Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does a photocell work on a gate?

An infrared light barrier detects whether an object interrupts the light beam. In this case, the door movement is stopped immediately or prevented altogether – for maximum safety.

Which light barrier is the right one?

Through-beam sensors are particularly safe, but require two mounting points. Retro-reflective sensors are easier to install and often less expensive—ideal for standard applications.

Can I retrofit a light barrier?

Yes! Our light barriers are retrofittable and compatible with most drives. Connection is made via the control system's safety contacts.

Are light barriers weatherproof?

Many of our models are rated IP65 or higher , making them dust and splash-proof – ideal for outdoor use.

What happens when exposed to direct sunlight?

Our light barriers use modulated infrared light that operates reliably even in direct sunlight. For critical environments, we recommend disposable solutions.
