Optex LX-802N Outdoor Pir Motion Detector 80ft Narrow

Product Description

The OPTEX LX-802N is a long-range, narrow-beam passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for outdoor security and access-control applications. Built for exterior environments, this sensor detects motion across an 80-foot range using a narrow detection pattern, making it well-suited for corridor-style coverage, driveways, pathways, and perimeter zones where a wide-angle lens would generate nuisance triggers. Licensed security technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trade audience for this sensor.

The LX-802N is applied in residential and light commercial outdoor security systems where controlled, directional detection is required. The narrow beam pattern concentrates coverage along a defined axis, reducing false alarms from adjacent traffic or vegetation outside the target zone. Typical installations include gated entry points, building perimeters, and monitored walkways where precise detection boundaries are critical.

Key Features

• 80-foot long-range detection distance for extended outdoor coverage
• Narrow beam pattern provides directional, corridor-style detection zones
• Designed specifically for outdoor environments with weather-resistant construction
• Passive infrared technology detects body-heat signatures with no active signal emission
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outdoor PIR detector compatible with standard low-voltage security and access-control panel systems that accept passive infrared sensor inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with local electrical codes and NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 wiring. Power down the security panel or disable the associated zone before wiring or mounting the sensor. Mount the detector at the manufacturer-recommended height and angle to achieve the full 80-foot coverage pattern and minimize ground-level interference. Avoid aiming the sensor toward reflective surfaces, heat sources, or areas with heavy vegetation movement that could generate false activations.
