Nice EPM Photocell Sensors

Product Overview

Nice EPM photocell sensors are infrared safety devices for automatic gates, garage doors, and access automation systems in Abu Dhabi. They are supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and use direct optical interpolation with a modulated infrared beam between TX and RX. The EPM model provides a useful range of 15 m, with a maximum range of 30 m when the “+10m” electrical bridge is cut. These photocells help detect obstacles across the gate path and support safer automation performance for compatible Nice control systems.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

These Nice EPM photocell sensors should be connected only with compatible automation control systems that support photocell safety inputs and the required 12 V or 24 V power configuration. The transmitter and receiver must face each other correctly on parallel vertical surfaces or approved column supports, and the installer must test beam interruption, relay response, wiring, and gate safety behaviour before handover. Professional installation is recommended because poor positioning, incorrect voltage selection, or weak wiring can reduce detection reliability. For technical setup details, review the official Nice installation manual.

Packing Includes

• 1 × Nice EPM transmitter photocell
