Pricing is shown to logged-in customers.
The Optex AX-200TFR is a 60-meter (200 ft.) outdoor battery-powered active infrared (AIR) dual-beam detector designed for perimeters, driveways, and remote or hard-to-wire locations.
Description
The Battery Powered AX-200TFR is a revolution in the perimeter security industry, offering a significant cost saving alternative to a traditional hardwired system. No trenching or wiring is required, drastically reducing labor time and installation costs. The unit comes wireless ready with a multi functional back box and is compatible with most manufacturers wireless systems.

Triple tamper functions
Low battery output and LED indication
Intermittent output function
Compatible with numerous wireless transmitters
Battery saving time function for wireless transmitters
Selectable 4 channel beam frequencies
A.G.C circuit
IP55 structure
Adjustable beam interruption time
Technical Specifications

Weight: 1,600 g (56.4 oz) combined transmitter and receiver, excluding batteries
-
Does the unit come with the batteries and wireless transmitter included? +
No. The Optex AX-200TFR does not include batteries or a wireless transmitter. You must purchase the 3.6V lithium batteries (typically SAFT LSH20) and a compatible wireless transmitter (such as Bosch, DSC, or Paradox) separately to integrate it into your existing alarm system.
-
How does the detector prevent false alarms from falling leaves or small animals? +
It utilizes interrupted dual-beam technology and an adjustable interception period. For an alarm to trigger, both the top and bottom infrared beams must be blocked simultaneously. This prevents falling leaves or small birds from causing false alarms, while the adjustable interception speed ensures it can be fine-tuned to ignore fast-moving small animals while still catching a human intruder.
-
What is the purpose of the 4 selectable beam channels? +
The channels prevent crosstalk and interference between units. If you are stacking multiple beam pairs on top of each other to create a higher security wall, or placing multiple sets back-to-back along a perimeter fence, changing the channels ensures the receiver only listens to its designated transmitter.
-
What happens when the battery runs low? +
The unit features a dedicated low-battery output alongside its regular alarm output. When the lithium batteries drop below operational voltage, the device triggers this specific terminal, allowing your connected wireless transmitter to send a distinct "low battery" trouble alert to your alarm panel well before the device shuts down.
