Optex: Highly Versatile Indoor Sensor
Optex FlipX Advanced sensors have a bespoke pyroelectric sensor for increased performance that adapts to the human shape, and a unique lens that can be ‘flipped’ to provide both wide and narrow detection in a single sensor. The Grade 3 sensors feature intelligent antimasking and employs advanced algorithms to ensure stable detection and reduce false alarms, making them ideal for securing high security sites including data centers, logistics centers, and banks.
By simply rotating the lens through 180°, the sensor can be used to protect narrow or long areas such as a corridor or warehouse aisles up to 24m, or a wide, open area like a lobby or a high-value retail store to 15m at 85°. This ‘flipped’ lens has been designed with flexibility in mind. It effectively gives installers two sensors in one to satisfy multiple customer demands. Built on Optex’s extensive track record of providing outstanding sensing performance for intruder detection applications, the sensors help installers to manage both their inventory and their cashflow, while giving them the versatility and confidence of arriving on site with the solution they need to match their customer’s needs.
Superior Detection Performance
The FlipX Advanced sensors feature the highest catch performance of the sensor range, making them the ideal choice for high-risk sites. With 80 detection zones and a longer detection range (up to 24m), the sensors are the perfect choice for a variety of high-security indoor applications such as banks, high-value retail stores, warehouses and high-end residential sites. The sensors feature double conductive shielding that works by filtering out any light disturbance, changes in temperature or radio frequency interference (RFI), which helps to avoid nuisance alarms.
Active Infrared Antimasking
With high security applications in mind, FlipX Advanced sensors are equipped with an infrared anti-masking function that generates a trouble signal if the detector is masked or covered. It has two independent antimasking functions – one on the lens surface and one on the microwave – so should one of them be covered, it will generate an alarm. FlipX Advanced sensors also feature a ‘super high PIR sensitivity’ mode which, when set, enables the sensors to maintain stable and highly reliable detection even when the temperature difference between the human and the environment is very small. This ensures greater catch performance for high-security, high-risk sites where missed alarms are unacceptable.
The sensors have a sleek and compact design, with flexible mounting height options (between 2–3m), so that they can seamlessly blend into building aesthetics as well as be used in buildings with higher ceilings. For quick and simple installation, FlipX Advanced has an easily viewable LED, a terminal block for easy wiring, and an EOL plug-in resistor socket.
