Optex VXS-AM(W) Outdoor Hardwired Pir Motion Detector

Product Description

The OPTEX VXS-AM(W) is an outdoor hardwired passive infrared (PIR) motion detector designed for long-range perimeter detection applications. It provides a wide detection pattern suited to protecting large open areas such as parking lots, yards, and building perimeters. The VXS-AM(W) is a hardwired unit, meaning it connects directly to a security control panel or alarm system without battery dependency. Security installers and alarm technicians are the primary trades for this device.

The VXS-AM(W) is built for demanding outdoor environments where reliable, continuous PIR coverage is required. Typical installations include commercial and industrial perimeter security, large residential estates, and access control zones. Its long-range detection pattern makes it well suited for open-field or wide-area coverage where standard short-range sensors would not provide adequate protection.

Key Features

• Outdoor-rated hardwired PIR detection for perimeter and area security
• Long-range detection coverage of 40 ft x 900 ft
• Designed for continuous hardwired connection to security control panels
• Suitable for commercial, industrial, and large residential outdoor applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation unit compatible with standard hardwired security and alarm control panels that accept PIR detector inputs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down the associated control panel zone before connecting or disconnecting wiring. Mount the detector at the manufacturer-recommended height and angle to achieve the full rated detection pattern. Avoid aiming the sensor toward direct sunlight, heat sources, or reflective surfaces that may cause false triggers.
