Simple Install Infrared Sensor – JUTAI IR-20 for Door Automation & Security Systems

Product Overview

Core Features & Advantages (Simple Install Focused)

1. Hassle-Free Installation & Setup

• Tool-Minimal Mounting: Supports wall mounting (3x 5mm drill holes with screw anchors) and metal surface mounting (3x 3mm self-tapping screws)—fits most door frames, security fences, and building exteriors without custom modifications.
• Clear Wiring & Labeling: Terminals are prominently marked (TX: 1-2 for power; RX: 1-3 for power, 4=COM, 5=NC, 6=NO) to eliminate confusion. No complex wiring diagrams are needed—even first-time installers can complete connections in minutes.
• Intuitive Alignment: The RX’s bright red LED indicator (off when beam is aligned, on when interrupted) provides real-time feedback. Simply adjust the TX/RX positions until the LED turns off—no calibration tools or technical expertise required.
• Snap-On Front Panel: The front panel lifts easily for wiring access and closes securely with provided screws, streamlining the final setup step and protecting internal components from dust.

2. Weatherproof & Reliable Performance

• IP55 Ingress Protection: Resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for direct outdoor installation (e.g., garage door exteriors, commercial entryways) without additional enclosures.
• Wide Temperature Adaptation: Operates stably from -10°C to +60°C, adapting to diverse climates—from cold winters to hot summer environments—without performance degradation.
• Anti-Interference Design: Optimized optical filtering minimizes false triggers from ambient light (sunlight, fluorescent fixtures) and environmental debris, ensuring consistent performance in busy door automation scenarios.

3. Universal Compatibility & Practical Functionality

• Flexible Power Input: Works with 12-24V AC/DC (non-polarized) power supplies, seamlessly integrating with standard door controllers, security alarm panels, and access control systems—no specialized power adapters needed.
• Versatile 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 door automation and security hardware.
• Low Power Consumption: TX max operating current ≤25mA and RX max operating current ≤35mA, supporting energy-efficient 24/7 operation without excessive power usage.

Technical Specifications

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Mounting Site: Choose a location with a clear line of sight between the TX and RX (avoid obstacles like bushes or door hardware). For walls, drill 3x 5mm holes and insert screw anchors; for metal surfaces, drill 3x 3mm holes for self-tapping screws.
2. Access Wiring Terminals: Lift the front panel of both the TX and RX to expose the terminal blocks—no tools required for panel removal.
3. Connect Power & Controls:
   • Wire 12-24V AC/DC power to TX terminals 1 and 2.
   • Connect the same power supply to RX terminals 1, 2, or 3 (matching the voltage rating).
   • Link RX terminals 4 (COM), 5 (NC), and 6 (NO) to your door controller, alarm panel, or access system.
   
   
4. Align the Sensor Pair: Adjust the positions of the TX and RX until the RX’s red LED turns off—this indicates a stable beam connection.
5. Secure & Test: Close the front panels and fasten them with the provided screws. Test by interrupting the beam—verify the RX LED turns on and the connected system (door controller/alarm) responds correctly.

Typical Applications

• Residential Garage Doors: Prevents entrapment of people, pets, or objects during closure, enhancing home safety.
• Commercial Sliding Doors: Ensures safe operation in malls, retail stores, and office buildings—stopping doors from closing on pedestrians.
• Industrial Gate Automation: Detects vehicles or obstacles in the path of industrial sliding gates or parking barriers.
• Perimeter Security: Creates invisible beam barriers for backyard fences, office perimeters, or restricted access zones—triggering alarms for unauthorized entry.
• Public Facility Entrances: Enhances safety for automatic doors in hospitals, schools, and train stations, where ease of installation and reliability are critical.
