Optex PE Beam Wireless Ready With PowerG From DSC.
Optex PE Beam Wireless Ready – Optex PE Beam battery-operated is now wireless ready with PowerG from BGW Technologies.
“Last year we introduced security installers to the Optex short range photoelectric (PE) detectors – Optex OPXAX-200TF/TFR,” explains Stanley El Komala, senior product manager intrusion at BGW Technologies.
“Offering the first line of defence by adding a boundary or perimeter to increase the effectiveness of a security solution, the OPXAX-200TF requires hardwiring, but the OPXAX-200TFR which offers similar features to the OPXAX-200TF, is powered by lithium batteries (power source 2x 3.6DC/13AH for transmitter and 2x 3.6VDC/13AH for receiver and current draw about 810 µA), allowing for perimeter protection to be installed in locations where mains power is not available.”

According to El Komala, while the Optex PE with PowerG on board is only available in the US, recognising the value of this solution to the local market, the BGW Technologies’ team has created a kit that matches the functionality of the US model.
“The set up involves adding the OPXBCU-5 for the battery common unit to share power between PE Beam and also the DSC PowerG Transmitter (DSCPG4945),” El Komala says. “By pairing the Optex wireless beams with the DSC transmitter it can be used on DSC PowerSeries Neo or Qolsys IQ Panel 4 (QOLIQP4021).
“There is also a BYO transmitter option if looking to pair it with another brand wireless panel. The integration makes this a market-leading perimeter detection using active infrared technology (Photoelectric beams) enhanced by the range of PowerG wireless.”

There are plenty of good reasons to install wireless AIRs beams, according to BGW Technologies state manager NSW, Graham Clark.
“The nice thing about the wireless beam combo is that you can deploy beams on a perimeter or gate without trenching/cabling out to it plus the battery life is a very respectable at 3-5 years,” Clark says.
“By incorporating the OPXAX-200TFR detector with the OPXBCU-5 unit, users can achieve unparalleled security for their premises. The system’s ability to detect intrusions with precision and accuracy ensures that any unauthorised entry is promptly identified, alerting security personnel in real-time.”
