Optex HX-80N Long Narrow Range Pir Motion Detector

Product Description

The OPTEX HX-80N is a wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detector engineered for long, narrow detection zones in high-mount applications. Designed for commercial and residential security installations, it provides reliable occupancy sensing along corridors, aisles, and similar elongated spaces where a standard wide-angle sensor would generate false triggers or miss activity. The high-mount design allows installers to position the unit overhead, maximizing coverage along the target detection path without interference from adjacent areas. Security integrators and licensed alarm technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The HX-80N is suited for interior applications where a narrow, extended detection corridor is required. Typical install scenarios include warehouse aisles, retail shelving rows, long hallways, and parking structure lanes. Its wireless operation reduces wiring labor and makes it practical for retrofit projects where running new cable is not feasible. The unit ships as a single piece (sold individually) and falls within the wireless PIR sensor category.

Key Features

• Long narrow detection pattern optimized for corridor and aisle coverage
• High-mount design for overhead installation positioning
• Wireless operation eliminates need for dedicated signal wiring
• Passive infrared sensing technology for reliable motion detection
• Sold as individual unit for flexible deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wireless PIR detector for use in compatible wireless security and access control systems. Refer to system documentation to confirm receiver and panel compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the manufacturer product manual. Power down or de-energize the receiving panel before pairing or mounting the sensor. Mount the unit at the recommended overhead height to achieve the specified narrow detection corridor. Avoid aiming the sensor toward heat sources, HVAC vents, or windows, as these can cause false triggers with PIR technology.
