The NIR-50-325 Retroreflective Photo Eye can be used as a reversing sensor for any assortment of gates. Its benefits include an extended range for improved performance in rain and snow. It has NC and 10k monitoring. A compact design that allows for easier mounting. A lower current draw that makes it superb for solar and low voltage applications. It comes in a weatherproof casing and is also UL325-2016 compliant for safety devices. These features make the EMX NIR-50-325 the perfect photo eye for any gate setup.

EMX Industries is a manufacturer leading the industry in a wide range of sensor and control applications. Their access control and detection devices are equipped with technologies that sense general motion such as objects, vehicles, and people. Made in the USA, solutions from EMX are engineered and manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio. Participating in the DASMA committee on UL325 specifications, this trusted source stays focused on safety by adhering to their quality control system which promises only the highest quality and performance from their products.

The EMX NIR-50-325 is the upgraded version of the NIR-50. This model is the perfect installation to remain within compliance of UL 325 standards for automatic operation systems. This feature is the major difference between this new upgraded model and the previous version. Classified as an external entrapment device, this retro-reflective photo eye is used as a type B1 non contact sensor for safety and protection. UL325 requires continuous monitoring of all safety devices that are to be connected to a gate or door opener. Class I and II gate openers must have a safety audio alarm functioning properly at all times to protect any object in the activation area of the sensor.

The NIR-50-325 photo eye is an accessory part for a gate system that is configured for normally closed systems. It is meant to be installed alongside a new or already existing gate system. A red LED indicator provides assistance to technicians when aligning the photo eye with the reflector during installation. A yellow LED is used as the signal stability indicator between the sensors. Once the photo eye is installed, the reflective technology directs an infrared beam to the reflector and back to the photo eye again communicating any obstruction in range with a response time of 10ms. UL325 requires continuous monitoring of all safety devices that are to be connected to a gate or door opener. Each gate application requires its own unique monitoring method and it is advised to read the instruction manual from the manufacturer for your particular application. This retro-reflective photo eye equipped with extended range of 50 ft. and was designed to be used with gate operators, overhead garage doors, and other parking barriers.

Made from strong, rigid ABS plastics the enclosure provides complete structural integrity from resistance and force. With an environmental protection rating of IP66 this code indicates how tight the mechanical housing is against water and dust. This ingress protection rating indicates the sealing effectiveness which was designed to be effective against various weather conditions. EXM manufacturer warranty protects from defects and workmanship for up to 2 years of purchase.

The following tools and supplies are suggested in the manufacturer manual for optimal installation. They are not provided by Gate Crafters, however, most tools are available at local hardware stores for purchase or rental.
