Frequently Asked Questions - VX-402REC OPTEX

How do I connect the VX-402REC to my alarm panel?
Connect the alarm output (NC/NO) to your panel's zone input. Use the tamper output for cover protection. Ensure power supply is 12 VDC.
What is the detection range and angle?
The VX-402REC has a 12 m (40 ft) range and a 90° detection angle.
How do I adjust the pulse count?
Open the detector and locate the DIP switches. Set the pulse count to 1, 2, or 3 to reduce false alarms from pets or environmental changes.
Can I use this detector outdoors?
No, the VX-402REC is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof.
How do I clean the detector?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
What does the red LED indicate?
A flashing red LED during warm-up (30s). A solid red LED indicates an alarm event.
How do I mount the detector?
Mount at 1.8-2.5 m height on a stable wall. Use the included bracket and screws. Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.
What is the tamper protection?
The detector has a cover tamper switch that triggers an alarm if the cover is removed.
How do I troubleshoot false alarms?
Check for pets, heat sources, or moving objects in the detection area. Adjust pulse count or relocation. Ensure lens is clean.
Is the VX-402REC compatible with wireless systems?
This model is wired only. For wireless, consider Optex wireless series.

FEATURES

2 YEAR WARRANTY

Voice Warning Function (VX-402REC Only)

VX-402REC is capable of delivering two kinds of audible messages to an intruder. This has been proven as an effective means of deterring BREAK-INS.

Easy Recording with Built-in microphone or External apparatus (VX-402REC Only)

The VX-402REC detector records warning messages by either of two different ways: speak direct to its built-in microphone or connect an external sound source to the detector.

Limited Detection Range Function

The detection range of the VX-402 can be limited to avoid detecting unwanted objects. By limiting the detection range, false alarms due to unwanted movement (i.e. cars, persons or animals outside the protected area) can be reduced.

Size Judging Function

VX-402 is designed to discriminate between large and small animals. By utilizing this ability, false alarms due to small animals can be reduced.

Bright Light Disturbance Immunity

VX-402 is equipped with Double Conductive Shielding (Patent Listed). This shielding greatly reduces the chance of false alarms due to car headlights, sunlight and other ambient light sources.

Detection Area Extension Function

The detection area can be easily extended by using its slave units.

Directional Detection Function

VX-402 can distinguish movement direction by using slave units. This function increases the operational reliability and allows for use in new applications (Directional Security).

1. INSTALLATION HINTS

  1. Install the sensor perpendicular to the ground to making upper detection area parallel to the ground.

Parallel

  1. Installation height is 0.8m-1.2m (2.7ft-4ft)

0.8m-1.2m (2.7ft-4ft)

4.VX-402 is designed to protect any light disturbances. However, too much light may cause unstable condition with the sensor, such as; strong sunlight directed or reflected exactly into the sensor's field of view. It is recommended to avoid such installation.

IMPORTANT

  • Do not record big volume from the beginning, which could overload and damage the speaker.
  • Do not record the sound of chimes or a siren, which could overload and damage the speaker.
  • For connection with sound source, use the plug which suited for the jack form of the apparatus.
    •A blinking recording level indicator shows that an adequate sound volume has been ensured.
    If reproduced sound is heard broken, adjust the sound level with the detectoris recording level volume or the sound source's volume controller.

Length of Lower Detection Area decides detection length

The upper detection area stays parallel to the ground at all time. The lower detection area moves as shown above depending on the switch position. So, length of the detection is limited by the length of lower detection area, since both upper & lower detection area have to be blocked at the same time to activate the sensor.

  1. Place the lens holder. Confirm the lens holder is held by left and right prongs on the cover.

IMPORTANT

As shown at left, the active detection fingers are always 7, if the area masking plate is not applied.

The active fingers are varied by area adjustment as explained at above.

Before putting the area masking plate to the inside of the lens, make sure which part of the lens will be the detection areas you want to eliminate. There is no effect if you put the plate on the part of the lens which do not cover the detection area.

When it passes along the area of slave.

IMPORTANT

  • During the Direction Detection mode is set ON, the alarm occurs only when the detector which set as second-detection detects the moving object. If the second-detection detector doesn't detect the anything within 60 seconds after the first alarm occurred, the alarm is reset.
  • In case the VX series are used for both master and slave unit, use the slave unit with following setting mode. VX-402 : Set the Direction Detection mode OFF. VX-402REC : Do not set the voice mode switch as a pre-warning mode.

7-2.Day/Night Message Mode (VX-402REC only)

The detector will automatically change messages from that for the daytime to that for the night-time and vice versa.

7-4. Sequential Message Mode (VX-402REC only)

In case, the detector detects the moving object 3 times within 30 seconds during the Sequential Message mode is set ON, the message is automatically changed from 3^rd time detection.

8. OPERATION TEST

  1. Turn LED indicator on. (See page 9.)
  2. Check and adjust the detection area. (See pages 7,8.)

OPTEX VX-402REC - OPERATION TEST - 1

IMPORTANT!

1) When the car or person goes near the detection area (a), please adjust the detection area 1.5m to 2m (5ft to 7ft) shorter than movement area (b) and confirm by walk test. Because, the actual detection area may change from 1.5m to 2m (5ft to 7ft) due to the environmental thermal conditions.

a b

The detection area might increase when there is a big temperature difference between the moving object and the background.

Example

When around 13m (43ft) detection area is required as shown below.

1) If the detection length adjusted to position A[12m (40ft)], there is a possibility to detect the car, depending on the environmental thermal conditions.

Approx.12m(40ft) position A

In such case,

1) Please adjust the detection length to position B. The detection length will be around 8m (27ft) which is rather shorter than ideal length but can remove the chance of false detection.
2) Confirm by walk test. Detects at area a and no detection at area b.

a b Approx.8m(27ft) position B Approx.12m(40ft)

Approx.8m(27ft) position B Approx.13m(43ft)

2)VX-402 has a multi-level detection pattern (from side view). A heat source beyond the detection area may cause the detector a false alarm by reflecting off the ground. Examples of reflective ground is water (puddle), wet road, smooth surface concrete and asphalt road. Reflection rate is not 100% of course on the ground, however, if the heat source is strong and / or reflection rate is high, detectors detection distance will be longer than required and may detect unwanted objects beyond. According to the ground condition of the installation site, select the detection range position.

9.TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEMDESCRIPTION PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Detector fails to work.Incorrect power supply voltage. Set supply voltagefor a range of 9.5 to 18 VDC.
LED does not light. LEDswitch is turned OFF.Turn LED switch ON.(See section 6-6 on page 9.)
Alarm is not outputted.DIP switch A-4 is set for Night Only.Set switch A-4 for Day/Night and see if it works.(See section 6-6 on page 9.)
DIP switch A-3 (Directional Detection) is turned ON.Turn OFF DIP switch A-3.(See section 6-6 on page 9.)
Faulty wiring to detector.Rewire alarm output correctly.(See section 4 on page 5.)
LED blinks continuouslyIncorrect power supply voltage. Set supply voltagefor a range of 9.5 to 18 VDC.
Make alarm continuouslyJumper is not connected to the AUX INPUT terminal.Connect the jumper to the terminal.(See section 4 on page 5.)
Make alarms even though no moving object is in the areaDetector is not installed perpendicularly to the ground.Reinstall the detector perpendicularly to the ground. (See section3-2 on page 4.)
