Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does a photocell work on a gate?

An infrared light barrier detects when the beam is interrupted. The door then stops immediately or doesn't move at all.

Which light barrier is the right one?

Through-beam sensors offer the highest level of safety, while reflective models are simpler and cheaper for standard applications.

Can I retrofit a light barrier?

Yes – our models are retrofittable and compatible with most drives. Connection is via the safety contacts.

Are light barriers weatherproof?

Many models with IP65 or higher – dust and splash-proof, ideal for outdoor use.

What happens when exposed to direct sunlight?

Our models operate with modulated infrared light , which works reliably even in strong sunlight. For critical environments, we recommend through-beam sensors.
