Proxima PMBH Photoelectric Safety Sensors (H-Bus) for Hormann Gates

The Proxima PMBH is a pair of photoelectric safety sensors (photocells) designed for use with Hormann gate and garage door operators. These sensors utilize modulated infrared technology and communicate via the Hormann H-Bus system, ensuring reliable obstacle detection for automated gates and doors.

Advantages

Compatible with a wide range of Hormann operators including SupraMatic, ProMatic Series 3/4, LineaMatic, RotaMatic, and VersaMatic. The H-Bus integration simplifies wiring and provides a clean installation. With a detection range of up to 8 meters and a fast response time of less than 50 ms, these sensors offer robust safety performance. The IP54 rating ensures protection against dust and water splashes, making them suitable for outdoor use.
