AX-500PLUS.
Built to take the worst. With over 14kV surge protection, impact
resistant covers, and more than 99% beam tolerance, these detectors
withstand the most severe environmental conditions. Extra large dual
beams are used to provide the greatest protection against false alarms
caused by birds, falling leaves, and other disturbances. These beams
have everything you need for a quality installation, including a form
C relay and Conduit knockouts, as well as optional heaters, back
covers, and beam towers.

Innovative Design Meets
Unsurpassed Quality in the New AX-250/500 Plus
The Photoelectric Beams of OPTEX's AX-250/500PLUS Series
combine precise detection capability with increased reliability providing
superior outdoor detection.
A dual beam design incorporates synchronized pulsed signals, and an
adjustable beam interruption time can virtually eliminate unwanted activation. A
high level of detection accuracy will be maintained, no matter how harsh the
environment.
The AX-250/500PLUS will automatically compensate for changes in the surrounding
conditions. The advanced mechanical design allows for easy installation and
set-up providing long-term reliability, ideal for today's outdoor security
systems.

Features
|
- Lightning & Surge
Protection
An improved EMI surge absorber and high surge resistiveness relay
will maintain stable operation even in the most lightning prone areas.
- A.G.C. (Automatic
Gain Control) Circuit
The 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.
- Reliability Chart for
Outdoor Protection
Specially designed to eliminate various causes of outdoor false
alarms.

- Adjustable Beam Interruption Period
Beam interruption time can be adjusted according to the peculiarities of
each installation site. When protecting a wall or fence, a long interruption
time will catch intruders, but let jumping cats pass through. Adjustable
from 50 to 500msec.
- Twin Synchronized Pulsed Beams Designed for
Greater Stability
"And Gate" dual beams require simultaneous interruption of both
beams to trigger an activation. No activation is generated when a bird or
falling leaves break just one beam.
- 99% Blocking Rate
Stable operation is maintained with as much as 99% of the beam's energy
blocked by heavy rain, dust storms, snow or fog.
- Anti-Frost Design
- Stainless Steel Screws & Back Plate
- Knock-Outs for 1/2 Inch Conduit
- Form C Relay Providing More Flexibility
