Safety Sensor P52000H
These sensors, often photoelectric or infrared, create a beam that, when broken by an object, signal the gate opener to halt or retract, ensuring safety for people and vehicles.
-
Types of Sensors:
Common types include photoelectric sensors (also called photo eyes), which use an infrared beam to detect obstructions, and safety edges, which are pressure-sensitive strips that stop the gate when compressed.
-
How they work:
Photoelectric sensors consist of a transmitter that sends an infrared beam and a receiver that detects the beam. If the beam is broken, the receiver signals the gate operator to stop or reverse. Safety edges work by stopping the gate when they come into contact with an object, preventing crushing or shearing hazards.
-
Importance of Safety Sensors:
These sensors are vital for preventing accidents, especially in areas with high traffic or where children or pets might be present. They ensure the gate does not close on a person, vehicle, or object, minimizing the risk of injury or damage.
-
Common Issues:
Photoelectric sensors can become misaligned, causing them to malfunction. A flashing red light on the sensor often indicates misalignment. Safety edges can also be damaged or become less sensitive over time, requiring adjustment or replacement.
-
Installation and Maintenance:Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential for ensuring the safety sensors function correctly. This includes aligning the sensors, checking for damage or wear, and ensuring the sensor wiring is intact.
