IP55 Safety Beam for Gates

The Ruth's sister infrared safety beam photocell is an IP55 rated detector designed for automated gate and garage door systems. It operates on a 12-24V supply to create a protective infrared barrier that stops or reverses gate movement when the beam is interrupted.

Simple Wired Installation

Installation involves mounting the transmitter and receiver units opposite each other and wiring them to the gate control board at 12V or 24V. The main difficulty is achieving precise optical alignment across the driveway so the beam remains unbroken during normal operation.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the infrared safety beam is aligned and working after installing it on my automated gate?

After mounting the photocell pair opposite each other, power the units with a 12-24V supply; the beam is active when the gate stops or reverses immediately as an object breaks the infrared path between the sensors.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a power supply or wiring separately?

The package includes the transmitter and receiver photocells for the IP55 infrared safety beam; a 12-24V DC power source and suitable low-voltage cable are not included and must be sourced separately.
