BOUNDARY OUTDOOR DETECTOR

When superior performance

meets modern design

The BX Shield is a series of outdoor

PIRs providing 12m per side
curtain coverage:

AND SHIELD CONCEPT DESIGN

Reliable
Up to 12m/ 40ft. flexible detection areas on each side of the sensor
4 PIR technology
The detection range, sensitivity and
alarm output can be set separately for
the left and right detection areas. The
sensor can differentiate between large
and small objects within the detection
area, reducing false activations and
ensuring genuine intruder detection.

AND logic function to reduce false alarms

The BX SHIELD only triggers an alarm signal when both upper and lower areas detect movement.

No detection No detection Detection

Individual detection area and sensitivity setting IR digital anti-masking function

Both left and right detection ranges can be independently adjusted. (2.5 to 12 m in 5 steps) Active IR anti-masking detects when the lens
surface has been covered, blocked or painted.
