15 Meter Infrared Safety Beam Sensor for Automatic Gates and Barriers
The Automatic Gate Infrared Photocell Sensor is a professional safety device designed for automatic sliding gates, swing gates, garage door openers, parking barriers, rolling shutter systems, and access control applications throughout Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and across the UAE.
Using advanced infrared optical sensing technology, the photocell continuously monitors the gate opening area and instantly detects vehicles, people, or obstacles crossing the infrared beam. When an obstruction is detected, the gate controller can stop or reverse movement to improve safety and prevent accidents.
Featuring a detection range of up to 15 meters, this infrared safety beam sensor delivers reliable performance for residential, commercial, and industrial gate automation systems. Its compact housing and weather-resistant design make it suitable for outdoor installations in harsh UAE environmental conditions.
The sensor operates with AC or DC power supplies from 12V to 24V, allowing easy integration with most automatic gate motors, garage door operators, barrier systems, and access control panels.
