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:

Detection: The sensor detects the presence of an object or person in the gate’s path.
Signal: The sensor sends a signal to the gate operator.
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.

Description

Safety sensor FT2008

The safety sensor FT2008 is a photoelectric safety sensor specifically designed for use in the automation of doors and gates.

Safety sensor FT2008 functions by emitting and detecting infrared light beams to detect the presence of obstacles in the path of the door or gate.

If an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor sends a signal to the control board, which then takes appropriate action like stopping or reversing the movement of the door or gate.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Functionality:

The safety sensor FT2008 consists of a transmitter and a receiver that are positioned on opposite sides of the door or gate opening.
Detection:

The transmitter emits an infrared light beam, and the receiver detects this beam.
Obstacle Detection:

If something (like a person, animal, or object) crosses the path of the light beam, the receiver will no longer detect the beam. This interruption triggers a signal.
Control System:

The signal from the safety sensor is sent to a control board, which is usually not included with the sensor itself. The control board then manages the automated door or gate mechanism, such as stopping or reversing the movement.
Safety Applications:

This type of sensor is commonly used in automatic doors and gates to prevent accidents and injuries.
Universal Application:

The FT2008 is designed to be versatile and can be used with various door and gate designs.

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.

Safety sensor – BFT FL130

Accessories

$167.85

Ship or pick up from our office.

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.
