Successfully launched in France in January, our new sleek outdoor detector QX Infinity series is now being rolled out to the wider EMEA region.
QXI is a family of compact PIRs providing 12m detection area, up to 120° in width. A particular benefit of the new series is that the sensors are specifically designed to be installed at heights of up to 2.7m, discreetly fitting into any residential or commercial buildings while keeping safe out of the reach from vandals.
Our core philosophy is to detect intrusion before individuals break into the property or building. Early warning and detection is the best way to prevent crime and the new QX Infinity series complements our extensive choice of short-range outdoor PIRs by bringing four volumetric high-mount wide angle detectors:
Wired models
- QXI-ST 120°, 12m, wired, standard
- QXI-DT 120°, 12m, wired, dual-technology, with an anti-blocking feature to detect intruders attempting to deliberately mask the detector
Battery-operated (wireless) models
- QXI-R 120°, 12m, wireless, standard
- QXI-RDT 120°, 12m, wireless, dual-technology
All models are equipped with Quad technology and double layered detection so will only be triggered when both layers are activated, eliminating the detection of small animals. It can also be installed as a low mount PIR detector to create a ‘pet alley’ and further reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms generated by animals. The QXI series features improved Super Multi-Dimensional Analysis (SMDA) logic so the alarm will not be triggered by changes of weather or vegetation sways, and Double Conductive Shielding which filters out visible light and RFI disturbance.
Installing the sensor has been made simple with an easy to open/close front cover. Other features include an Automatic Walk Test Mode, which automatically starts when the cover is closed and returns to normal mode after three minutes. For extra convenience, power to the wireless models can be shared through a common battery (CR123A) to the transmitter in the base of the device which can easily be swapped out/replaced when the need arises.
The QXI series is the ideal solution to protect the approach to warehouse and commercial buildings, driveways, houses and gardens. The sensors will trigger both intruder alarms and CCTV.
