7m Sliding Gate Infrared Reflective Sensor

This infrared reflective photoelectric switch is purpose-built for sliding-type electrical gates and garage doors, delivering accurate, repeatable detection at distances up to 7 metres. Housed in a black and red plastic casing, the sensor operates using an internal infrared LED and photodetector pair — it emits a modulated IR signal and responds only to its own reflected waveform, minimising false triggers from ambient light or nearby IR sources. Supplied as one complete kit with no accessories, it connects directly to compatible gate motor control boards. Its reflective architecture makes it ideal for installations where mounting both ends of a through-beam system is impractical — such as narrow side posts or retrofit scenarios with limited access points.
