Optex PIR VXI AM Wired Outdoor Dual

The Optex VXI-AM is a high-reliability wired outdoor passive infrared (PIR) motion detector featuring dual detection zones and active anti-masking technology. Designed for professional perimeter security, it covers a wide 12m × 90° area (extendable to 180° with side-by-side units) while minimizing false alarms from small animals, wind-blown foliage, or environmental factors—ideal for residential estates, commercial sites, or high-security boundaries.

Key Features:

• Dual-Zone Detection — Requires simultaneous activation in both upper and lower zones to trigger an alarm; significantly reduces false alarms from pets, small animals, or debris
• Active Anti-Masking — Near-lens IR sensor detects attempts to obscure, spray, or cover the lens (e.g., paint, tape, mud); separate trouble output for masking alerts
• Wide-Angle Coverage — 12m (40ft) detection range with 90° adjustable field of view; optional side-by-side mounting for 180° coverage
• Small Animal/Pet Immunity — Effective tolerance to animals up to ~40cm height (e.g., cats, small dogs) below the lower beam
• IP55 Weatherproof Rating — Dust-protected and water-jet resistant; UV-stabilized housing for harsh outdoor conditions
• Adjustable Sensitivity & Pulse Count — 1–3 pulse count settings + sensitivity trimmer for fine-tuning to the environment
• Tamper Protection — Front and back tamper switches for comprehensive sabotage detection
• Dual Alarm Outputs — Separate relays for zone-specific or combined signaling; trouble output for masking/faults
• Easy Installation — Wall or pole mount; adjustable head for precise aiming; optional rain hood available
