Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it compatible with my automation control unit?
A: The 12-24Vdc / 24Vac power supply covers most gate and roller shutter automation control units on the market. Check the available power supply voltage on your control unit before purchasing.
Q: What does “recessed up to 3cm” mean?
A: The photocells can be recessed into the pillar or structure up to a depth of 3cm, with the lens flush with the surface; this allows for a clean, protrusion-free installation.
Q: Does the sunlight filter completely eliminate false alarms?
A: The filter significantly reduces interference caused by direct sunlight, but in conditions of extreme solar radiation (direct sun on the RX lens), occasional interference may occur. It is recommended to orient the photocells to avoid direct sun exposure whenever possible.
Q: Is the 40m range guaranteed outdoors?
A: Yes, the 40m range is the maximum range under standard conditions; outdoors, in fog, heavy rain, or with dirt on the lenses, the effective range may be reduced. Clean the lenses periodically to maintain optimal performance.
