Spec Sheet

OPTEX succeeded to strengthen the basic performance and ability of photoelectric detector to reduce false alarms
under severe outdoor environments.
The rubber packing for wiring hole prevents rain, dust, and tiny insects from getting into the unit and the widely
designed optical pitch maximizes the detection principle of twin beam.
Rubber packing is used for all
conceivable points where water or
dust may penetrate, such as wiring
holes, wire ports and the outer
chassis. Prevention from dust, bugs
and water delivers performance with
higher reliability against false alarms
and breakdowns.
5 degrees of water conditions were
used to evaluate the protection
against water
Tests were conducted using a water
jet stream that applied 12.5
liters/min of water at a distance of
approximately 3 meters for roughly 3
minutes. This test was directly
applied to the chassis of the AX-TN
and TF series.
The tests resulted with the AX-TN/TF
unit undamaged due to the highly
durable IP65 rated structure. It aids
in the prevention of water damage to
the unit while keeping the detector
operating accurately in outdoor
environments.
An improved Electro-Magnetic Interference surge absorber and high
surge resistive relay has been installed to protect from lightning surges
and maintain stable operation.

□ Anti-frost hood cover
A hood is installed to prevent frost forming on lower beams. It also makes
the maintenance easy because the surface of the cover is flat.
□ A.G.C.
(
Automatic Gain Control
)
Circuit
A.G.C. circuit continually monitors for gradual changes in the signal's strength
caused by changing weather conditions. It adjusts the sensitivity accordingly
to maintain the proper signal level for the current environmental conditions.
□ 99% beam blocking stability
Enables stable operation with as much as 99% loss of beam energy
caused by heavy rain, dust storms, fog or snow.
□ High grade spherical lens
The high grade spherical lens creates more sharply defined & precise
infrared beams compared to ordinary fresnel lenses.
□ Easy angle adjustment
It allows the installer to finely adjust the beam easily.
[ Horizontally ±90° with hand ]
[ Vertically ±5° with screwdriver ]
□ Adjustable beam interruption period
The beam interruption time can be adjusted to fit any application. For
example, when protecting a wall or fence, a longer interruption time will
catch intruders.

The selectable beam frequencies can be used to avoid unwanted
crosstalk that can occur when using multiple photobeams for long
distance or beam stacking applications.
D.Q. circuit (environmental disqualification) sends a trouble signal when
the beam strength is below and acceptable level due to heavy fog, rain,
snow or other changes in the installation site. The trouble signal output
continues as long as the beam strength is below an acceptable level.
