Hörmann SKS-LE opto transmitter for photocell, 500 mm

The SKS closing edge safety device is a photocell built into the bottom profile of an industrial sectional door. The transmitter on one side sends a beam to the receiver on the other side. When the door presses the profile against an obstacle while closing, the beam is interrupted and the operator stops or reverses. This part is the transmitter (TX).

How to choose the right part

• Cable colour – this transmitter has a grey cable and grey potting compound. Hörmann also makes a version with a black cable (638192) and with a grey PUR cable (635765).
• Cable length – 500 mm. The version with a 1,500 mm cable is no. 635709.
• Receiver – the matching receiver is the SKS-LE 500 mm opto receiver (635702) or 635710.

Installation

The transmitter has a round plastic housing approx. 40 mm long and 14 mm in diameter, which slides into the bottom profile of the door from the side. The cable ends in a plug, so you connect it directly to the SKS board. Before ordering, compare the cable colour of the old part. You will find further parts in the Garage door spare parts category.
