Texecom PIR Sensors
Texecom detectors from the Capture, Premier and Veritas families sense intruders for an alarm system. Most of this page is PIR motion detection: wall-mounted Capture PIRs, anti-masking dual-tech, the LR50 long-range corridor PIR, the C15 curtain PIR, pet-tolerant detectors and Premier External TD outdoor sensors, in wired and Ricochet wireless versions. It also lists Impaq vibration and glass-break detectors and Exodus heat detectors.

Choosing Texecom PIR Sensors
Choose by the space to be protected first, then by how the detector connects to the panel.
Room PIRs and pet-tolerant models
For rooms, wall-mounted Capture PIRs such as the GDA-0001 (P15-W) and GDA-0006 cover 15m at 90° with an optional PetWise mode, and the GDB-0006 (Q20-W) is a quad PIR covering 20m at 90°. The GDH-0001 Capture PET detector is designed for homes with large pets and covers 15m at 90°. The Veritas AAA-0001 and AAC-0001 give 12m volumetric coverage with sealed optics and an interchangeable lens library.
Anti-masking, ceiling and long range
The AKE-0001 (A20 Capture) combines a quad element pyro with K-band microwave detection, covers 20m at 85° and is rated EN50131-2-4 Grade 3 with anti-masking. The GDE-0001 Capture CD-W is a ceiling-mounted dual-tech detector that runs on one CR123A lithium battery, which is included. For corridors, the Capture LR50 (AKW-0001, GDF-0001) is a 50m long-range PIR, and the Capture C15 (GDG-0001) is a curtain PIR for windows, doorways and high-value assets.
| Model | Type | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| GDA-0001 | Ricochet wireless PIR (P15-W) | 15m at 90°, PetWise |
| GDB-0006 | Ricochet wireless quad PIR (Q20-W) | 20m at 90° |
| AKE-0001 | Anti-masking dual-tech (A20) | 20m at 85°, Grade 3 |
| AKW-0001 | Long-range corridor PIR (LR50) | 50m |
| AKF-0006 | Quad element PIR (Capture CQ) | 360° to 9.3m |
Outdoor sensors and other detectors
The Premier External TD (AFQ-0001, AFQ-0002) is a purpose-built outdoor sensor with an IP65 sealed enclosure and a mounting height of 1.0-1.4m, and the wireless GBW-0002 TD-W has a selectable 12m, 8m, 5m or 2m range on 2 x AA lithium batteries, which are supplied. Beyond PIRs, the AEC-0001 glass-break detector has a 9m maximum range and a 170° detection angle, the AEA-0001 and AEA-0002 are Veritas Impaq vibration detectors, and the AGB-0003 and AGB-0004 are EN54-5 Exodus heat detectors.

Frequently asked questions
Which Texecom detectors suit homes with pets?
The GDH-0001 Capture PET detector is designed specifically for homes with large pets and covers 15m at 90°. Wall-mounted Capture PIRs such as the GDA-0001, GDA-0006 and GDB-0006 have an optional PetWise mode instead. Mounting height matters as well: the GDA-0006 has a mounting height of 1.5-3m, so fix it within that band.
What does Ricochet mean on a Texecom detector?
Ricochet is the wireless mesh technology Texecom uses for its wireless detectors. On this page the GDA-0001 (P15-W) is a Ricochet wireless PIR, the Capture LR50 has a wireless option using Ricochet mesh (GDF-0001), and the GBW-0002 Premier External TD-W outdoor sensor uses Ricochet mesh with up to 4 years of battery life from 2 x AA lithium cells.
Which Texecom detector has anti-masking?
The AKE-0001 A20 Capture is the anti-masking dual-tech detector on this page. It combines a quad element pyro with K-band microwave detection, covers 20m at 85°, offers Low Sensitivity, CloakWise and Dual Tech modes, and is rated EN50131-2-4 Grade 3. That is a higher grade than the Grade 2 rating of Capture PIRs such as the GDA-0001.
Can Texecom detectors be used outside?
Yes, the Premier External TD models are built for outdoor use. The AFQ-0001 and AFQ-0002 have an IP65 sealed enclosure, day/night mode and high white light immunity, mounted at 1.0-1.4m. The wireless GBW-0002 TD-W can also trigger gates, external lights and cameras, and has a 90° viewing angle that rotates through 180°.
