External sensing you can depend upon

Part of the Shield family, the WXS series is OPTEX's latest 180° outdoor intrusion detection sensors with flexible range detection and settings, as well as a selectable low (0.8 - 1.2m) or high mount (2m) option and self-learning IR digital anti-masking.

Features

  • Selectable mounting height
  • 4PIR + 2MW technology (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)
  • Stability against light disturbance (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)
  • Individual detection area size (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)
  • Panoramic triple layer detection (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)
  • Individual sensitivity setting
  • Individual alarm outputs
  • Self-learning IR digital anti-masking function
  • Blue Touch
  • Day /night mode
  • Area masking shutter
  • Area masking plate
  • SMDA (Super Multidimensional Analysis) logic

Selectable mounting height


WXS series can be installed at 2.0 m (6'7") high, it’s effective to avoid vandalism or masking of lens. In this case, PIR detection distance is fixed as max. 9 m (30').

4PIR + 2MW technology (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)


The PIR & microwave detection range, sensitivity, alarm output can be set separately for the left and right detection areas which provides more flexibility of detection area settings with great reliability against false alarms.

Self-learning IR digital anti-masking function


WXS series detect covering objects on lens surface. IR digital anti-masking function optimizes trigger level of trouble outputs generated by masking depends on status of lens surface. A well-calibrated adjustment for both of emitting and receiving level of IR LED fluctuating by temperature contributes to stable anti-masking.

Stability against light disturbance (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only))


WXS series integrated algorithm of both PIR and Microwave provides the ultimate stability in detection performance. In a field where strong sun hits the land or facing direct light beams from traffic.

Individual detection area size (WXS-DAM and WXS-RDAM only)


Detection distance can be easily adjusted between 2.5 m (8 ft) and 12 m (40 ft) by left and right sliding lower PIR units and DIP switch setting of MW sensitivity individually.

Area masking shutter


By rotary sliding area masking shutter, the size of detection areas can be changed.

Area masking plate


Unwanted detection areas can be masked by included area masking plate.

Double conductive shielding


By using our double conductive shielding, the visible light disturbance and RFI can be blocked.

SMDA (Super Multi Dimension Analysis) logic


By analyzing detection patterns and environmental information, SMDA improves immunity against various noise factors such as climate changes and vegetation sways, and can distinguish between the cause of nuisance false alarms and genuine intrusions.

Double-layered detection patterns


Two double-layered detection patterns (upper and lower) both have to be activated to generate an alarm condition. This reduces false alarms, particularly those caused by temperature changes, light reflection and small animals.
