A straightforward replacement photocell
Made for universal fitting on gate and garage door controllers.
Battery or wired
Power from your controller’s 12–24 V accessory output, or use batteries where running a new cable is awkward.
Universal NO/NC relay
A jumper sets the safety relay to normally open or normally closed to suit your control board. Most safety inputs need NC.
Simple receiver wiring
The receiver needs a 3 or 4 core connection to the controller: 12–24 V+, 0 V/COM and signal.
Fits wooden posts out of the box
The supplied fixings suit wooden posts. On metal posts, drill the back plate to suit and use the right screws, such as self-tapping screws.
Step-by-step guide
Our installation guide covers power, safety wiring, NO/NC and wiring photocells in series.
Choosing batteries
Batteries are not included. For battery use outdoors in cold weather, lithium batteries perform better.
