Centurion Safety Beam Photon Smart

Centurion Safety Beam Photon Smart Wireless” is a safety accessory used in conjunction with Centurion gate automation systems to enhance the safety of automated gates, particularly sliding and swing gates. The Photon Smart Wireless Safety Beam is designed to detect obstacles or obstructions in the path of the closing gate, triggering the gate to stop or reverse its movement to prevent accidents

features  Photon Smart Wireless Safety Beam by Centurion:

1. Wireless Design: The “Wireless” designation suggests that this safety beam operates without the need for physical wires running between the transmitter and receiver units. This wireless communication simplifies installation and reduces the need for extensive cabling.
2. Photocell Technology: The safety beam system typically consists of two main components: a transmitter and a receiver, which are positioned on opposite sides of the gate’s path. These components emit and receive infrared (IR) beams. When an object or person interrupts the IR beam between the transmitter and receiver, the system detects the obstruction and triggers the gate’s safety mechanisms.
3. Obstacle Detection: The primary function of the Photon Smart Wireless Safety Beam is to detect obstacles, including vehicles, pedestrians, or objects, in the gate’s path during the closing cycle. When an obstruction is detected, the gate will immediately stop or reverse to prevent accidents and damage.
4. Enhanced Safety: Safety beams are a crucial safety feature for automated gates, ensuring that the gate will not close on people or objects in its path. This helps prevent injuries and property damage.
5. Compatibility: The Photon Smart Wireless Safety Beam is typically designed for compatibility with Centurion gate automation systems. Ensure that it is compatible with your specific Centurion gate opener model before purchasing.
6. Adjustability: These safety beams are often adjustable to allow for precise positioning and alignment, ensuring accurate obstacle detection. Proper alignment is critical to the system’s effectiveness.
7. Easy Installation: The wireless design simplifies the installation process, as it eliminates the need to run cables between the transmitter and receiver units. However, power may still need to be supplied to each unit.
8. Battery Backup: Some safety beam systems, including wireless ones, may come with a battery backup feature to ensure continued operation during power outages.
9. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep the safety beam system in working order. Cleaning the lenses, ensuring proper alignment, and checking for obstructions are part of routine maintenance.
