The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 Photocell Sensor is a pair of adjustable safety photocells designed for automatic gates, barriers and compatible access automation systems. Featuring a compact design and a nominal operating range of up to 20 metres, the COMPACTA A20-180 provides reliable infrared safety detection for residential, commercial and industrial gate automation installations.

One of the main advantages of the BFT COMPACTA A20-180 is its highly flexible adjustable optical head. The photocell can be adjusted horizontally by 90° to the left and 90° to the right, providing a total adjustment of 180°. This makes alignment easier where the transmitter and receiver cannot be installed directly facing each other.

The photocells support a wide power supply range of 12–33 Vac and 15–35 Vdc, allowing integration with a variety of compatible BFT gate automation control systems. Their compact dimensions and adjustable design provide increased installation flexibility in locations where conventional fixed photocells may be difficult to align.

The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 is an ideal safety accessory for automatic sliding gates, swing gates and parking barrier systems where reliable obstacle detection is required.

180° Adjustable Photocell Sensor

The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 provides excellent installation flexibility through its adjustable optical head. The sensor can be rotated horizontally by approximately 90° to either side, providing a total adjustment range of 180°.

This adjustable design is particularly useful where gate pillars, walls or other installation conditions make direct photocell alignment difficult.

20 Meter Nominal Operating Range

The COMPACTA A20-180 provides a nominal photocell range of up to 20 metres. The transmitter and receiver create an infrared safety beam across the gate or vehicle passage.

When the beam is interrupted by a vehicle, person or other obstacle, the connected automation control system can respond according to its programmed safety logic.

Automatic Gate Safety Protection

Photocell sensors are an important safety component for automatic gate systems. The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 can help detect obstacles in the gate movement area and provide a safety input to the compatible gate automation control board.

Depending on the control board programming, interruption of the photocell beam can prevent closing, stop movement or reverse the gate to reduce the risk of contact with vehicles, people or objects.

Wide AC/DC Power Supply Range

The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 supports a wide electrical input range of 12–33 Vac and 15–35 Vdc. This provides flexibility when integrating the photocells with compatible automatic gate and barrier control systems.

Compact Design for Flexible Installation

The compact housing combined with the adjustable optical head makes the BFT COMPACTA A20-180 suitable for installations where available mounting space is limited.

The adjustable design also makes alignment easier when the two photocells cannot be installed perfectly opposite each other.
