PHOTOELECTRIC BEAM DETECTORS

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Security starts at the perimeter, or the ‘A Zone’, and
OPTEX has built its reputation on a proven first line of
defense. Our point-to-point photoelectric detection
solutions give you full protection, creating a virtual
trip wire at the perimeter. With multiple options
and features for all threat levels, including battery­powered beams that require no trenching or wiring and
tower enclosures for stacking and hiding beam height
and location, OPTEX provides you with flexibility and
choice based on your perimeter security needs.

FEATURES & VALUE

QUICK FEATURES GUIDE

Beam detection range shouldn’t be the only feature you look at when
selecting an OPTEX photobeam. Review the additional features below

to nd the right detector for your photobeam application.

“Beam alignment over long distances is troublesome.”

Solution: Sniper Viewfinder & BAU-4 Auto Alignment Unit

The Sniper viewnder includes x2 magnication over conventional
photobeam models. This allows for high visibility during the alignment
process, even over long distances. The optional BAU-4 Auto Beam
Alignment Unit automatically and accurately adjusts the optical access
to peak performance, allowing one technician the ability to align long
distances beams without additional help.

For All SL Models

“I want to stack my photobeams for added protection.”

Solution: Four Channel Selectable Beam Frequencies

Require extra protection at the
perimeter? Choose a photobeam
detector that has four channel
selectable frequency and stack two
of them on a pole or better yet, in
an AX-TW200 Beam Enclosure.

Hardwired Beam Considerations

Keeping these tips in mind will greatly reduce false and missed alarms
caused by improper installation.

Distance

The longer the distance, the bigger the voltage drop. Drops in voltage
can lead to missed and false alarms. For longer runs, use thicker gauge
wire. (Max 18 gauge)

Power Supply

When selecting your photobeam’s power supply, make sure to choose
one with the correct Amps to cover the beam’s current consumption.

Wiring

Choose the correct wiring conductor based on the outputs you want
monitored. (Tamper, Alarm, D.Q. Circuit, Power; varies by model)

Zoning

Although photobeams can be installed in series, home runs are always
recommended. This allows for easier troubleshooting and zones to be

identied when an alarm occurs.

Battery-Powered Value

Cost

In the majority of cases, applications such as utility substations and
large parking lots can be too expensive or labor intensive to trench.

“Getting power to perimeter is too expensive.”

Solution: Battery-Operated Models

To combat costly trenching and labor, or in situations where power is
not available, choose one of OPTEX’s wireless ready, battery operated
models. Mount them in the AX-TW200 beam tower for a completely
wireless and secure perimeter.

“Fog, snow, & heavy rain can be an issue at my job site.”

Solution 1 : D.Q. Output (Environmental Disqualification)

D.Q. output will send a trouble signal when the beam strength is below
acceptable levels, for more than 20-40 seconds, due to fog, snow or
heavy rain.

Solution 2 : A.T.C.P. (Automatic Transmit Power Control)

The A.T.C.P. feature automatically controls, adjusts and optimizes the
power of the beam and maintains optimal performance. It decreases false
and missed alarms caused by fog, frost, cross talk and signal saturation.

SL-350QDM

Power

Battery-Powered beams can be installed in areas where power is not
readily available, such as roof tops or remote locations.

Installation Downtime

Because of the signicant drop in installation time and the fact that no

trenching is required, end-users are less inconvenienced. Businesses
and residents can operate as usual during the install.

Flexible

In environments where storage conditions may change, such as
construction sites and storage facilities, battery-powered beam options

allow the detection area to move accordingly with minimal eort.

Upgrade

Battery-powered beam options can easily be added on to existing
security, video or access systems.
