How do Infrared Photocells work?
When attached to your automated gate system, an infrared beam is sent from the photocell to the reflector.. If this invisible beam is interrupted or broken by an obstacle such as a car or person it will automatically stop the gate closing and reopen the gate.
For anyone looking to complete their automated gate system, this infrared sensor will help to prevent accidents and ensure your gate won’t close on someone or something in its path.
Can the Infrared sensor be used for different vehicle sizes?
Vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, and vehicles like trucks and tractors may need photocells set at a different height. Luckily, multiple infrared photocells can be used where this is required.
Whether it’s at different heights, or on either side of a swing gate to ensure a vehicle is always detected, you can have multiple detection points, and with the correct wiring only one photocell needs to be triggered for the gate opening or closing to be stopped.
For anyone looking to complete their automated gate system, this infrared sensor will help to prevent accidents and ensure your gate won’t close on someone or something in its path.
