Safety sensor - BFT FL130

The BFT FL130 is a photoelectric safety sensor designed primarily for use with automated gates and doors. It's a crucial safety component that prevents the gate or door from closing if an obstacle, such as a person or vehicle, is detected in its path. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects: How it Works The BFT FL130 operates as a pair of photocells, consisting of a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). These units are typically mounted on opposite sides of the gate or door opening. The transmitter emits an infrared beam towards the receiver. If anything breaks this beam (e.g., a person walking through, a car passing), the receiver detects the interruption and sends a signal to the gate's control unit. This signal then triggers a safety mechanism, causing the gate to stop its movement or reverse direction to avoid impact. Features and Specifications

Safety sensor - Nice Era-EPM

The Nice Era-EPM is a photoelectric safety sensor commonly used in automation systems for gates, garage doors, barriers, and similar installations. It's also often referred to as a photocell or beam sensor. Here's a breakdown of what it is and its key features: Purpose: Its primary function is to enhance safety by detecting obstacles in the path of a moving gate or door. It consists of a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) that are installed facing each other. The transmitter emits an infrared beam, and if this beam is interrupted by an object, the receiver signals the control unit to stop or reverse the automation system, preventing accidents, injuries, or damage to vehicles. Key Features and Specifications:
  • Photoelectric Technology: It uses an infrared beam to detect obstructions.
  • Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX): Comes as a pair, with one unit transmitting the beam and the other receiving it.
  • Relay Output: It's a relay photocell, meaning it sends a signal to the control unit via a relay output.
  • Range: Typically has a useful range of 15 meters, which can be extended up to 30 meters in some configurations (e.g., by cutting a "+10m" electrical bridge). However, range can be reduced in adverse weather conditions like fog, rain, or dust.
  • Anti-Glare Circuitry: Designed with an anti-glare circuit to minimize interference from sunlight, ensuring reliable performance in various lighting conditions.
  • Durable Construction: Features an ABS body that is resistant to weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use (IP44 protection rating).
  • Easy Installation: Known for its simplified assembly and installation procedure. Some versions (like those with Nice BlueBUS technology) require only two wires for connection to compatible control units, simplifying wiring.
  • Wide Angle of Reception: Generally has a 10° (or 8° with a reduction cone) angle of reception, which helps in compensating for minor alignment issues.
  • Compatibility: While it's a Nice-branded product, it's often described as a "universal photocell" compatible with most gate and garage door automation systems, especially those that accept standard relay inputs. Some models also feature Nice BlueBUS technology for seamless integration with Nice control units that support it.
  • Safety Compliance: It is a Type D presence detector according to EN 12453 standard, which means it detects obstacles on the optical axis. When connected to a control unit with a "phototest" function, it can achieve Category 2 safety against malfunctions according to EN 954-1.
Installation: The Nice Era-EPM sensors are typically surface-mounted on two solid, parallel walls, facing each other to create the safety beam. Proper alignment between the transmitter and receiver is crucial for optimal operation. In essence, the Nice Era-EPM is a robust and reliable safety device designed to make automated gate and door systems safer by actively detecting obstacles in their path of operation.

*NO/NC *AC/DC 12-24 V *Receiving Range: 15 Meters *IP 44
A gate opener safety sensor is a device designed to detect objects or people in the path of an automatic gate and prevent it from closing or hitting them, ensuring safety and preventing damage or injury.
These sensors can be photoelectric, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, or loop detectors and are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth gate operation. 

Types of Gate Opener Safety Sensors:

  • Photoelectric Sensors:
    These sensors use an infrared beam to detect objects. When the beam is broken by an object, the gate opener is signaled to stop or reverse. 
  • Pressure Sensors:
    These sensors are typically located along the edge of the gate and detect pressure when the gate comes into contact with an object. 
  • Magnetic Sensors:
    These sensors use a magnetic field to detect the presence of vehicles or objects near the gate. 
  • Loop Detectors:
    These sensors use a wire loop buried in the ground near the gate. When a vehicle or object passes over the loop, it triggers the gate to stop or reverse. 
How They Work:
  1. Detection: The sensor detects the presence of an object or person in the gate's path. 
  2. Signal: The sensor sends a signal to the gate operator. 
  3. Action: The gate operator responds by stopping, reversing, or remaining open, depending on the sensor type and programmed settings. 
Importance of Safety Sensors:
  • Prevent Accidents: They protect people and vehicles from being hit by the gate. 
  • Prevent Damage: They help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or property. 
  • Ensure Reliable Operation: They contribute to the smooth and safe operation of the gate.
