EMX IRB-4X2 Through-Beam Photoeyes (Non-UL325)

Reliable Long-Range Safety Sensor for Automatic Gates and Doors

The EMX IRB-4X2 is a robust, reliable thru-beam photoeye sensor designed for use with automatic gates and doors. This non-contact sensor is essential for providing external entrapment protection, ensuring that your gate or door reverses or halts operation when an obstruction is detected in the sensor’s beam. With an operating range of up to 115 feet, the IRB-4X2 is ideal for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

This photoeye is housed in an IP65-rated enclosure with an integrated hood, offering superior protection against weather and vandalism. Additionally, the potentiometer range adjustment allows for fine-tuning the sensor’s sensitivity, ensuring precise detection in various settings. Whether you are installing it for a gate or door, the removable terminal block makes wiring simple and straightforward.
