Why Optical Photo-Eyes Alone Are Not Always Enough
Standard infrared photo-eye sensors project a single horizontal safety beam approximately 15 centimeters above the garage floor. However, if a vehicle bumper, tailgate, or object extends into the doorway above or below this narrow line of sight, the optical beam remains unbroken. Installing a Conductive Wireless Safety Edge Sensor directly inside the bottom EPDM rubber weatherstrip provides continuous tactile protection across the full door width.
How Conductive Wireless Safety Edges Function
- Continuous Internal Conductive Strips: Two flexible copper or conductive polymer ribbons run inside the hollow rubber bulb. Physical compression of even 5mm completes the low-voltage circuit.
- 868 MHz Encrypted Wireless Transmitter: Instantly broadcasts an emergency stop and reverse command to the motor logic board within 50 milliseconds.
- Self-Monitored 8.2kΩ Resistor Circuit: Continuously supervises circuit continuity, triggering fail-safe door reversal if the sensor wire is cut or battery is low.
