Optex BX-80N Outdoor Pir Motion Detector 80x40 4 Zone

Product Description

The OPTEX BX-80N is an outdoor passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for perimeter security and intrusion detection applications. It features an 80-foot by 40-foot detection coverage pattern divided into four independent detection zones, allowing for precise motion sensing across a wide area. The unit is configured for wall-mount installation and is suited for exterior mounting positions where broad horizontal coverage is needed. Licensed security technicians and alarm installation professionals are the primary trades that specify and install this detector in both residential and light commercial settings.

The BX-80N is built for outdoor wall-mount deployment, making it appropriate for entry points, building perimeters, parking areas, and open yard coverage zones. Its four-zone detection architecture allows installers to tailor sensitivity and coverage to the specific site layout, reducing false alarm events caused by environmental interference. This detector is typically integrated into hardwired security alarm panels as a zone input device.

Key Features

• 80-foot by 40-foot detection coverage pattern for wide-area perimeter sensing
• Four independent detection zones for precise, configurable motion detection
• Outdoor-rated wall-mount design for exterior installation
• Passive infrared sensing technology with no active signal emission
• Single-unit packaging for individual zone replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation PIR detector compatible with standard hardwired security alarm panel zone inputs. No specific panel model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this listing.

Installation Notes

Installation of the BX-80N should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage security technician in accordance with applicable local codes. Disconnect power to the alarm panel zone input before wiring the detector. Mount the unit at the manufacturer-recommended height to achieve the full 80-foot by 40-foot coverage pattern. Avoid positioning the detector where it will face direct sunlight, HVAC discharge, or other strong heat sources that can trigger false activations.
