The TAKEX PIR-30WE is a high-performance wide-angle passive infrared sensor engineered for professional outdoor security applications. Offering a 100ft (30m) detection range with 39 zones (78 beams), it is designed for elevated mounting at 3.5m to reduce the risk of vandalism and improve detection coverage.
Its hooded AES resin housing protects against harsh weather, direct sunlight, and bird interference, while an IP-rated weatherproof seal ensures reliable performance in outdoor environments. This model is ideal for triggering CCTV cameras, security lighting, or alarm systems in commercial, industrial, and perimeter protection setups.
The PIR-30WE includes anti-vandal tilt and cover tamper switches, adjustable sensitivity, selectable pulse count, and LED control for simplified walk testing and system integration.
