The Nice Apollo MOFB Moon Photocell detector prevents gates from closing on obstacles in its path. With the latest in photocell technology, the Blue Bus communication system reveals obstacles situated on the optical axis between the transmitter and receiver. These safety components ensure children, pets, and other objects stay out of harm's way.
This advanced gate safety system is easily installed with a mere two wires, and maintenance is minimal. These photocells do not require any special work aside from checking them once every six months to evaluate their condition. The units are vertically wall-mounted.
