CX-502AM PIR detector

April 2008 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

The Optex CX-502 AM passive infrared detector is infused with the world's first Multi Anti-Masking Technology.

The unit is uniquely designed with integrated technology that provides the widest range of protection against any form of masking, including a sensor with the highest degree of reliability that detects invisible and black spray, transparent tape and even black paper.

Features include a self-checking function to ensure that the unit is working properly. When several detectors have been connected in the same alarm loop, the initial alarm memory function indicates which detector was activated first by using a flickering LED.

Stable detection performance is due to the detection pattern that maintains its sensitivity throughout the detected area, even in high temperature and low contrasting environments. The unit's Quad Zone Logic allows it to detect the smallest temperature contrast against the background temperature. The vertical detection density can pick up 'dead zones' created by furniture or partitions. The advanced temperature compensation also increases detection capability according to the high temperature conditions where the background temperature is similar to that of the human body.
