VITECTOR OPTOEDGE Optical Sensing Edge Now available with indicator LEDs

Safety edge light source – Now with condition-indicator LED

The VITECTOR unit of FRABA has announced an addition to its popular OPTOEDGE sensing edge system for automatic doors and gates. The sensors are now available with an indication LED that displays the operational status of the system.

“The OPTOEDGE system has been very popular with the manufacturers and owners of large industrial doors and gates, providing a highly reliable way of avoiding harmful collisions between these doors and people or objects in their path.” reports Tobias Thiesmann, Product Manager for VITECTOR.

“With the new versions of OPTOEDGE, door owners will be able to determine if everything is working properly by simply checking the indicator LED. The indicator LED will also make it easier for technicians to install new systems.”

Advanced electronics in the new OPTOEDGE components minimize energy requirements and adjust the intensity of the IR light source to match local requirements.

OPTOEDGE systems are suitable for edges between 0.5 and 10 metres. The sensors are sealed against moisture and dust to IP68 and have a temperature range of -20°C to 75°C (-4°F to 167°F).
