FAAC XP 20 D Photocell Sensor UAE

The FAAC XP 20 D Photocell Sensor is an adjustable infrared safety photocell designed for automatic gates, garage doors and compatible access automation systems. The XP20D consists of a transmitter and receiver that create a modulated infrared safety beam across the entrance.

With a maximum operating range of up to 20 metres, 24V AC/DC power supply and IP54 protection, the FAAC XP 20 D provides reliable obstacle detection for residential, commercial and industrial automatic gate installations.

The adjustable optical system provides horizontal adjustment from -90° to +90°, making installation and alignment easier where the transmitter and receiver cannot be positioned perfectly opposite each other.

Technical Specifications

FAAC XP20D 20m Adjustable Infrared Gate Safety Photocells

The FAAC XP20D uses a transmitter and modulated infrared receiver to create a safety beam across an automatic gate entrance. When a vehicle, person or other obstacle interrupts the infrared beam, the receiver changes its output status and communicates with the connected gate control board.

20 Metre Photocell Detection Range

The FAAC XP 20 D provides a maximum photocell distance of up to 20 metres, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial automatic gate entrances.

Actual operating performance depends on correct installation, alignment and site conditions.

Adjustable -90° to +90° Photocell

One of the main advantages of the XP 20 D is its adjustable optical system. The photocell provides horizontal adjustment from -90° to +90°, allowing the infrared beam to be accurately directed toward the opposite photocell.

This provides greater installation flexibility compared with fixed-direction photocell sensors.

Automatic Alignment System

The XP20D provides an auto-alignment angle of approximately ±7° at 20 metres and ±13.5° at 5 metres, helping achieve reliable transmitter and receiver alignment.

Fast 13ms Obstacle Detection

With an obstacle detection time of approximately 13 milliseconds, the XP 20 D quickly detects interruption of the infrared safety beam.

The connected FAAC control board determines the actual gate response according to its programmed safety logic.

24V AC / DC Power Supply

The FAAC XP 20 D operates from a 24V AC or DC power supply, allowing integration with compatible FAAC automatic gate control systems.

IP54 Protection

The photocell enclosure has an IP54 protection rating, providing protection suitable for properly installed outdoor automatic gate applications.

Automatic Gate Safety Sensor

Photocells are an important safety component in an automatic gate installation. When installed across the entrance, they help detect vehicles, people and other obstacles before or during automatic gate movement.

The exact gate response depends on the photocell input and safety logic configured on the automation control board.

Compatible FAAC Gate Automation

The FAAC XP 20 D can be used with compatible FAAC automation and control systems for applications including:

• FAAC sliding gate motors
• FAAC swing gate motors
• FAAC parking gate barriers
• Automatic vehicle entrances
• Compatible FAAC control boards
• Residential and commercial gate automation

FAAC 740 & 741 Sliding Gate Motors

The FAAC XP 20 D is commonly used as a safety accessory with compatible FAAC sliding gate operators, including the FAAC 740 500 KG and FAAC 741 900 KG automation systems.

Professional Installation

Correct installation and alignment are important for reliable photocell operation. The transmitter and receiver should be mounted securely, correctly wired and accurately aligned.

After installation, the photocell safety function should be tested to confirm that interrupting the infrared beam produces the correct response from the automatic gate system.
