Innovative Design Meets Unsurpassed Quality in the New AX-250/500PLUS
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.

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.

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.
50msec 100msec 200msec 350msec 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% Beam 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.
