EMX NIR-30 Retroreflective Photoeye (Non-UL)

Non-UL Safety Sensor for Gates, Overhead Doors, and Barriers

The EMX NIR-30 Retroreflective Photoeye offers reliable entrapment protection for commercial gates, overhead doors, and parking barriers. Its non-contact sensing technology ensures smooth and secure operation by reflecting its beam back to the photoeye, eliminating the need for additional wiring across the roadway. This design simplifies installation, reduces labor, and enhances system reliability.

Important Note: The NIR-30 is not UL325 compliant. For gate and door operators that require a monitored safety device to meet UL325 standards, EMX offers UL325-compliant photoeyes. The NIR-30 is ideal for applications where UL compliance is not mandatory but effective entrapment protection is still necessary.

Built to withstand harsh outdoor environments, the NIR-30 features IP66-rated weatherproof housing and operates over a 30-foot detection range. Its flexible voltage options (12-240 VDC / 24-240 VAC) and dual LED alignment indicators make it a versatile and user-friendly solution for enhancing the safety of gate and barrier systems.

Key Features

• Non-UL Photoeye – Provides entrapment protection but does not meet UL325 standards for monitored safety.
• Flexible Voltage Compatibility – Operates on 12-240 VDC or 24-240 VAC, allowing seamless integration with various gate and overhead door operators.
• Effortless Installation – Retroreflective design reduces the need for complex wiring, requiring components on only one side of the gate or barrier.
• Extended Detection Range – Up to 30 feet, ensuring broad coverage and enhanced safety.
• Weather-Resistant Build – The IP66-rated housing protects against dust, water, and environmental conditions, making it perfect for outdoor use.
• Fast Response Time – 10 ms maximum response for quick detection and smooth gate operation.
• LED Alignment Indicators – Dual LED lights simplify installation and troubleshooting by providing immediate status feedback.
• Compact Size – Space-saving design measuring 2.5” x 1.5” x 0.75”, allowing for installation in tight spaces.
