SOMFY Automatic Gate Safety Photocells
The SOMFY MASTER PRO BITECH photocells improve automatic gate safety by monitoring the protected passage area with a photoelectric beam.
If a vehicle, pedestrian or other obstacle interrupts the beam, the photocell sends a safety signal to the connected control system. Depending on controller programming, the gate can stop, remain open or reverse its movement.
Gate & Garage Door Obstacle Detection
Somfy designed the MASTER PRO BITECH for both automatic gate and garage door applications.
This allows the photocells to protect vehicle and pedestrian access points on compatible sliding gates, swing gates and automatic garage doors.
Standard 4-Wire Connection
The SOMFY MASTER PRO BITECH supports a conventional 4-wire connection with compatible automation control systems.
This connection method can be used where the gate or garage door controller provides the appropriate photocell power and safety inputs.
2-Wire BUS Operation
The MASTER PRO BITECH can also operate using a 2-wire BUS connection with compatible SOMFY automation systems.
BUS operation can simplify wiring because compatible control systems manage power and communication through the supported connection architecture.
24V AC/DC Photocell Sensor
The SOMFY MASTER PRO BITECH operates from a 24V AC/DC supply.
The exact wiring configuration should be selected according to whether the installation uses conventional 4-wire operation or a compatible 2-wire BUS system.
Compact & Discreet Design
Somfy designed the MASTER PRO BITECH with a narrow and discreet housing to integrate neatly into the gate or garage door environment.
The slim construction allows professional installation on suitable posts, columns and walls without creating a bulky appearance.
Optional Anti-Impact Protective Cover
An optional protective cover is available to help protect the photocells against accidental impacts and vandalism.
This can be especially useful for parking entrances, commercial properties and other locations where the sensors may be exposed to vehicle movement or public access.
IP54 Outdoor Protection
The SOMFY MASTER PRO BITECH has an IP54 protection rating, making it suitable for correctly installed outdoor gate and garage automation systems.
Correct mounting and cable protection should still be maintained to provide reliable long-term operation.
Compatible with SOMFY ELIXO Gate Motors
The MASTER PRO BITECH is offered by SOMFY as a safety accessory for compatible ELIXO sliding gate systems.
Somfy's UAE documentation specifically includes MASTER PRO BITECH photocells with the ELIXO 800 230V RTS accessory and package range.
SOMFY ELIXO 500 / 800 Applications
The photocells can be used with compatible SOMFY ELIXO 500 and ELIXO 800 sliding gate automation systems according to the control-board configuration.
They provide obstacle detection across the vehicle passage area during automatic gate opening and closing.
SOMFY ELIXO 2000 Applications
SOMFY also lists MASTER PRO BITECH photocells among accessories for the heavy-duty ELIXO 2000 230V RTS sliding gate motor.
For large commercial or industrial gates, photocell position should be selected according to the complete safety layout of the entrance.
Compatible Garage Door Applications
The MASTER PRO BITECH is designed not only for gates but also for compatible SOMFY garage door automation.
Photocells can help prevent an automatic garage door from closing while a vehicle, person or object remains within the protected opening.
How SOMFY Photocells Work
The photocell pair consists of a transmitter and receiver installed opposite each other.
The transmitter sends a photoelectric beam toward the receiver. When the beam is interrupted, the connected SOMFY automation controller receives the safety signal and reacts according to its programmed operating logic.
Correct Photocell Alignment
Correct alignment between the transmitter and receiver is essential for dependable photocell operation.
Both units should be mounted securely, positioned directly opposite each other and protected against movement after installation.
Automatic Sliding Gate Applications
On sliding gate systems, MASTER PRO BITECH photocells can be installed across the vehicle entrance to help prevent closing when the protected beam is interrupted.
Automatic Swing Gate Applications
For swing gates, photocells can be positioned according to the gate movement area and required safety zones.
Because swing gate leaves move through a larger area, additional safety devices may be required depending on the installation.
Garage Door Applications
For garage doors, the photocell beam is normally positioned across the garage opening to detect vehicles, people or objects before and during automatic closing.
Professional SOMFY Photocell Installation
Professional installation is recommended for the SOMFY MASTER PRO BITECH. The installer should select the correct 4-wire or BUS connection, position the sensors accurately and test the safety response after installation.
The gate or garage door should be tested through multiple complete operating cycles while interrupting the photocell beam to confirm correct controller response.
