Optex HX-40 Outdoor Pir Motion Detector 40x50 Coverage

Product Description

The OPTEX HX-40 is a passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for outdoor perimeter security applications. Mounted at 10 feet, it delivers a wide 40-by-50-foot detection coverage zone, making it well-suited for monitoring driveways, building entrances, and open exterior areas. The unit is engineered to operate reliably in outdoor conditions and is sold as a single unit. Security integrators and alarm technicians are the primary installers for this type of detector, typically as part of a broader intrusion detection or access control system.

The HX-40 is used in residential and light commercial outdoor security installations. Its coverage pattern and mounting height make it appropriate for protecting large open zones along building perimeters, parking areas, and pathways. The 10-foot mounting height is the specified installation point for achieving the rated 40-by-50-foot detection field. This detector is intended for use wherever a robust, long-range outdoor PIR sensor is required.

Key Features

• Wide 40-by-50-foot outdoor detection coverage zone
• Designed for 10-foot mounting height to achieve rated detection pattern
• Passive infrared (PIR) sensing technology for outdoor perimeter use
• Sold as a single unit (each)
• Suitable for residential and light commercial exterior security systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outdoor PIR motion detector for use in hardwired perimeter security and intrusion detection systems that accept standard PIR sensor inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed security technician or alarm systems installer. Mount the detector at 10 feet above finished grade to achieve the specified detection coverage pattern. Disconnect power to the security control panel before wiring the detector into the system. Follow local building codes and the system manufacturer guidelines for low-voltage wiring practices.
