Photoelectric detector range

Optex, a Japanese-based manufacturer of motion detectors, has introduced its new range of photoelectric detectors, which are available locally from Elvey Security Technologies.

The photoelectric detectors: AX-70TN/130TN/200TN and AX-100TF/200TF are compact in design with an IP rating of 65 ensuring high durability and accurate optical alignment performance.

'Durability' and 'accuracy of optical alignment' are the most basic performance features for outdoor detectors and are used for severe outdoor environmental conditions. At the same time, these are the most important features. By reassessing these features, Optex has improved the basic performance of photoelectric detectors and have developed the AX-TN and TF series.

The AX-TN Series is a standard model with detection ranges of 20 m (AX-70TN), 40 m (AX-130TN) and 60 m (AX-200TN). By utilising rubber packing for all conceivable points, it prevents rain, dust, and tiny insects from getting into the unit. Also, the widely designed optical pitch maximises the detection principle of the twin beam.

The AX-TF Series is an enhanced model of the AX-TN Series with detection ranges of 30 m (AX-100TF) and 60 m (AX-200TF). These models utilise the IP65 durability rating and boast a well designed optical pitch. The beams also provide highly accurate optical alignment utilising LED indicators.

These advanced features drastically reduce false alarms caused by severe outdoor environmental changes and provide a wide range of applications for both residential and industry functions.

In order to increase the effectiveness of a security system, Optex recommends not only securing the inside of the building but also adding surveillance to the perimeter of the property. The newly developed short-range photoelectric detectors from Optex offers enhanced outdoor surveillance that is capable of forestalling unauthorised entry into a building.
