Rollkit FTO-15 reflective photocell with reflector, range 10 m, relay

The Rollkit FTO-15 is a safety photocell for gates that sends a light beam to a reflector and evaluates its return. You run cables only to the photocell itself. On the opposite side of the passage, you simply screw on the reflector, which needs no power supply. It is particularly suitable where running a cable to the other side is difficult.

Wiring

• Power supply – 12–36 V DC or 10–24 V AC. With a 12 V DC supply the range may be reduced.
• Output – changeover relay contact (NC, NO, COM), connected to the safety input of the control board like a standard photocell relay.
• 2 or 4 wires – DIP switch off = 4-wire connection, on = 2-wire connection for control boards that support it. The diagram is in the enclosed instructions.

Adjustment

You aim the beam at the reflector with three screws. The indicator light stays on until the photocell and reflector are aligned. When it goes off, the beam is hitting the reflector correctly. The polarising filter also detects shiny objects.

Photocells with transmitter and receiver facing each other are the Rollkit FT-12. More types can be found in the photocells category, for example the Nice Era EPMOR with a range of 15 m. Please send any questions to eshop@saver.sk.
