Microwave Technology - Patent Pending "Area Shaping Technology"
Optex Research and Development Department have created a breakthrough in Microwave Detection. The DX-40 reduces one of the biggest weak points of microwave detection, that is the penetration of walls and unwanted detection of movement outside the coverage area. In addition, the detection area has uniform sensitivity which minimizes false activation's caused by spot movement in the detection area, i.e. small animals. The DX-40 is a new dimension in microwave technology.

Passive Infrared Technology - Patented Quad Zone Logic with New Spherical Lens
By utilizing Optex Advanced Optical Technology, the DX-40 creates evenly distributed sensitivity throughout the detection area. Accurate focus creates even sensitivity and high resistance to spot temperature changes. Other detectors may have inconsistent detection creating hot spots (false alarm can occur) and dead spots (no detection). In addition, the New Spherical Lens contributes to a superior aesthetic appearance which end users will appreciate.

Optex Design and Mechanical Technology
|
- Easy installation and wiring are engineered into this compact housing.
- Easy Microwave Area Adjustment:
- Long or Short Distance Selector Switch
- Low, Medium or High Sensitivity Adjustment
|
Re-Enforced with Electronic Analysis
Detection Area Size Configuration - "Microwave Area Shaping" and "Quad Zone Logic"
The Microwave Area can be easily shaped to fit the desired area and have even sensitivity. In addition, Quad Zone Logic in the PIR provides high tolerance to spot temperature changes and movements caused by small animals, heating vents, moving curtains and vibrations caused by big machinery.

No Penetration
|
- No False Alarms due to Penetration through walls
Passive Infrared does not detect through walls and is never affected by movement beyond these boundaries.
- No False Alarms by Spot Temperature Changes
Enhanced Sealed Optics (patent pending)
|
No Temperature or Light Disturbance
Trouble-Free Installation
Microwave Area Shaping allows for simple two step adjustment. By making minor adjustments to the Long or Short Range Selector and the Low, Medium, High Sensitivity Volume, the microwave can be shaped to match room size. This technology will not only reduce installation hassle but will reduce false alarms caused by penetration of walls by the microwave detector.
Wiring Guide and Wide Space at Terminals - Increases Ease of Installation

Easy To Operate Pin Switches (with instruction directly on the detector)
High Visibility LED Display (3 LEDs) selectable On/Off

Improved Tolerance to Spot Movements
False Safe Technology - Automatic Trouble Monitoring
Passive Infrared does not detect through walls and is never affected by movement beyond these boundaries.
Microwave Watchdog Circuit (Self-checking function)
When microwave operation fails, DX-40 automatically switches to single PIR operation in Enhanced Reliability Mode avoiding Missed Alarms.
Anti-PIR Tamper Function (Patent Pending)
When PIR Detection fails, (something near the detector blocking the field of view) a trouble output will generate via the * alarm output (Selectable option with DX-40) and LED Display.
(*DX-40PLUS has separate Relay Output)
