Weatherproof IR Beam Sensor – Professional Anti-Burglar & Access Control Solution

Product Overview

Core Features & Advantages

1. IP55 Weatherproof & Rugged Construction

• IP55 Ingress Protection: Fully shields against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, enabling direct outdoor installation for perimeter anti-burglar barriers without additional enclosures.
• UV & Corrosion Resistance: The durable housing resists sun-induced degradation and harsh weather, maintaining performance in rain, snow, or high-humidity environments—essential for year-round security.
• Wide Temperature Adaptation: Functions reliably from -10°C to +60°C, adapting to diverse climates (from cold residential areas to hot commercial parking lots).

2. 20-Meter Stable Anti-Burglar Detection

• Long-Range Security Coverage: Delivers a focused, consistent infrared beam over 20 meters (indoor/outdoor), covering wide gaps (yard fences, building entrances, or industrial gate openings) with no signal loss.
• Anti-Interference Technology: Optimized optical design minimizes false alarms caused by ambient light (direct sunlight, streetlights), rain, or dust—eliminating unnecessary alerts and ensuring trustworthy anti-burglar performance.
• Intuitive Status Indicator: The RX features a bright red LED: off when the beam is unobstructed (normal security status) and on when interrupted. This allows quick alignment during installation and instant troubleshooting for security teams.

3. Universal Integration for Anti-Burglar & Access Control

• Versatile Power Compatibility: Operates on 12-24V AC/DC (non-polarized), seamlessly integrating with standard anti-burglar alarm panels, access control systems, automatic gate controllers, and PLCs—no specialized power supplies needed.
• SPDT Relay Output: Equipped with Common (COM, terminal 4), Normally Closed (NC, terminal 5), and Normally Open (NO, terminal 6) terminals, ensuring compatibility with all major security and access control hardware.
• Low Power Consumption: TX max operating current ≤25mA and RX max operating current ≤35mA, supporting energy-efficient 24/7 security monitoring without high power costs.

4. Easy Installation & Security-Focused Design

• Dual Mounting Options: Supports wall mounting (3x 5mm drill holes with screw anchors) for residential/commercial exteriors and metal surface mounting (3x 3mm self-tapping screws) for industrial gates or metal fences—adapting to diverse security setups.
• Simplified Wiring & Labeling: Clear terminal markings (TX: 1-2 for power; RX: 1-3 for power, 4-6 for relay output) reduce installation errors, allowing security technicians to set up quickly.
• Tamper-Resistant Assembly: The front panel secures with screws, preventing unauthorized tampering—critical for maintaining the integrity of anti-burglar systems.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

Anti-Burglar Systems

• Residential Perimeter Protection: Invisible beam barriers for yard fences, garden gates, or windows—triggering alarms for unauthorized entry.
• Commercial Building Security: After-hours protection for storefronts, back-of-house entrances, inventory rooms, or office perimeters.
• Industrial Facility Anti-Burglar: Detection for warehouse fences, loading dock entrances, or equipment storage areas—deterring theft or vandalism.

Access Control Systems

• Automated Gate Access: Safety detection for residential/commercial garage doors, industrial sliding gates, or parking barriers—preventing closure on vehicles/pedestrians and blocking unauthorized access.
• Restricted Area Access: Invisible beams for server rooms, data centers, or high-security offices—triggering alerts if unauthorized personnel breach the zone.
• Public Facility Access: Security for hospital restricted areas, school perimeters, or government building entrances—enhancing controlled access.

Installation & Wiring Guide

1. Mounting Preparation: Select a location with an unobstructed line of sight between TX and RX (avoid bushes, moving objects, or direct sunlight on RX). For walls, drill 3x 5mm holes and install screw anchors; for metal surfaces, drill 3x 3mm holes for self-tapping screws.
2. Panel & Wiring Setup: Lift the front panel of both TX and RX, route cables through the housing, and connect as follows:
   • Connect 12-24V AC/DC power to TX terminals 1 and 2.
   • Connect the same power supply to RX terminals 1, 2, or 3 (matching voltage).
   • Wire RX terminals 4 (COM), 5 (NC), and 6 (NO) to your anti-burglar alarm panel or access control system.
   
   
3. Alignment: Adjust TX and RX positions until the RX’s red LED turns off (indicating a stable beam connection). Fine-tune for long-range reliability.
4. Final Security Test: Secure front panels with provided screws. Test by interrupting the beam—verify the RX LED turns on and the connected system (alarm, gate controller) responds instantly.
