BFT COMPACTA A20-180 Safety Photocell in UAE

Adjustable 20m Safety Photocells for Automatic Gates

BFT COMPACTA A20-180 Photocell Sensors UAE are a paired through-beam safety device for automatic gates and barriers. The compact transmitter and receiver detect an interruption in the infrared beam and provide a safety signal to a compatible automation control board.

The photocell head can be adjusted 90° to the left and 90° to the right, giving 180° total horizontal orientation. This flexibility is useful where the mounting surfaces are not directly facing each other.

COMPACTA A20-180 supports a wide supply range of 12–33V AC or 15–35V DC and has a nominal range of 20 metres. The housing is rated IP44, with published operating temperature from -20°C to +55°C.
