels adjustable in the app

System requirements

Requires an Ajax hub or range extender. Install upside down to avoid reacting to domestic animals. Battery life is up to 3 years, shorter than standard detectors.

FAQs

What is a curtain detector for?
Protecting a plane rather than a volume. The narrow 6-degree beam covers a window or doorway line, so the openings can be armed while people move freely in the room behind.
How do I stop it detecting pets?
Install the detector upside down. That orients the beam so it does not react to domestic animals moving at floor level.
Why is the battery life shorter than other detectors?
It runs two PIR sensors rather than one. Calculated life is up to 3 years against 5 to 7 years on the single-sensor detectors, so build that into the service schedule.
Does this device need an Ajax hub?
Yes. All Jeweller devices report to an Ajax hub or a range extender. The device cannot operate standalone and does not connect to a third-party panel directly.
What does the 9NA region code mean?
It is the North America model, operating on the 905.0-926.5 MHz Jeweller band certified to UL/ULC standards. European models on 868 MHz are not interchangeable with it.
How quickly is a lost device detected?
Within 36 seconds. Jeweller polls each device continuously, so a jammed, removed or failed device is reported rather than quietly going offline.
