FTN Series

Flexible short-range curtain detection

FTN
Image 9

FTN is a short-range outdoor curtain PIR detector range for protecting areas close to a building.

The series creates a narrow curtain detection zone across doors, windows, balconies and small external approaches. With adjustable detection up to 5m, FTN helps detect movement before an intruder reaches the opening.

FTN is suited to residential and light commercial sites where discreet, close-proximity detection is needed around vulnerable access points. 

FTN PIR sensors are equipped with enhanced pet immunity, so birds, cats and foxes would not trigger the alarm. It digitally analyses the waveforms of the detected objects and will ignore reflection caused by sunlight, air conditioning units, and vegetation sway. As a result, the FTN series is the ultimate stable outdoor sensor. 

Protects narrow spaces around the building

FTN sensors are designed for short-range outdoor protection around doors, windows, balconies, side passages and building approaches.

Stable outdoor detection

FTN sensors are built for outdoor use and help reduce unwanted alarms from environmental movement, small animals and changing light conditions. This gives installers a reliable option for protecting close-range areas with fewer nuisance alarms.

Compact and discreet installation

The small housing makes FTN easy to place on residential or commercial sites without drawing attention. It works well where a larger outdoor detector would look too visible or would not fit the space.

Choose FTN when the site needs short-range outdoor curtain detection close to the building.

It is best suited to front doors, windows, balconies, terraces, side entrances, garden-facing doors and small external routes where a compact detector is required.

Choose FTN when the protected area is close to the building and long-range detection is not needed.

Use FTN for close-proximity protection up to 5m.

Use BXS when wider left and right boundary detection is needed along the building line.

Use TXI when high-mount curtain detection is required from 2.2m to 4.0m.
