The BFT FL130 is a photoelectric safety sensor designed for use with automated doors and gates.

It’s a rectangular photocell that acts as a safety device, preventing the gate from closing on obstacles or people. The sensor includes a transmitter and receiver, and its primary function is to detect when an object breaks the infrared beam between the two units, triggering a safety mechanism.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Function:

The FL130 is a safety feature for automated gates and doors. It uses an infrared beam to detect obstructions in the path of the gate.
Components:

It consists of a transmitter and receiver pair, which are typically mounted on opposite sides of the gate or door opening.
How it works:

When the infrared beam between the transmitter and receiver is broken (e.g., by a person or object), the receiver sends a signal to the gate’s control unit, causing it to stop or reverse the gate’s movement.
Applications:

It’s commonly used in residential and commercial settings with automated gates, garage doors, and sliding doors.
BFT FL130B:

There’s also a BFT FL130B version, which is an adjustable photocell with self-alignment features. The FL130B can be used as a safety device (type D) as per EN12453 regulations if connected to a control unit with a circuit that verifies the correct functioning of the safety devices.
