Racal Guardall motion detectors

[CH®IS]

Looking for a little info on Racal Guardall motion detectors. I have one
from a takeover we did last week, and am wondering how old it is.

It's the "Apollo C" model, batch number 8814, which somewhat resembles this
pic (best one I could find at the moment)...

Any info would be appreciated, despite the fact that this thing is already
half way into a garbage can.

The Apollo C is probably one of the best motion detectors I've ever
worked with. Chubb sold them exclusively to the residential and light
commercial markets (which is how I was introduced to the product) in
Canada. SSI-2000 (a distributor that eventually "merged" with
Burtek/ADI years ago) used to handle them, but they were on the
expensive side (and consequently not very popular).
