Optex cdx-am Commercial Pir Detector Anti-masking 50x50

Product Description

The OPTEX cdx-am is a hardwired passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for commercial security installations requiring reliable human detection and active anti-masking capability. Built on the CDX product series platform, it features 82 discrete detection zones across a wide-angle field of view covering 50 x 50 feet. The detector uses OPTEX AIR (Active Infrared) technology to identify attempts to block or obscure the sensor lens. A digital MPU core platform provides consistent, accurate signal processing under varying environmental conditions.

The cdx-am is suited for commercial and light-industrial interior applications where false alarms from small animals or environmental interference must be minimized. It is typically installed in retail spaces, warehouses, office buildings, and other commercial facilities where perimeter or interior volumetric detection is required. Security integrators and licensed alarm technicians are the primary installers. The 82-zone detection field requires a minimum of 4 zone crossings to register a valid human intrusion event, reducing nuisance trips from pets or small animals.

Key Features

• 82 discrete detection zones across a 50 x 50 foot wide-angle coverage area
• Requires 4 or more zone crossings to distinguish human movement from small animal activity
• AIR (Active Infrared) anti-masking technology detects attempts to block the sensor lens
• Digital MPU CORE PLATFORM for reliable and accurate signal processing
• Differentiates between true masking and environmental masking caused by dust, temperature shifts, or direct light exposure
• Hardwired installation for permanent commercial security system integration

Compatibility

Designed for hardwired commercial alarm and access control panels that accept standard PIR detector inputs. Consult your panel documentation for voltage and end-of-line resistor requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security systems technician or alarm contractor in accordance with local codes and manufacturer mounting guidelines. Disconnect power to the alarm panel or detector loop before wiring. Mount at the manufacturer-recommended height to achieve the rated 50 x 50 foot coverage pattern. Verify anti-masking tamper circuit wiring is active and supervised at the panel for the anti-masking feature to function correctly.
