Product Overview
BFT COMPACTA A20-180 photocells are adjustable automatic gate safety sensors for Abu Dhabi gate and barrier automation systems. They are supplied as a pair of photocells and designed to detect obstacles across the gate opening by using an infrared beam between the transmitter and receiver. The compact body helps installers fit the sensors neatly on posts or walls, while the adjustable head supports horizontal alignment up to 180° total. With a 20 metre nominal range and wide AC/DC power input, these photocells are suitable for safety detection on residential, commercial, and light industrial automation systems.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
BFT COMPACTA A20-180 photocells should be installed with compatible BFT gate, garage, or barrier automation control boards that support photocell safety input and, where required, tested safety management. The transmitter and receiver must be aligned correctly, wired to the right voltage input, and positioned so the infrared beam protects the gate movement area. Professional installation is recommended because wrong wiring, poor alignment, or incorrect safety testing can stop the automation or reduce protection.
