New panoramic outdoor detector from OPTEX

Introducing OPTEX WX Infinity and WX Shield series, a new ranges of outdoor PIRs that offer panoramic 180° detection coverage and 12m radius to detect any intrusion around a residential or commercial building.
WX Infinity series and WX Shield series are built upon OPTEX’s extensive track record in providing outstanding sensing performance for outdoor intruder detection applications, while the wide (180°) detection area coverage brings a feature that is ideal for protecting larger residential grounds and flat roofs.

WXI series
The WX Infinity series comprises two wired and two wireless models available either as the standard or anti-masking version.
The WXI sensors can provide two, independent 90° 12m detection areas, one for the left side and one for the right. Sensitivity and alarm output can be set up independently for these left and right areas. For instance, the left output can trigger for a simple awareness alarm while the right side output prompts CCTV camera system to set an event index.
Area-masking shutter allows a sliding mechanism to quickly mask an area and makes the detection area narrower to avoid obstructions such as swaying vegetation. The set-up procedure has been made easier by including an automatic walk test mode to ensure a quicker and more accurate installation.
The WXI motion sensors benefit from OPTEX’s sensing analytics that filter out noises that are common in outdoor environments, and also distinguishes between humans and small- to medium-sized animals. The sensors also include temperature compensation and double conductive shielding to ensure best performance in sunny and hot outdoor environments. All WX Infinity models feature a tamper-proof back panel and the anti-masking models (WXI-AM/ WXI-RAM).

WXS series
The WX Shield series provides flexible range detection and settings, as well as a selectable low (0,8 – 1,2m) or high mount (2m) option. Like in WX Infinity the sensors feature two completely independent 90 degrees detection areas.

WXS comprises two PIR models and two dual-tech models. The dual technology (available in WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM) combines PIR and microwave technology which provides the ultimate stability in detection performance and is ideal for applications where strong sunlight hits the land or car headlights shine directly into the sensor.
WXS series is equipped with self-learning IR and intelligent anti-masking. The sensors are also equipped with the Shield advanced features including double conductive shielding to avoid false alarms triggered by bright sunlight or RFI, automatic walk test and 5-year warranty.
“Outdoor warning technology can help prevent crimes by detecting and reporting intruders before they attempt to break into a building,” says Jacek Wójcik, OPTEX Managing Director, Central and Eastern Europe. “Early intrusion detection is what OPTEX has been focusing on for the last 40 years by delivering an extensive line-up of outdoor intruder detection sensors that provide reliable outdoor security.”
