Optex VXS-RDAM(W) Outdoor Wireless Photobeam Receiver

Product Description

The OPTEX VXS-RDAM(W) is an outdoor wireless photobeam receiver designed for perimeter detection applications in security and access control systems. This unit functions as the receiving end of a photobeam detection pair, capturing the transmitted infrared beam and signaling an interruption event when the beam path is broken. It is engineered for outdoor installation in environments where wired runs are impractical or where retrofit installations require a cable-free solution. Licensed security integrators and alarm technicians are the primary installers of this type of device.

The VXS-RDAM(W) is suited for outdoor perimeter security installations at residential and commercial properties. Typical applications include driveway detection, gate entry monitoring, and boundary line protection where a discrete, weather-resistant detection point is required. The wireless architecture reduces installation complexity compared to hardwired beam systems, making it a practical choice for retrofit projects or locations where conduit routing is not feasible.

Key Features

• Wireless receiver design eliminates need for direct cable runs between transmitter and receiver
• Outdoor-rated construction suitable for exterior perimeter deployment
• Designed for use as part of a photobeam detection system
• Compact form factor supports discreet mounting on posts, walls, or structures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion receiver for outdoor wireless photobeam detection systems. Confirm compatibility with the corresponding OPTEX transmitter or control panel before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage technician familiar with perimeter detection systems and applicable local codes. Power down and disarm the security system before connecting or replacing any detection components. Align the receiver carefully with the paired transmitter to ensure a stable beam path, and verify weatherproof sealing of all cable entry points after mounting.
