It creates a safety barrier that identifies any movement between the emitter and receiver. Once the infrared beam is blocked, it perfectly makes the gate stop or reverse automatically. It is strongly recommended to use the TC102 IR beam sensor with automatic gate opener system to ensure multiple protection & security. - Clever Design - The infrared photocell sensor consists of two components: an emitter and a receiver. The emitter is designed to generate an infrared light beam. The receiver is used to detect any interruptions. This non-contact sensing technology provides high detection accuracy with a fast response. In addition, the infrared beam sensor is immune to strong light interference, such as sunlight and vehicle headlights. Weather resistant for all seasons of the year. - Wide Compability - Works with all the TOPENS gate openers. Compatible with most third party swing / sliding gate opener or garage door opener whose control board accepts “Normal Open or Normal Close Dry Contact” signal. It can be powered by the control board of the gate opener or by the external 12-24VDC or 12-24VAC power source. This security infrared sensor is commonly used for the household, courtyard, farm, ranch, warehouse and other commercial / industrial sites. - Easy DIY Installation - Connect both the receiver and the emitter to the gate opener system. It is suggested to mount the photocell sensor at least 8" (20cm) above the ground. Power on to determine the emitter position. The photocell status LED turns off indicating that the beam is aligned. Fix the emitter position when the status LED goes off. Ensure that there is no obstruction between the receiver and the emitter during alignment. - Customer Service and Technical Support - All the TOPENS products come with a 12-month war-ranty against defects, a 30-day worry-free exchange & return and lifetime tech support.
