The Centurion i5 Wired Safety Beam provides reliable, long‑distance obstruction detection (up to ~40 meters) for automated gates. It uses a wide infrared beam and onboard LED indicators to simplify alignment and reduce false triggers. It works on 12‑24 V AC or DC, with fail‑safe relay contacts and is built to withstand typical outdoor environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.
The Centurion i5 Wired Safety Beam is an infrared obstruction‑detection device designed for automated gates, garage doors, and similar entryways. It comprises two units—a transmitter and a receiver—mounted opposite each other across the gate opening. The transmitter emits a modulated IR beam; when this beam is interrupted (by a person, vehicle, or object), the receiver triggers a relay. This halts or reverses the gate movement, helping prevent accidents. Features include wide‑beam alignment, LED indicators for easy setup and diagnostics, compatibility with intruder‑alarm systems, and support for a range of supply voltages
