NOTE: Words/statements within square brackets [ ] may be included when appropriate, or when selection is required.

The Intrusion Detector[s] shall operate illuminated shall indicate a non-alarm

on the Verified Intrusion principle using
Infrared Photoelectric, and shall be Listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc..
OUTPUT AND ENCLOSURE
[Each] [The] detector shall provide the
detection, signal processing, alarm relay,
and operating power circuitry in the same
enclosure; and shall provide an alarm relay
actuation upon the detection of an intruder
moving into or through its protection pattern.
The housing cover and chassis shall be
highly durable and heat resistant, and shall
be capable of mounting to a Wall or Pole
without modification.
The total weight (both Transmitter and
Receiver) shall be 36.7 oz. (1040g).
[Each] [The] detector shall feature a
single piece electronic logic board whose
circuitry is specifically designed for this
detector alone, and which has sustained a
substantial “Burn-in” test for several days.
[Each] [The] detector shall also feature
rain, dust, and Insect Protection. The
Rubber O-Ring and Rubber Grommets used
in [each] [the] model shall prevent rain, dust,
and tiny insects from adversely affecting
performance (IP55).
LED OPERATION
The detector[s] shall incorporate a
single, Red LED to indicate the operating
conditions. Red LED illuminated shall
indicate an alarm condition. Red LED not
condition.
The LED indicator shall feature a 3 Step
Process for fast and accurate fine beam
adjustment. On [each] [the] ALPHA version
detector, the alignment condition shall be
visually displayed on the front and in the
viewfinder of the receiver. By simply aiming
both units and watching the LED indicators,
accurate and reliable alignment shall be
achieved. The alignment status at the
receiver shall be optically transferred to the
transmitter and shall be indicated by the
LEDs. To align the transmitter, one shall
simply monitor the LED level while adjusting.
The LED shall be “ON” before alignment,
“Flickering” when Beam energy from the
transmitter is reaching the receiver, and
“OFF” when the beam is ready for fine
tuning. Fine tune adjustment shall always
be done with a Volt Meter.
POWER REQUIREMENT
The detector[s] shall be capable of
operating from a DC power source rated
within the range of 10.5 to 25 volts DC. The
current draw (transmitter + receiver) for
models AX-100 PLUS and AX-200 PLUS
shall be a maximum of 46 mA during normal
operation. The current draw (transmitter +
receiver) for models AX-100 ALPHA and
AX-200 ALPHA shall be 40 mA during
normal operation, and 46mA (maximum)
during optical alignment.

Doc #: 3440-0322
ALARM OPERATION
A condition of alarm shall occur when
the alarm conditions are met. The Beam
Interruption Period shall be adjustable within
the range of 50 ~ 500 msec. to increase
stability while maintaining reliability at every
installation site. A selectable 4 channel
beam frequency with automatic
synchronization shall be available for
models AX-100 ALPHA and AX-200 ALPHA.
The beam characteristics shall be pulsed
infrared. The Alarm Period shall be 2.0 ± 1
seconds nominal. The Alarm Output shall
be capable of handling 28VDC, 0.2A max.,
Form C Relay. [Each] [The] detector shall
signal the condition of alarm using a Form C
Relay with terminal strip connections. The
detector[s] shall also contain a tamper
switch on the receiver only that shall open
when the cover is removed.
SENSOR STABILITY
[Each] [The] detector shall feature
protection against Lighting and High EMI
Disturbances. An improved EMI Surge
Absorber and High Surge Resistiveness
Relay shall maintain stable operation even
in the most lightning prone areas, and shall
remain stable against over 14kV of lightning
surge.
[Each] [The] ALPHA version detector
shall also utilize selectable beam
frequencies to eliminate cross talk of Beams
and to provide accurate beam
discrimination. The selectable 4 channel
beam frequency with automatic
synchronization shall be used to avoid cross
talk problems that occur when using 2
photobeams for long distance or beam
stacking applications.
[Each] [The] detector shall remain stable
even in high temperature conditions. [Each]
[The] detector shall be rated to operate
within a temperature range of [minus 13°
Fahrenheit to Plus 131° Fahrenheit] [minus
25° Celsius to Plus 55° Celsius]. [Each]
[The] detector shall also tolerate a humidity
rate of 95% max. No false alarm shall occur
within these operating conditions.
[Each] [The] detector shall contain an
A.G.C. (Automatic Gain Control) Circuit to
Doc #: 3440-0322
continually monitor for gradual changes in
the signal’s strength caused by changing
weather conditions. It shall adjust the
sensitivity accordingly to maintain the proper
signal level for the current environmental
conditions.
[Each] [The] detector shall provide
protection against rain, dust, and insects by
means of a sealed enclosure housing. The
Rubber O-Ring and Rubber Grommets
(IP55) used in the detector[s] shall prevent
rain, dust, and tiny insects from adversely
affecting performance.
[Each] [The] detector shall feature frost
and dew protection. An anti-frost and
convex visor design shall be incorporated to
protect the detector[s] from the effect of frost
or snow.
[Each] [The] detector shall utilize Twin
Synchronized Pulsed Beams with size
analysis technology to eliminate false alarms
due to birds or flying objects. The “And
Gate” dual beams shall require
simultaneous interruption of both beams to
trigger an activation. No activation shall be
generated when a bird or falling leaves
break just one beam.
LENS AND DETECTION PATTERN
[Each] [The] detector shall contain a
durable and high grade Aspherical lens that
shall focus received infrared energy onto the
sensor. The sensor and module combined
shall create more sharply defined and
precise infrared beams compared to those
created by ordinary lenses.
The precise area of the detection field
shall be specific to each model. Model AX-
100 PLUS shall feature a detection field of
100ft (30m) Outdoor, and 200ft (60m)
Indoor, with a Maximum Arrival Distance of
1000ft (300m). Model AX-200 PLUS shall
feature a detection field of 200ft (60m)
Outdoor, and 400ft (120m) Indoor, with a
Maximum Arrival Distance of 2000ft (600m).
Model AX-100 ALPHA shall feature a
detection field of 100ft (30m) Outdoor, and
200ft (60m) Indoor, with a Maximum Arrival
Distance of 1000ft (300m). Model AX-200
ALPHA shall feature a detection field of
200ft (60m) Outdoor, and 400ft (120m) MODEL
Indoor, with a Maximum Arrival Distance of
The Intrusion Detector shall be model
2000ft (600m).
AX-100 PLUS (Outdoor Short-Range
Photoelectric Intrusion Detector) [or] [model
The mounting height of the detector[s]
AX-200 PLUS] [or] [model AX-100 ALPHA]
shall be within the range of 0.8 ~ 1.2m (2.7 ~
[or] [model AX-200 ALPHA], [with] [optional
4ft).
Back Cover BC-2] [or] [optional Heating Unit
HU-2].
Fine optical beam alignment shall also
be incorporated into the detector[s]. The
rotating dial shall allow the installer to finely
adjust the beam easily either horizontally
(180°/ ± 90°) or vertically (10°/ ± 5°), with or
without the use of a screw (finger
adjustable).
