Photoelectric Detectors Improved with OPTEX Innovation to Provide Advanced Performance in Outdoor Detection.

 

OPTEX Photoelectric Detectors with Innovative Features for Easy Installation Provide Stable Performance against False Alarms for More Effective Outdoor Detection and Non Security Applications.

 

The OPTEX AX-100/200 Photoelectric Detector Series is the next step in Outdoor Detection and will satisfy all the needs of both users and installers.  OPTEX unique technology and design provide a wide range of functions that greatly simplify installation and maintain reliable performance even in many adverse weather or environmental conditions.

 

Reliable Technology from OPTEX Provides All the Outdoor Security You Need

 

 

STANDARD VERSION

AX-100/200 PLUS

 

 

1.QUICK OPTICAL ALIGNMENT

 

Alarm Indication LED in Viewfinder

 

The alarm condition is visually  displayed using an alarm indication LED which is visible on the front of the unit and can also be seen  through the viewfinder.

 

 

LED is "ON"

Beam energy from the transmitter is not reaching the receiver.

 

LED is "OFF"

Beam energy from transmitter is reaching the receiver.

 

Fine Adjustment

 

(Note: Fine adjustment must always be done with a Volt Meter - See Installation Instructions.)

 

Clear Viewfinder Visibility

A conveniently placed viewfinder allows for easy alignment even in some of the most difficult mounting situations.

 

Fine Angle Adjustment for Alignment

The rotating dial allows the installer to finely adjust the beam easily either horizontally (180°/±90°) or vertically (10°/±5°) with or without the use of a screwdriver (finger adjustable).

 

2. RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

 

Lightning & Surge Protection

An improved EMI surge absorber and high surge resistiveness relay will maintain stable operation even in the most lightning prone areas.

 

Lightning Protection Level

 

Will remain stable against over 14kV of lightning surge.

Rain, Dust & Insect Protection

(kV)

 

The Rubber O-Ring & Rubber Grommets used in the AX-100/200PLUS & ALPHA Series prevent rain, dust and tiny insects from adversely affecting performance. (IP55)

Some product parts in the photo on the right appear transparent for photographic purposes.

 

Frost & Dew Protection

 

An anti-frost and convex visor design is incorporated to protect the detector from effect of frost & dew.

 

High Grade Aspherical Lens

 

The high grade aspherical lens creates more sharply defined & precise infrared beams compared to ordinary fresnel lenses.

Twin Synchronized Pulsed Beams

 

Designed for Greater Stability

 

"And Gate" dual beams require simultaneous interruption of both beams to

trigger an activation.  No activation is generated when a bird or falling

leaves break just one beam.

 

 

99.5% Beam Blocking Stability

 

Enables stable operation with as much as 99.5% loss of beam energy caused by heavy rain, dust storms, fog or snow.

 

A.G.C. (Automatic Gain Control) Circuit

 

The A.G.C. Circuit continually monitors for gradual changes in the signal's strength caused by changing weather conditions. It adjusts the sensitivity accordingly to maintain the proper signal level for the current environmental conditions.

 

Adjustable Beam Interruption Period

The Beam Interruption Time (the amount of time a beam must be broken for an alarm to occur) can be adjusted to fit any application.  For example, when protecting a wall or fence, a longer interruption time will catch intruders, but let jumping cats pass through without setting off an alarm.

AX-100/200 ALPHA

 

3 Step LED Indicator for Fast and

 

Accurate Fine Beam Alignment

 

The alignment condition is visually displayed on the front and in the viewfinder of the receiver.  Verification of alignment is achieved by using the 3-step process shown below.

 

LED is "ON"

: Before alignment.

 

LED is "Flickering"

: Beam energy from transmitter is reaching receiver.

 

LED is "OFF"

: Ready for fine tuning.

 

(Note: Fine adjustment must always be done with a Volt Meter - See Installation Instructions.)

 

Selectable 4-Channel Beam Frequencies

The selectable beam frequencies can be used to avoid unwanted cross talk that can occur when using multiple photobeams for long distance or beam stacking applications.
