OPTEX

OPTEX’s new range of 180° outdoor intrusion sensors available in EMEA and Americas

UK Exclusives, UK News Desk /

OPTEX has launched a new series of outdoor PIRs in EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa) and in South and North America that offer 180° detection coverage and 12m/40ft radius to detect any intrusion around a residential or commercial building. The WX Infinity series comprises two wired and two wireless models available either as the standard or anti-masking version. The new models are built upon OPTEX’s extensive track record in providing outstanding sensing performance for outdoor intruder detection applications, while the wide (180°) detection area coverage brings a new feature that is ideal for protecting larger residential grounds. “Outdoor warning technology can help prevent crimes by detecting and reporting intruders before they attempt to break into a building,” says Hiraku Shibuya, Section Chief, Sales and Marketing Department, Security Division at OPTEX Global Headquarters. “Early intrusion detection is what OPTEX has been focusing on for the last 40 years by delivering an extensive line-up of outdoor intruder detection sensors that provide reliable outdoor security.” The WXI sensors can provide two, independent 90° 12m/40ft detection areas, one for the left side and one for the right. The detection distance ranges from 2.5m (8ft) to 12m (40ft), and the sensitivity and alarm output can be set up independently for these left and right areas. For instance, the left output can trigger for a simple awareness alarm while the right side output prompts CCTV camera system to set an event index. A patent pending area-masking shutter allows a sliding mechanism to quickly mask an area and makes the detection area narrower to avoid obstructions such as swaying vegetation. The set-up procedure has been made easier by including an automatic walk test mode to ensure a quicker and more accurate installation.   The WXI motion sensors benefit from OPTEX’s sensing analytics that filter out noises that are common in outdoor environments, and also distinguishes between humans and small- to medium-sized animals thanks to its Super Multidimensional Analysis (SMDA) logic. The sensors also include temperature compensation and double conductive shielding to ensure best performance in sunny and hot outdoor environments. The selectable pulse count also has the option to enhance the sensor sensitivity when needed.  All WX Infinity models feature a tamper-proof back panel to detect if anyone is attempting to move the sensor from the wall, and the anti-masking models (WXI-AM/ WXI-RAM) will alert when anyone tries to cover the lens to block its view. “We are pleased to bring our first 180° outdoor PIR series to the market that complements our existing 90° and curtain sensor range,” adds Hiraku Shibuya. “We first presented the first WXI models at Securex in South Africa in May 2018 and had a fantastic response from installers. We are now in a position to roll out the complete WXI series across the whole European and African and Middle East (EMEA) region, as well as in North and South America.” www.optex-europe.com

In the mountains of France, CLIQ key-based access control helps keep the clean water flowing

News Desk /

Critical infrastructure requires locks that are proven, tested and trusted. Sometimes electronic locking is the right choice; at other times, mechanical locking does the job. With CLIQ mechatronic locking technology, one water utility combined both in a single, secure system controlled by powerful, intuitive CLIQ software. O des Aravis is responsible for water capture, storage quality, analysis and delivery of around 700,000m3 annually to homes and businesses in the Aravis Mountains region of France. PROTEC2 CLIQ key-based access control with programmable, battery-powered keys now secures 30 opening points across their premises. These robust locking devices are suited to protecting high-security openings, including a potentially dangerous room with high-tension electrical cabling and equipment. They are already deployed at critical infrastructure sites all over Europe. The mechatronic CLIQ system enables the utility’s facility managers to control, modify and trace every important access. They know who goes where, and when. They are aware of activity affecting all critical doors; it is even impossible to leave one unlocked. Because CLIQ is a flexible, key-based system, O des Aravis can also retain some mechanical locks at the site, operated by the same secure keys and with the same PROTEC2 high-security disc cylinders. Intuitive software makes the difference CLIQ software makes it easy and intuitive for O des Aravis to manage their entire locking system. “The programming software platform is very simple to use. We can easily grant or forbid access rights to any user,” explains Laurent Schutz, Water and Sanitation Process Manager. The CLIQ Web Manager software is built to help companies like O des Aravis manage complex workflows. System administrators can program, amend or delete keys remotely. It’s straightforward to generate time-stamped audit trails for any lock or key, to track access in detail. The Web Manager can generate attendance reports for staff and contractors. Yet despite all these features, the CLIQ Web Manager requires minimal IT investment: it runs in the cloud and is accessed via an encrypted connection to a standard web browser. At O des Aravis, comprehensive audit trails for any lock or key are available on demand. These also sync automatically when a user key is updated or revalidated. If a key is lost, a security manager can deactivate it instantly with a couple of clicks, ensuring buildings and clean water supplies are not put at risk. “There is very good communication about software updates,” says Laurent Schutz. “It is highly professional.” www.assaabloy.com
