OPTEX, the global leader in sensing solutions, is pleased to announce the newest addition to our indoor sensor lineup, the FlipX Series. The FlipX is our newest generation of indoor PIR detectors equipped with innovative pyroelectric element and rotatable lens, a feature unique to OPTEX. By simply removing the case and flipping the lens 180˚, the detection pattern can be customized from 85˚ wide for covering large open spaces, to just 5˚ for covering long narrow passages or windows. The FlipX Series is ideal for indoor applications ranging from residential to high-end commercial sites.

Featuring OPTEX’s unique pyroelectric element for elevated accuracy and performance, the FlipX Series provides superior pet tolerance and environmental immunity to significantly reduce nuisance and false alarms. With its advanced SMDA logic and spherical lens design, the FlipX Series guarantees stable and reliable detection for a variety of indoor application needs.

Customizable wide or narrow detection zones

By simply rotating the FlipX lens 180˚, the detection pattern of the sensor can be changed from wide to narrow to fit a variety of indoor application needs ranging from residential to high-end commercial. This feature enables the FlipX Series to effortlessly meet multiple application needs and minimizes installation time.

For residential applications, the FlipX Series can protect entire indoor areas like living rooms or hallways with its wide 85˚ coverage. Vulnerable entry points such as windows and doors can also be protected via its narrow 5˚ detection option by turning the lens.

For commercial applications, the FlipX Series offers a wide range of functions such as IR anti-masking, and optional settings like switchable range, to protect sites such as offices, shops, or restaurants, from intrusion attempts after operational hours.
