FX-40

Product catalog summary

Overview

The FX-40 Series Passive Infrared (PIR) Detectors by OPTEX are designed for reliable intruder detection in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. They activate alarm control panels upon detecting movement and conform to EMC Directive 89/336 EEC standards.

Detection Patterns and Coverage

Wide Angle Models (FX-40, FX-40D): Coverage of 12m x 12m (40ft x 40ft) with 85° wide detection angle and 72 detection zones.
Long Range Models (FX-40L, FX-40DL): Coverage of 18m x 1.8m (60ft x 6ft) with 20 detection zones, featuring an optional FL-60N lens for extremely dense multi-layer curtain detection.

Design and Technology Features

Multi-Focus Optics and Spherical Lens Design: Provide high vertical zone density, capturing full body mass and minimizing dead zones caused by furniture or partitions.
Temperature Compensation Circuit: Automatically adjusts sensitivity to maintain detection accuracy and reduce false alarms in high temperature environments where background temperature approaches human body temperature.
Double Conductive Shielding: Protects the pyroelectric element from radio frequency interference (RFI) and visible light, enhancing false alarm immunity.
Sealed Optics and Special Pyroelectric Element: Prevents false alarms caused by drafts and small insects.
Durability: Hard spherical lens resists shocks better than flat Fresnel lenses; PC board protection wall prevents damage during installation.

False Alarm Protection

RFI immunity up to 20-30 V/m in the 100 MHz to 1 GHz range.
No false alarms during temperature changes from 20°C to 50°C (4°F to 122°F).
Special shielding and sealed pyro element reduce false alarms from environmental factors.

Installation and Usability

Easy wiring knockouts and wide wiring space simplify installation.
Selectable LED indicator on/off switch and pulse count (2 or 4) for sensitivity adjustment.
Tamper switch included for cover removal detection.
Mounting brackets allow horizontal adjustment of 45° and vertical adjustment from 0° to 15° downward.
Compact dimensions: approximately 66mm x 46mm x 112mm (2.60" x 1.81" x 4.41").

Options and Accessories

FL-60N Optional Lens: Pack of 5 lenses for long-range extremely dense multi-layer curtain detection.
Two mounting screws included.

Certifications and Compliance

Conforms to EMC Directive 89/336 EEC for residential, commercial, and light industry use.
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing.
Listed models: FX-40VdS (G196623), FX-45VdS (G196625).
