Pet Immune Optex PIR up to 18Kg

Optex “Pet Immune” PIR Motion Sensors  up to 18Kg– Intelligent Detection Without False Alarms

Optex Pet Immune PIR (Passive Infrared) sensors are advanced motion detectors specifically designed to ignore pets such as cats and dogs while accurately detecting human intruders. By combining intelligent detection technologies, these sensors significantly reduce false alarms caused by animal movement, environmental changes, or external interference.

Trusted by professional installers worldwide, Optex sensors deliver reliable performance in both residential and commercial security systems, making them ideal for homes with pets.

How Pet Immune Technology Works

Dual-Technology Detection (PIR + Microwave)
Selected Optex models combine PIR sensing with microwave detection, requiring both technologies to confirm movement before triggering an alarm. This dual-tech approach greatly improves accuracy and reduces false alarms.

Dual-Zone Detection Logic
The detection area is divided into upper and lower zones. Human movement activates both zones, while pets typically move only within the lower zone, preventing unnecessary alarms.

Advanced Pyroelectric Elements
Specially engineered pyroelectric sensors are designed to distinguish between human body heat patterns and smaller pet movement.

Adjustable Sensitivity & Masking Options
Installers can fine-tune sensitivity levels and apply masking plates to block unwanted detection areas, such as moving plants, vehicles, or reflective surfaces.

Conductive Shielding
Built-in shielding filters out light interference and radio frequency interference (RFI), improving reliability in challenging environments.

Important Installation Considerations

• Pet Weight Tolerance
  While not exact, most models are designed to ignore pets up to a specified weight range. Larger pets may require careful placement and sensitivity adjustment.

• Mounting Height
  Correct installation height is critical, especially for outdoor models (typically 2.5–3 m), to maintain effective pet immunity.

Ideal Applications

Suitable for:

• Homes with pets
• Residential alarm systems
• Small to medium commercial properties
• Indoor and outdoor protected areas
