Engineering Overview & Technical Standards

Infrared Safety Photocells, LED Warning Lights & Sensors

DoorHan safety devices provide critical active collision detection and visual hazard warning for automated gate, door, and traffic barrier systems. Essential for meeting European workplace safety standards EN 12453 and EN 12604, these sensors continuously monitor the operational movement zone to prevent motorized doors or barriers from contacting vehicles, pedestrians, or equipment.

Our safety sensor line includes the Photocell-N and wireless battery-powered Photocell-W infrared beams, Lamp-PRO multi-voltage LED flashing beacons with integrated antenna, and pneumatic/optical safety bottom edge kits.

Key Technical Specifications & Engineering Standards:

  • Synchronized Infrared Beams: Modulated infrared light transmission prevents false triggering from direct sunlight or ambient headlights.
  • Adjustable Optical Alignment: 180-degree rotatable internal lens facilitates easy beam alignment on uneven wall or post mountings.
  • Wireless Battery-Powered Transmitters: Eliminates the need for asphalt cutting or trenching across driveways during gate automation retrofits.
  • Bright LED Signal Lamps: Long-life LED array provides clear visual warning of gate motion in daylight and darkness with low power consumption.
  • Heavy Weather Protection: Sealed IP54 and IP65 enclosures protect optical lenses and electronics against driving rain, dust, and temperature extremes.

Quality Assurance & Engineering Compliance:

DoorHan access control electronics, microprocessor control panels, optical safety edges, and synchronized photocells comply with European standards EN 12978 and EN 12453. Featuring dynamic rolling code encryption (433.92 MHz Keeloq) and surge-protected IP54/IP65 protective enclosures, our electronics ensure maximum immunity against electromagnetic interference and unauthorized signal cloning.

DoorHan safety accessories ensure fail-safe accident prevention, protecting personnel and valuable vehicles around automated entry points.
