Φωτοκύτταρο CAME DIR 10 (Μοντέλο DIR10, MPN 30518) για ασφάλεια πυλών και μπαρών

CAME DIR 10 photocell sensor is an infrared safety device designed for use with automated gates and barriers. The DIR10 model provides presence detection across passageways to prevent collisions and ensure safer operation of sliding and swing gates as well as vehicular barriers. Compact and intended for integration with gate drives and control units, this sensor complements access system equipment by adding an additional layer of obstacle detection and accident prevention.

Advantages

The DIR 10 sensor uses an infrared beam to detect objects and people in the path of moving gates and barriers, offering consistent detection performance in typical outdoor installation conditions. Its compact housing simplifies mounting near gate posts or barrier arms and allows straightforward wiring to standard control panels. Designed specifically for gate and barrier safety, the sensor contributes to compliance with basic access system safety requirements by reducing the risk of impact during operation.

Suitable for

• Automated sliding gates
• Swing gates with electromechanical drives
• Vehicular barrier arms and road access barriers
• Gate installations requiring simple presence detection for safety interlocks

Key specifications

• Detection type: infrared optical beam presence detection
• Intended application: outdoor gate and barrier safety
• Mounting: wall or post mounting near gate or barrier mechanism
• Integration: wired connection to gate control units and safety inputs
• Operating conditions: designed for typical outdoor environments (protected mounting recommended)

How to use

Install the transmitter and receiver units aligned across the passageway at the recommended height, ensuring a clear line of sight between them. Connect the sensor wiring to the gate or barrier control panel following the manufacturer's wiring diagram and observing proper safety input connections. After powering the system, verify alignment and adjust mounting positions as needed until the sensor reliably detects a test object across the beam. Perform functional tests with the gate or barrier control to confirm that detection triggers the intended safety response, such as stopping or reversing movement.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, mount the photocell units where they are protected from direct spray, heavy contamination, and strong ambient infrared sources. Regularly check alignment and clean optical surfaces to maintain detection accuracy. Use the DIR 10 in combination with other safety devices (edge sensors, safety edges, and control unit safety circuits) to achieve comprehensive protection for automated gates and barriers.
