The AF180 Gate Safety Photocell Set is designed to improve the safety and reliability of automatic gate systems by detecting vehicles, pedestrians, and other obstacles within the gate's operating area. Using synchronised infrared beam technology, the transmitter and receiver work together to stop or reverse gate movement when the beam is interrupted, helping to prevent accidents and damage.
Suitable for both sliding and swing gate automation systems, the AF180 photocells feature a compact, weather-resistant housing and a wide adjustment range, making installation simple even in challenging locations. Compatible with 12V or 24V AC/DC control systems, they are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial gate installations.
