Dual-tech high-mount curtain motion detector with Triple AND logic and anti-masking, providing 12m detection, hardwired
The TXI-DAM is a compact dual-technology high-mount outdoor motion detector designed to deliver stable, consistent curtain detection for perimeter security applications. Combining PIR and microwave detection and with OPTEX's advanced Triple AND logic (patent pending), it creates an invisible 12m curtain barrier along a building façade, delivering reliable perimeter security for ground-floor protection, balconies, warehouses, office buildings, and retail sites.
Thanks to it's Quad + Dual PIR, and OPTEX's proprietary SMDA digital logic, TXI avoids nuisance activations while maintaining high detection performance. Even pets and small animals moving through the detection zone do not generate unwanted alerts. Built-in antimasking detection adds an additional layer of security, alerting the system if the sensor is deliberately obstructed or tampered with. With adjustable detection distance to prevent over-ranging, and an optional look-down zone, the TXI-DAM offers the flexibility to adapt coverage to the specific demands of each installation while keeping a clean, discreet profile.
OPTEX’s advanced microwave module is designed to ensure stable and reliable detection even in bright sunlight.
IR digital antimasking to detect and alert of any attempts to block, cover, spray, or interfere with the sensor’s field of view.
By using PIR and microwave technologies together, the TXI-DAM can confirm genuine intrusion more accurately and reduce nuisance alarms caused by environmental factors.
TXI-DAM uses independent sensing areas that form three detection zones within the sensor’s field of view, and an alarm will only be triggered when all three zones detect simultaneously, ensuring reliable human detection while reducing nuisance alarms.
TXI sensors feature OPTEX’s Super Multidimensional Analysis (SMDA) digital processing, which analyses multiple characteristics of detected movement to help filter environmental noise and support more stable operation as conditions change.
Selectable mounting height from 2.2m to 3m and 3m to 4m, and engineered for secure, high-performance installation with clean, concealed wiring using the included mounting bracket. For added flexibility, ceiling-mount is available with an optional bracket.
TXI offers up to 12 m of detection range which can be adjusted to prevent over-ranging and ensure accurate coverage.
An optional look-down zone allows precise coverage adjustment for different site conditions.
TXI is equipped with an accelerometer. The accelerometer detects device removal and tilt.
Traditionally, improving pet or small animal tolerance meant lowering sensor sensitivity. This reduced unwanted alarms, but also reduced detection performance.
TXI takes a different approach.
Using new Triple AND logic, TXI verifies movement across multiple detection points before generating an alarm. This helps the sensor distinguish between human intrusion and small animal movement, without weakening the sensor’s response.
The result is true pet tolerance, stable outdoor detection, and no need to trade security performance for fewer false alarms.
Designed to maintain detection stability in sunlight, rain and environmental noise, the TXI is the world's first high-mount curtain detector featuring OPTEX's patent-pending Triple AND Logic, ensuring stable and consistent intrusion detection across the entire coverage area. Advanced SMDA (Super Multidimensional Analysis) digital signal processing continuously analyses environmental conditions and intrusion patterns, helping to distinguish genuine threats from common outdoor disturbances.
OPTEX Tough MOD microwave technology adds an additional layer of verification, improving detection reliability in challenging outdoor environments. Combined with PIR and microwave sensing, this dual-technology approach helps minimise nuisance alarms while maintaining accurate human detection.
