Get a formal quoteThe Centurion Systems Photon II are Photon beams with a battery-powered wireless transmitter, so there is no trench to dig across the driveway for a cable. The transmitter runs on 2 x AA alkaline batteries, while the receiver wires to the gate motor and runs on 12 to 24V AC/DC. Range is up to 30m. For a Centurion Systems SMART or SMART+ motor there is also the fully wireless Photon SMART, and the i5 infrared safety beams are the fully wired option. Pricing is shown to trade account holders after login.
How Photon beams work on a gate
The transmitter and receiver go on opposite sides of the opening, facing each other, about 750mm above the ground. When a car or a person breaks the infrared beam, the receiver's output changes and the gate motor's controller decides what the gate does. The two units can be up to 30m apart.
Wireless transmitter, wired receiver
Only the transmitter is battery powered. It takes 2 x AA alkaline batteries, and Centurion Systems rates them at a minimum of 2 years. The receiver needs 12 to 24V AC or DC and draws 30mA at 12V. Its fail-safe output gives N/C and N/O contacts, rated 3A at 30V DC. Both units are rated IP54 and work from -15°C to +65°C.
