Description
The EMX IRB-MON2 Through-Beam Photoeye is a long-range safety sensor designed for automatic gate and door operators. It works with both UL325-monitored systems and legacy non-monitored setups, delivering dependable entrapment protection across residential driveways, commercial entrances, and industrial sites.
- Long-range detection: 115-foot operating range provides robust coverage for larger entrances without adding extra sensors.
- UL325-compatible and legacy-ready: Seamlessly supports newer UL325-monitored gate openers and older non-monitored installations for flexible deployments.
- Monitoring options: Supports 10K resistive, Normally Closed (NC), and 2-wire pulse monitoring to fit a wide range of control architectures.
- Rugged outdoor enclosure: IP65-rated housing with an integrated sensor hood shields the sensor from dust, rain, and temperature extremes.
- Compact, easy installation: 3.6" x 2.9" x 2.9" form factor with ½" NPT conduit entry; suitable for constrained installation spaces.
- Complete kit included: Transmitter, Receiver, integrated protective hoods, and removable lens sunshield for a quick, complete setup.
- Optional accessories: Red Sunshield reduces sun glare for enhanced reliability; grey or gold protective hoods (EMX-1915-1 grey, EMX-1916-1 gold) add durability and style.
With its 115-foot reach and versatile monitoring options, the IRB-MON2 provides precise entrapment protection while minimizing false trips, even in bright sunlight or adverse weather. The dual compatibility ensures you can upgrade existing systems without replacing hardware, simplifying installation and ongoing maintenance. The rugged IP65 enclosure and protective accessories keep performance steady through rain, dust, and temperature swings—making it ideal for gated communities, commercial facilities, and industrial sites seeking safe, reliable entry control.
