NVX80 Overview
1
The Paradox NVX80 motion detector is above and beyond anything in its class. The NVX80 features resilience to
extreme conditions, a series of active infrared anti-masking and microwave proximity technologies to detect if anyone
is trying to mask the detection, and unparalleled detection performance using SeeTrue™ (patent pending). The NVX80
is the only detector in the industry offering eight detection channels - 4x forward looking PIR channels (2x quad
interlock geometry sensors), 2x microwave channels and 2x standalone creep detector (1quad sensor with interlock
geometry). It is the first motion detector in the industry to have a full-color OLED display.
SeeTrue™ significantly improves the detection of cloaked intruders trying to avoid PIR detection by means of using
insulating materials such as heavy coats, cartons, umbrellas, etc.
The combination of advanced technologies found in the NVX80 overcomes technical obstacles that traditional PIR
detectors cannot, like the degrading effects of high temperature environments.
For the installer, "Easy Slide" installation and full-color OLED display with intuitive menus allows easy programming and
installation without any mechanical setting (jumpers). The NVX80 also features diagnostic tools testing its PIR, anti-
mask, and microwave settings, as well as SoloTest™ for easy walk test execution.
The sleek, vandal-resistant, and built-tough NVX80 is the detector of choice for commercial, industrial, and residential
applications.
1.1 Features
• Paradox SeeTrue
TM
technology significantly improves detection response for both IR and microwave (MW) sensor
technologies greatly decreasing false alarms
• Paradox Active IR anti-mask recognizes the degradation of lens clarity and objects blocking the main lens within
30 cm of detector
