Features
- Power Supply: Receiver operates on AC/DC 12-24V, while the emitter uses 2 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
- Photocell Wavelength: 940nm for reliable detection of obstructions.
- Receiver Range: Effective detection range from 1 to 15 meters.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates in temperatures between -20°C and 55°C, suitable for various climates.
- Waterproof Rating: IP54 waterproof grade ensures protection against dust and water splashes.
- Compact Design: Dimensions of 128 x 50 x 32mm make it easy to install on posts or pillars.
- Horizontal Installation: Must be installed at least 20cm above the ground, with the receiver and emitter aligned horizontally.
- Safety Assurance: Prevents the gate from closing on objects or people, ensuring the safety of everyone in the vicinity.
- Flexible Installation: Can be installed on either a pillar or a post, making it versatile for different setups
Installation
- Determine Installation Height: Ensure the receiver and emitter are installed horizontally at least 20cm above the ground.
- Mount the Emitter: Attach the emitter to a pillar or post on one side of the gate using screws or brackets.
- Mount the Receiver: On the opposite side, mount the receiver at the same height, ensuring it is directly aligned with the emitter.
- Power the Devices:
- Connect the receiver to an AC/DC 12-24V power supply.
- Insert two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries into the emitter.
- Test the Sensor: Once both devices are powered, test the sensor by moving an object between the emitter and receiver to ensure the gate stops when an obstruction is detected.
- Adjust if Necessary: Make sure the receiver and emitter are properly aligned for optimal performance and adjust the alignment if needed.
- Final Check: Confirm the gate operates safely, stopping when anything interrupts the sensor’s beam.
