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

  • Type: Photoelectric safety sensor (photocell).
  • Components: Transmitter and receiver pair.
  • Function: Detects obstacles in the path of automated gates and doors to prevent accidents.
  • Detection Method: Infrared beam.
  • Applications: Commonly used in residential and commercial settings for automated swing gates, sliding gates, and garage doors.
  • Max Range: Up to 30 meters (can be reduced by 50% in adverse weather conditions like fog or heavy rain).
  • Power Supply: Typically 20-31 VAC or 22-30 VDC.
  • Absorption: Approximately 70mA per pair.
  • Relay Contacts: 1A at 24 VAC-DC.
  • Working Temperature: Generally from -15°C to +70°C (some sources say -5°C to +70°C).
  • Protection Rating: IP54, meaning it’s protected against dust ingress and splashing water.
  • Mounting: Should be aligned and mounted at a height between 40 and 60 cm from the ground on flat, parallel surfaces.
  • Dimensions: Compact, typically around 115mm x 32mm x 26mm.
  • Versions: There is also a BFT FL130B version, which may offer additional features like self-alignment and is designed to meet EN12453 regulations for Type D safety devices when connected to a compatible control unit that verifies safety device functionality.

Safety Compliance

The BFT FL130, particularly the FL130B version, is designed to comply with recognized technical standards and safety regulations, such as EN12453. For the FL130 to be used as a Type D safety device under EN12453, it often requires connection to a control unit that includes a circuit to verify the correct functioning of the safety devices. Regular maintenance (at least every six months) is also recommended for systems using these sensors to ensure continued safe operation.

A gate opener safety sensor is a crucial component of automated gate systems designed to prevent accidents and damage by detecting obstructions in the gate's path.
These sensors, often photoelectric, use an infrared beam to monitor the area and trigger the gate to stop or reverse if something is blocking its movement. 
How it works:
  • Transmitter and Receiver:
    A safety sensor typically consists of a transmitter that emits an infrared light beam and a receiver that detects the beam.
  • Obstruction Detection:
    When an object, person, or vehicle interrupts the beam, the receiver signals the gate operator to stop or reverse the gate's movement.
  • Safety Feature:
    This mechanism prevents the gate from closing on anything or anyone, ensuring safety and preventing potential damage. 
Types of Safety Sensors:
  • Photoelectric Sensors (Photo Eyes):
    These are the most common type, using an infrared beam to detect obstructions. 
  • Safety Edges:
    These sensors are typically placed along the edge of the gate and trigger a stop or reverse when they encounter pressure. 
  • Induction Loops:
    These sensors are embedded in the ground and detect vehicles as they pass over them, triggering the gate to open or close. 
Importance:
  • Safety:
    The primary function is to prevent accidents and injuries by stopping or reversing the gate when an obstruction is present. 
  • Preventing Damage:
    By detecting obstructions, these sensors help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or anything else in its path. 
  • Compliance:
    Safety sensors are often required for automated gates to meet safety regulations and standards. 
Common Issues:
  • Misalignment:
    If the sensor is misaligned, the infrared beam may not reach the receiver, causing the gate to malfunction.
  • Obstructions:
    Debris, dirt, or other obstructions can interfere with the beam and trigger false alarms.
  • Sensor Failure:
    Like any electronic device, sensors can fail over time, requiring replacement.

*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 200 Kg (Per leaf) Included: *2 x Electromechanical arm *1 x Main control board *1 x Waterproof box *2 x Remote control *1 x Manual release key *1 x Safety sensor
A dual swing gate opener is a motorized system designed to automatically open and close a double swing gate, which consists of two gate panels that meet in the middle.
Each gate panel has its own opener mechanism, allowing them to swing open in opposite directions simultaneously. This setup is common for driveways and other entry points where a wider opening is needed without requiring a single, longer gate. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Dual Swing Gates:
    These gates have two leaves or panels that swing open, typically inward or outward, to create an opening. 
  • Dual Opener Mechanisms:
    Each leaf of the gate is equipped with its own opener mechanism, which is usually an arm that pushes or pulls the gate. 
  • Synchronized Movement:
    The two opener mechanisms are designed to work together, opening and closing the gate leaves in a coordinated and synchronized manner. 
  • Applications:
    Dual swing gate openers are commonly used for driveways, parking lots, and other areas where a wide opening is needed and a single gate might be too large or impractical. 
  • Benefits:
    They offer space efficiency as they require less space to swing open compared to a single, long gate. They can also provide a more elegant and sophisticated look to the entrance.
