How PHOTON II Works
Next-generation infrared detection without the wiring hassle.
The system uses infrared beams to detect any obstacle in the path of your gate. The transmitter sends a beam to the receiver, and any interruption triggers the gate to stop or reverse.
Wireless technology eliminates the need for trenching, reducing installation time and costs significantly.
Ideal Applications
- Residential swing and sliding gates
- Commercial and industrial entrance gates
- Integration with security systems & alarms
- Locations where underground wiring is difficult
The internal battery ensures continuous operation even when mains power is interrupted.
