Key Technical Performances
Roots and sensors
Set of Photocells Protect RF 40 is designed for long coverage — up to 40 m RF synchronised infrared radiation. This means that the high detection distance is sustained without loss of performance, making it ideal for wide automatic gates, long barriers or industrial openings.
Maximum detection distance:
✔ 40 meters
Food and compatibility
Powered to 12–24 V, this set is suitable for both low-voltage and conventional electrical automation installations:
✔ 12 V DC
✔ 24 V DC
✔ 12-24 V AC/DC
This versatility makes the assembly simple on most automations without the need for additional transformers.
Connectivity and signal
Photocells use communication Radio Frequency (RF) for the transmission of detection signals to the control unit. This technology offers:
✔ Higher stability in RF noise mediums
✔ Immunity from common interference
✔ Positioning flexibility
Design and Sustainability
Environmental protection
IP68 – the degree of IP protection guaranteed by this set indicates resistance to:
✔ Powder
✔ Weather (water, snow)
✔ High humidity
✔ Extreme conditions
This means that Proteco photocells can function smoothly even in difficult environments — external, industrial or logistical.
Assembly and installation
Installation of the Proteco RF 40 photocells is intuitive, with no complicated cables between the transmitter and receiver thanks to RF technology. The package includes all the necessary mounting accessories, and the installation flow is detailed in the dedicated technical sheet, reducing time and costs with the installers.
How the Set of Photocells Works
The photocells are optical sensors created to "see if there is an object or person in the detection area. They shall send an infrared beam from the transmitter to the receiver; if the beam is interrupted, the stop or safety control shall be transmitted to the control unit.
This system ensures that gates or barriers do not close if there is an obstacle, reducing the risk of accidents.
Example of Use
Imagine an automatic gate to a residential building or an industrial park. Without the photocell, the kitchen can hit a person, a cart or a vehicle. With Protect RF 40, the system detects the obstacle up to 40 m and automatically stops the movement, ensuring maximum protection for users.
Compatibility with Other Systems
The set is compatible with most market automation plants operating in the 12-24 V field. Proteco systems are widely recognized for their interoperability and industrial quality standards.
