Proxima POA Anti-Collision Photocells (Through-Beam, 15m, IP54)

The Proxima POA anti-collision photocells are a reliable safety solution for automatic gate systems, barriers, and garage doors. Designed as a through-beam pair (transmitter and receiver), they create an invisible infrared curtain that detects obstacles and prevents accidental closure. With a detection range of up to 15 meters and an IP54 rating, these photocells are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Advantages

Modulated infrared technology ensures high immunity to ambient light interference. The relay output with NO/NC contacts allows flexible integration with various control panels. LED alignment indicators simplify installation and beam alignment. The anti-collision feature enhances safety by stopping or reversing gate movement when an object is detected.

Suitable for

• Gate automation systems (swing, sliding, barrier)
• Garage door openers
• Industrial door safety
• Access control entrances
