NVX80

Quick Start Guide

NVX80-EQ0

Product Description

The Paradox NVX80 motion detector is above and beyond anything in its class. The NVX80 fea-
tures resilience to extreme outdoor 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). 

SeeTrue™ significantly improves the detection of cloaked intruders trying to avoid PIR detec-
tion 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 environ-
ments. 

For the installer, "Easy Slide" installation, and first-in-industry full-color OLED display with intui-
tive menus, allows easy programming and installation without any mechanical setting (jump-
ers). 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.

Consider the following before you begin installation of the NVX80. 

Package Contents

Inspect to make sure you have the following items:

NVX80 Motion Detector

All-weather cover (for outdoor use)

Screws

Foam  pad

Optional items may include:

Wall anchors

Additional screws

Mounting Considerations

Recommendations

Ensure that the unit’s detection beams are perpendicular to the anticipated move-
ment (see beam patterns below)

Keep a minimum distance between adjoining NVX80 detectors to prevent MW 
cross interference

The NVX80 can be placed under a roof, awning, or the all-weather cover can be 
installed for outdoor installations

Install the detector within the suggested range: installing the unit lower than 2.5 m 
/ 8 ft 2 in may compromise the Pet Immunity capability. Installing over 3.0 m / 9 ft 8 
in may require use of our swivel bracket adjusted downward shifting the Pet 
Immunity beam and neutralizing the creep zone. Installing the unit over 3.0 m / 10 
ft does not affect the creep zone.

If the installation is near heavy traffic or objects beyond the required detection 
range, adjust the MW sensitivity and/or tilt the detector downward. 

Recommended Restrictions

Don’t direct the unit’s beams into swaying trees or bushes

Don’t place the detector facing direct sunlight or near a heat source, as it might 
interfere with the Active IR anti-mask feature

Don’t place any objects, such as shelves, ledges or plants, below the unit

Don’t place any reflective objects within 2 m / 6 ft. 6 in of the unit, as this may inter-
fere with the MW anti-mask capabilities

Don’t use excessive force when handling the NVX80
