Optex AX-130TN Photobeam Detector 130 Ft Outdoor IP65

Product Description

The OPTEX AX-130TN is a single-beam photoelectric detector rated for outdoor and indoor perimeter protection. It provides 130 feet of detection range in outdoor installations and 260 feet indoors, making it a capable solution for securing entry points, fence lines, loading docks, and building perimeters. The unit carries an IP65 environmental rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. Licensed security installers and alarm technicians install this type of device as part of a larger intrusion detection system, typically paired with a control panel and alarm output.

The AX-130TN is suited for both residential estate perimeters and light commercial applications where an outdoor-rated single-beam sensor is required. Indoor deployment at the extended 260-foot range supports large warehouses, atriums, and open commercial spaces. The IP65 rating makes it appropriate for covered exterior mounting locations exposed to rain, dust, and general weather conditions.

Key Features

• 130-foot outdoor detection range and 260-foot indoor detection range in a single unit
• IP65-rated enclosure resists dust ingress and water spray for outdoor use
• Single-beam photoelectric detection technology for perimeter intrusion sensing
• Sold individually as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style photobeam detector for integration with standard alarm and access control panels that accept dry-contact or relay outputs from perimeter detection devices.

Installation Notes

Installation of photobeam detectors should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage technician in accordance with local codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) where applicable. Align the transmitter and receiver units precisely on the same horizontal axis to ensure a stable beam path before securing final mounting hardware. Disable power to the detection circuit before making wiring connections. Avoid mounting the unit where direct sunlight, reflective surfaces, or heavy foliage may interfere with the beam path.
