FlipX Series

Meet our new generation indoor PIR detectors with innovative pyroelectric element and unique to OPTEX, rotatable lens. By simply removing the case and flipping the lens 180 degrees you can change the detection area from 85 degrees wide for covering large open spaces to just 5 degrees for covering narrow passages or windows both in residential and commercial settings. Equipped with advanced detection logic and a unique pyroelectric element for increased accuracy and performance, FlipX Series guarantees advanced intrusion detection for your home or business.

FlipX uses a rotatable lens to change the detection pattern without changing the sensor.

Installers rotate the lens 180 degrees to switch between two detection modes: wide and narrow. The wide setting provides 85° coverage for open indoor areas such as rooms, offices, shops and storage spaces. The narrow setting creates a focused 5° detection pattern for corridors, windows, sliding doors, aisles and restricted routes.

This gives installers more flexibility on site. One detector adapts to different layouts, reducing the need to select a separate wide or narrow model before installation.

FlipX uses PIR detection to identify changes in infrared energy caused by a person moving through the protected area. The sensor is designed to focus on human movement while supporting stable performance in everyday indoor environments.

Dual-technology models add microwave detection alongside PIR. Both technologies must confirm activity before an alarm is triggered, helping improve stability in more demanding areas where temperature change, air movement or reflective surfaces may affect detection.

This makes FlipX suitable for residential, commercial, logistics and high-value indoor applications where the detection area needs to match the room, route or asset being protected.

Choose FlipX when an indoor site needs flexible detection from one detector.

FlipX is suited to homes, apartments, offices, shops, warehouses, logistics areas, server rooms and high-value indoor spaces where the detection area may need to change depending on the layout.

The rotatable lens allows installers to switch between wide and narrow detection without changing the sensor. This makes FlipX useful on sites where one area may need open room protection, while another needs focused corridor or entry-point detection.

Choose wide detection for rooms, offices, shops, reception areas, stock rooms and other open spaces where broad coverage is needed.

Choose narrow detection for windows, sliding doors, hallways, warehouse aisles, corridors and restricted routes where focused detection is required.

Choose PIR models for standard indoor applications where reliable movement detection is needed across residential or light commercial spaces.

Choose dual-technology models when the site needs added detection stability. These models combine PIR and microwave detection, so both technologies must confirm movement before an alarm is triggered. This helps reduce unwanted activations in more demanding indoor environments.

Dual-technology models are a strong choice for areas with air movement, temperature fluctuation, reflective surfaces, large open spaces, glass-fronted areas, busy commercial rooms, warehouses, loading areas and sites where false alarm reduction is a priority.

Choose Advanced models for higher-risk areas where Grade 3 performance and anti-masking protection are required, such as server rooms, vaults, display areas, stock rooms and restricted spaces.

FlipX is a strong choice when installers need one detector range that adapts to different indoor layouts, reduces model selection complexity and supports accurate protection across everyday and high-security applications.

For residential sites, FlipX can protect a whole indoor area such as a living room or hallway with its wide 85-degree detection, or you may want to only protect vulnerable entry points like windows and sliding doors with its narrow 5-degree detection.

In commercial sites, there can be many uses of FlipX. It is the perfect solution for protecting offices or shops after hours from intruders by using the wide range of setting and protecting the entire shop floor or office space. Alternatively FlipX can be installed to protect a specific area only, for example, the most valuable items in a display or restricted areas.

In logistics and high-value sites, with the FlipX Advanced you can protect even larger and more complex areas for instance creating a narrow corridor of detection to protect aisles in a warehouse, or wide detection to protect the whole floor.
