Infra Red Safety Devices
Infra Red Safety Devices, also known as Photo Beams or Safety Beams, use an infra red beam to detect whether there are any objects that are blocking the gate's closing path.
If an object is detected while the gate is closing then the gate stops closing and re-opens. Once the object is removed from the gate's path the gate will close again.
If an object is in the gate's closing path when the 'open' command is activated (through a remote control or push button for example) then the gate will not close until that object is removed.
Safety beams are often combined with other devices such as Keyless Pads and Intercoms to facilitate a safer and more secure use of the automatic gates.
Safety Beams are recommended for both domestic and commercial uses.
