Optex AX-200PLUS Outdoor Photobeam Detector 200 Ft

Product Description

The OPTEX AX-200PLUS is an outdoor photobeam detector with built-in surge protection, designed for perimeter security and intrusion detection applications. The unit projects an infrared beam across an open span and triggers an alarm signal when the beam path is interrupted. Rated for outdoor use, this detector is built to withstand environmental exposure. Surge protection is integrated into the unit, reducing the risk of damage from electrical transients on long perimeter cable runs. Installation is typically performed by licensed alarm or low-voltage security technicians.

The AX-200PLUS is suited for residential and light commercial perimeter security installations. Common deployment locations include driveways, fence lines, property boundaries, and building perimeters where long-range beam coverage is required. The detector is sold as a single unit and is categorized as a photobeam sensor, making it appropriate for applications where passive infrared motion detection alone is insufficient and an active beam solution is preferred.

Key Features

• Outdoor-rated photobeam detector for perimeter intrusion detection
• Built-in surge protection guards against electrical transients on extended cable runs
• 200 foot beam range suitable for wide driveways and property boundaries
• Active infrared beam technology provides reliable detection across open spans
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation photobeam detector for outdoor perimeter security systems requiring active infrared beam sensing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes. Power down the security panel and associated wiring circuits before making any connections. The transmitter and receiver heads must be precisely aligned on opposing mounting points to ensure reliable beam continuity. Protect all outdoor wiring in conduit appropriate for exterior use to maintain weatherproofing and cable integrity.
