General Features

• Sensor Type: Photoelectric beam sensor (active infrared)
• Detection Range:
  • Up to 50 meters (depending on model)
  • Can cover larger areas, ideal for outdoor perimeter security
• Beam Type:
  • Single beam or dual beam (depending on model)
  • Infrared beams for reliable detection with minimal false alarms
• Weatherproof: Designed for outdoor use with IP65 or higher weatherproof rating
• Mounting: Can be mounted on walls, poles, or other structures for flexible installation
• Beam Adjustment: Adjustable beam height and angle for optimal detection coverage

Performance

• Detection Method: Detects intrusion based on the interruption of infrared beams
• Sensitivity: Adjustable sensitivity to fine-tune detection range and minimize false triggers
• Output: Typically provides a NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) relay output for integration with alarm systems
• Response Time: Fast response time with detection capability in < 0.2 seconds
• Operating Frequency:
  • Multi-frequency technology to prevent interference from other sensors or signals
  • Automatic frequency hopping in some models to ensure stable operation

Construction and Durability

• Housing Material:
  • ABS plastic or die-cast aluminum for high durability and resistance to external elements
  • Vandal-resistant and designed to withstand impacts and harsh environments
• Temperature Range:
  • -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F) for consistent performance in varying climates
• Protection:
  • Surge protection to handle electrical spikes and protect internal components
  • Tamper-proof design to prevent unauthorized access or manipulation

Power Supply

• Power Source:
  • Typically operates on 12V DC or 24V DC
  • Low power consumption for energy efficiency
• Current Consumption: Typically 30mA - 50mA depending on model
• Power Backup: Some models offer optional backup batteries for continued operation during power failure

Advanced Features

• Alarm Integration: Direct integration with alarm panels for immediate alert when the beam is interrupted
• Anti-False Alarm Technology: Features such as digital signal processing (DSP) or rain/snow rejection algorithms to reduce false alarms from environmental factors
• Dual Photodiodes: Some models use dual photodiodes to enhance detection accuracy and reduce sensitivity to environmental changes
• Automatic Self-Alignment: Certain models have self-aligning features to ensure perfect beam alignment during installation
