EMX IRB-4X2 Through-Beam Photoeyes

EMX IRB-4X2 Through-Beam Photoeyes

Replacing the original IRB-4X, the IRB-4X2 takes a step further by offering advanced features in a smaller and more convenient package.

The IRB-4X2 photoeye is used as a safety, reversing, or opening device in conjunction with automatic operators. The IRB-4X2 will work with any control board that accepts dry contact on the input. The easy to install IRB-4X2 is used with garage doors, rolling doors, parking barriers and other equipment. *Not for use in applications requiring UL325 compliance.

This thru beam photoeye is an external entrapment protection device type B1, non-contact sensor for use with automatic gates and doors. The photoeye provides a signal from the RX (receiver) to the gate or door operator that the beam is, or is not obstructed. The IRB-4X-2 operates up to 115 feet. The red alignment indicator on the RX provides status information at a glance, making set-up and alignment easy.
