Infrared Safety Beam Sensor for Automatic Gates & Barriers
The Automatic Gates Infrared Photocell Sensor is a professional safety device designed to protect people, vehicles, and property during the operation of automatic gates, garage doors, parking barriers, and access control systems. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial installations throughout Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and across the UAE.
Using advanced infrared optical sensing technology, the sensor continuously monitors the gate opening area and immediately detects obstacles crossing the infrared beam. When an object, vehicle, or person interrupts the beam, the control system can stop or reverse gate movement to prevent accidents and damage.
With a detection range of up to 15 meters, this infrared photocell sensor provides reliable and accurate obstacle detection for automatic sliding gates, swing gates, garage door openers, boom barriers, and industrial door systems.
The compact weather-resistant design ensures dependable operation under harsh UAE weather conditions, including heat, humidity, dust, and outdoor exposure.
