within a temperature range of [minus 13°
Fahrenheit to plus 131° Fahrenheit] [minus
25° Celsius to plus 55° Celsius]. [Each]
[The] detector shall also tolerate a humidity
rate of 95% max. No false alarm shall occur
within these operating conditions.
[Each] [The] detector shall contain an
A.G.C. (Automatic Gain Control) Circuit to
continually monitor for gradual changes in
the signal’s strength caused by changing
weather conditions. It shall adjust the
sensitivity accordingly to maintain the proper
signal level for the current environmental
conditions.
[Each] [The] detector shall provide
protection against rain, dust, and insects by
means of a sealed enclosure housing. The
Rubber O-Ring and Rubber Grommets
(IP55) used in the detector[s] shall prevent
rain, dust, and tiny insects from adversely
affecting performance.
[Each] [The] detector shall feature frost
and dew protection. An anti-frost and
convex visor design shall be incorporated to
protect the detector[s] from the effect of frost
or snow. Stable operation shall be
maintained with as much as 99% of the
beam’s energy blocked by heavy rain, dust
storms, snow or fog.
[Each] [The] detector shall utilize Twin
Synchronized Pulsed Beams with size
analysis technology to eliminate false alarms

Gate” dual beams shall require
simultaneous interruption of both beams to
trigger an activation. No activation shall be
generated when a bird or falling leaves
break just one beam.
LENS AND DETECTION PATTERN
[Each] [The] detector shall contain a
durable and high grade Aspherical lens that
shall focus received infrared energy onto the
sensor.
The precise area of the detection field
shall be specific to each model. Model AX-
250 Plus shall feature a detection field of
250ft (75m) Outdoor, with a Maximum
Arrival Distance of 2500ft (750m). Model
AX-500 Plus shall feature a detection field of
500ft (150m) Outdoor, with a Maximum
Arrival Distance of 5000ft (1500m).
Fine optical beam alignment shall also
be incorporated into the detector[s]. The
adjustment shall be horizontally (180°/ ±
90°) or vertically ( ± 10°),
