Set (transmitter and receiver) of Nologo IR-5001P / Zoom Z2E safety photocells
Set (transmitter and receiver) of Nologo IR-5001P / Zoom Z2E safety photocells. They have a range of 20m and operate with a voltage of 12-24 VDC or 12-24 VAC. The safety solution for all garage door automations.
The transmitter emits an infrared light beam, in the invisible spectrum, which is directed towards the receiver. When there is no obstacle interrupting the beam, the door operates normally. When the beam is interrupted by an obstacle (vehicle, pedestrian, pet, etc.) during the door's closing, the control panel instructs the mechanism to perform the action it is programmed for. Usually, there are two options: stopping the door or stopping it momentarily and starting reverse motion.

Detailed description of NOLOGO IR5001P / Zoom-Z2E photocells
The NOLOGO IR5001P / Zoom-Z2E photocells consist of a transmitter and a receiver and have a range of 20m. They are wired, so they require separate wiring for both the transmitter and the receiver, which will lead to the control panel.
Technical specifications of NOLOGO IR5001P / Zoom-Z2E photocells:
- Operating voltage: 12 or 24 V DC, 12 or 24 V AC
- Maximum operating distance: 20m
- Maximum switch contact current: 0.5 A at 48 V AC/DC
- Transmitter operating current: 25 mA
- Receiver operating current: 35 mA
- Interference rejection circuit from other light sources
- Automatic focusing
The usual installation height for photocells is around 50cm from the ground.
Safety photocells slightly increase the installation cost, but the protection they provide is very important and prevents material damage as well as injuries to passers-by, children, pets, etc.
They are very reliable, work even with small deviations in their centering (they have automatic focusing) and are not significantly affected by weather conditions.
How safety photocells work
The transmitter emits an infrared light beam, in the invisible spectrum, which is directed towards the receiver. When there is no obstacle interrupting the beam, the door operates normally. When the beam is interrupted by an obstacle (vehicle, pedestrian, pet, etc.) during the door's closing, the control panel instructs the mechanism to perform the action it is programmed for. Usually, there are two options: stopping the door or stopping it momentarily and starting reverse motion.
An alternative to wired photocells is the installation of photocells with a reflector. These photocells do not require wiring on both sides of the door, making their installation easier. They are preferred in cases where the door and the surrounding area have been completed without provision for wiring. They incur a small additional cost compared to wired photocells, but they are a very good solution when wiring cannot be run.
