Wireless Battery-Powered Photoelectric Sensors for Door & Gate Applications
October 29, 2009 - Buffalo Grove, IL - Carlo Gavazzi is launching a stylish new long range through-beam photoelectric sensor with a unique battery-powered emitter. The PD180 offers an attractive sensing solution for industrial doors and gates. With a battery-powered emitter, installation is quick and easy, since there is no longer a need to bury cables underground or under pavement, or running additional conduit around door openings. The PD180 can be powered for up to 2.5 years on a pair of 3.6V lithium batteries. Sensing range can be set by the user at 15 or 30 meters.
The PD180's receiver can be powered by 12-24 VAC/DC, providing flexibility for any installation. It contains a SPST relay output for normal door/gate operation, and a separate SPST output for low-battery alert. Mechanical alignments are quite flexible and very simple, thanks to lenses that can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, assuring proper function in even the most challenging installations. Both emitter and receiver are made of heavy duty polycarbonate material, suitable for outdoor use. Furthermore, the 20,000 lux light immunity assures reliable operation - rain or shine. An emitter-mute function allows the sensor to verify proper function before every operating cycle, which contributes to safer door and gate operation.
The PD180 is UL 325 approved, and carries CE and cULus marks, which are your assurance of a high quality, tested, and safe product. List price for a complete set (emitter and receiver) is $138. It is available from Carlo Gavazzi's North American network of sales offices / distributors or www.GavazziOnline.com.
