Optex AX-TW200 360 Degree Dual Beam Tower Detector

Product Description

The OPTEX AX-TW200 is a dual-sided, dual-beam tower-style photoelectric detector designed for 360-degree perimeter detection coverage. The unit projects active infrared beams from both sides of a tower housing, creating a wide detection zone without requiring multiple standalone beam pairs. Security and low-voltage alarm technicians install this type of detector on commercial and residential perimeter applications where continuous, all-around coverage is required from a single mounting point. Its tower configuration keeps wiring centralized and simplifies site layout compared to conventional single-direction beam setups.

The AX-TW200 is suited for outdoor perimeter security installations where a compact tower unit must cover multiple approach angles simultaneously. Typical scenarios include gated entry areas, parking perimeters, building exterior corners, and open lot boundaries. The 360-degree detection pattern eliminates blind spots that single-axis beam detectors leave unaddressed. This product is sold as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Dual-sided beam emission provides 360-degree horizontal detection coverage from a single tower
• Tower-style housing centralizes wiring and simplifies multi-zone perimeter layouts
• Active infrared dual-beam technology reduces nuisance trips compared to single-beam designs
• Compact form factor suited for both residential gate entries and light commercial perimeters
• Sold as individual unit for flexible deployment across larger detection systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style photoelectric beam detector for use in active infrared perimeter security systems where a tower-mount, 360-degree dual-beam configuration is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable local security and electrical codes. Power down the alarm control panel and any associated power supplies before wiring the detector. Mount the tower on a stable, level surface to maintain accurate beam alignment. Do not install in locations with heavy airborne particulate or direct water spray without verifying the unit's environmental rating.
