Safety sensor FO-MATIC
The “Safety sensor FO-MATIC” refers to a photocell safety sensor used in automatic door and gate systems.
It’s a photoelectric sensor that creates an infrared beam barrier and detects obstructions in its path. If the beam is interrupted, it triggers a relay to stop or reverse the door or gate movement, preventing accidents.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
-
How it works:
The FO-MATIC sensor consists of a transmitter (emitting the infrared beam) and a receiver (detecting the beam).
-
Purpose:
It’s designed to detect objects or people in the path of a closing door or gate and prevent them from being struck.
-
Applications:
It’s used in various automated systems, including garage doors, sliding doors, and swing gates.
-
Key features:
- Digital coding on two channels (A or B) to prevent interference.
- Double relay for switching contacts.
- It can be used for both safety and anti-theft purposes.
- Digital coding on two channels (A or B) to prevent interference.
-
Safety function:
When the infrared beam is interrupted, the sensor activates a relay to stop or reverse the door, preventing potential injuries.
-
Example:In garage door openers, it prevents the door from closing if a person, pet, or object is in its path.
