Optex AX-200TN Outdoor Dual Beam Detector

Product Description

The OPTEX AX-200TN is an outdoor dual beam photoelectric detector designed for perimeter security and intrusion detection applications. It uses two synchronized infrared beams to monitor a defined zone, reducing false alarms caused by small animals, debris, or environmental interference that would trigger a single-beam device. The dual beam design requires both beams to be interrupted simultaneously before triggering an alarm output, improving detection reliability in demanding outdoor environments. This type of detector is installed by security system integrators, alarm technicians, and licensed low-voltage contractors as part of a broader perimeter or access control system.

The AX-200TN is suited for outdoor perimeter protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical installations include fence lines, gate entries, building perimeters, and open-area boundaries where reliable intrusion detection is required across an extended range. Its outdoor-rated construction makes it appropriate for use in environments exposed to weather, temperature variation, and ambient light changes.

Key Features

• Dual infrared beam design reduces nuisance alarms compared to single-beam detectors
• Outdoor-rated construction for perimeter and boundary protection applications
• Designed for integration into hardwired security and alarm systems
• Sold as an individual unit for flexible system configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style perimeter photoelectric beam detector for use in outdoor security systems requiring dual beam infrared detection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems contractor in accordance with local codes and the manufacturer guidelines. Power down the security panel and any connected zone inputs before making wiring connections. Align transmitter and receiver units carefully on a stable, vibration-free mounting surface to maintain consistent beam path integrity. Refer to the manufacturer product manual for detailed alignment, sensitivity adjustment, and wiring procedures before commissioning.
