Product Description
Nice EPM is a medium-size outdoor photocell pair designed for automated gates, garage doors, and similar entrance systems in Abu Dhabi. It uses a modulated infrared beam between transmitter and receiver to detect obstacles and improve movement safety during operation. Official Nice documentation confirms 24 V AC/DC operation, a useful range of 15 m, a maximum range of 30 m, IP44 protection, and a compact 50 x 80 x 28.5 mm housing. The pair can be wired through the NC contact as a safety device or through the NO contact as a control device, giving installers better flexibility across residential and light-commercial automation projects. Its compact format helps in neat outdoor installations, while synchronised mode support and the supplied reduction cone help manage interference where two nearby pairs are installed.
