BEA Microcell Infrared Safety Beams

North Shore Commercial Door now carries the Microcell Photo Safety Beam by BEA. The Microcell is a set of active infrared beams offering protection in the threshold of a sliding door or on the guide rails of a swinging/folding door. The Microcell's transmitter sends an infrared beam to a receiver that, if broken by a person, animal or object, will deactivate the door until the infrared connection is restored. Due to the compact design, the Microcell system can be used in single or double doors, as well as specific applications such as railways, security entrances, etc. Microcell maximum detection range is 197 inches with an 8˚ alignment tolerance when mounted 8 inches above ground. Microcell active infrared technology is immune to ambient light (sunlight or artificial lighting).

10MICROCELL1S is a single photo safety beam set (emitter / receiver) with control box and 18' cable.
