Optex SIP-5030 Concise Descriptor

The Optex SIP-5030 is a wide-area outdoor PIR detector engineered for large perimeter coverage — parking lots, warehouse yards, substations, and campus grounds. A single unit blankets 50 × 30 meters (164 × 98 feet, approximately 1,500 square meters), meaning fewer detectors and simpler wiring infrastructure across open spaces.

Overview

The SIP-5030 deploys Optex's Synthesized Intelligent PIR platform: three dual pyroelectric sensor elements with patented Double Conductive Shielding continuously adapt sensitivity to ambient temperature and illuminance shifts. No manual recalibration across seasonal swings or changing daylight — the algorithm handles sub-zero winters through summer heat without introducing false alarms. Independent super-high/high/medium/low sensitivity selectors for far, near, and creep zones let installers tune detection response per sector. Built-in creep zone detector covers the area immediately below and surrounding the unit, with adjustable detection angle up to 135 degrees horizontal.

Compatibility

The SIP-5030 integrates with commercial perimeter security systems supporting standard 26 VDC relay outputs and alarm/trouble signaling. Compatible with industry-standard control panels and VMS platforms that accept wired PIR detector inputs. Verify your panel's input card voltage and alarm protocol before installation.

Installation Notes

Operates on 26 VDC supply. Anti-rotation detection via 3-axis accelerometer alerts on physical repositioning — mount securely and level for this supervision function to operate correctly. Anti-masking photo-beam sensing detects lens obstruction attempts; keep optics clear of mounting hardware shadows. Independent trouble outputs isolate alarm, creep-zone alarm, anti-masking, and anti-rotation signals for granular panel integration. Mounting height and horizontal aim angle (up to 135 degrees) determine effective coverage pattern — plan layout to avoid blind zones and cross-wiring complexity.
