Optex VXS-DAM(W) Outdoor Dual Pir Motion Detector 40ft

Product Description

The OPTEX VXS-DAM(W) is an outdoor hardwired dual PIR motion detector designed for perimeter security and access control applications. This unit provides a 40-foot detection range using passive infrared sensing technology to identify movement across monitored zones. The dual-element PIR design reduces false alarm rates caused by environmental interference such as wind, small animals, or thermal changes. It is hardwired for reliable, battery-free operation and is built to withstand outdoor conditions. Licensed security installers and low-voltage electricians are the typical trade professionals who specify and install this detector in residential and light commercial settings.

The VXS-DAM(W) is suited for outdoor perimeter detection along fences, walkways, driveways, and building entrances. Its 40-foot coverage range makes it appropriate for both residential and small commercial installations where consistent outdoor motion detection is required. The hardwired connection integrates with standard security panel inputs, making it compatible with most professional alarm system architectures. Installers working on new construction or retrofit projects will find this detector straightforward to incorporate into existing low-voltage wiring schemes.

• Designed for integration with standard security panel alarm inputs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardwired outdoor PIR detector for integration with professional low-voltage security and alarm panel systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security professional in accordance with local codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Disconnect and de-energize the security panel or power supply before making any wiring connections. Mount the detector at the manufacturer-recommended height to achieve optimal coverage across the intended detection zone. Avoid positioning the unit where it faces direct sunlight or strong heat sources, as this can affect PIR sensor performance.
