Optex WXI-RAM Outdoor Pir Motion Sensor 40ft 180 Degree

Product Description

The OPTEX WXI-RAM is a battery-powered passive infrared (PIR) outdoor motion sensor designed for perimeter detection and security applications. Operating without a hardwired power source, this unit relies on battery power for flexible placement in locations where running conduit or low-voltage wiring is not practical. It provides a 40-foot detection range with a 180-degree field of view, making it suited for wide-area coverage along building exteriors, fence lines, or access points. Security integrators and licensed alarm technicians are the typical installers for this type of device.

This sensor is intended for outdoor PIR security installations in residential and light commercial environments. Its battery-powered design allows mounting in locations that lack convenient access to hardwired power, such as remote gate posts, detached structures, or perimeter walls. The 180-degree coverage pattern is appropriate for corner or flat-wall mounting where broad detection coverage is required. Refer to current OPTEX documentation for full system integration details, as this part has been noted as discontinued by the supplier.

Key Features

• 180-degree field of view suitable for broad flat-wall or corner mounting
• Battery-powered operation eliminates the need for hardwired low-voltage wiring runs
• Passive infrared (PIR) detection technology for reliable motion sensing
• Designed for outdoor use in security and perimeter detection applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit unit for outdoor PIR security detection systems. Consult current OPTEX compatibility documentation to confirm integration with specific alarm control panels or receiver modules.

Installation Notes

Installation of outdoor PIR motion sensors is typically performed by licensed security or low-voltage alarm technicians in accordance with local codes. Before servicing or replacing any existing sensor, disable the associated alarm zone at the control panel to prevent false triggers. Mount the sensor at the manufacturer-recommended height and angle to achieve the rated detection pattern. Avoid positioning the sensor where it will face direct sunlight, heat sources, or moving vegetation, as these can cause nuisance activations.
