Came DIR10 outdoor photocell set, radius 10 meters is the ideal solution for the safety and efficiency of access automation systems. Specially designed to detect obstacles and protect users and equipment, this set of photocells combines top infrared technology with the brand's recognized robustness and reliability Came.
Whether you have a sliding gate in the yard, an automatic access system in commercial spaces or a car barrier, Came DIR10 offers a versatile and easy-to-integrate solution, suitable for both residential and industrial projects.
What photocells are and why they are important
Outdoor photocells represent Infrared beam safety sensors detecting objects, persons or vehicles in the area of operation of an automation. When the beam between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, the system interprets this interruption as a presence in the risk zone and can stop or reverse the movement of the gate – thus protecting the user and the mechanism.
Sustainable design and construction
The Came DIR10 set is designed with a robust housing of ABS and polycarbonate, capable of continuously operating under harsh external conditions due to the degree of protection IP54 anti‑intemperii.
Being compact and discreet, this set can be mounted on the pillars, walls or elements of the gate without affecting the aesthetic appearance of the installation.
Synchronised infrared detection technology
Heart Came DIR10 is technology Synchronised infrared beam: the transmitter and the receiver communicate with each other to remove external interference, ensuring accurate detection over distances up to and including 10 meters.
This intelligent synchronization ensures that the system only detects the correct signal of its pair without being disturbed by other light sources or sensors around it.
Compatibility and integration
Came DIR10 is compatible with the majority of control units for classic photocell entry gates (without BUS), being ideal for automatic sliding doors, batantes or car barriers.
You can integrate this set with CAME controllers or other brands that accept sensors with standard input.

How Came DIR10 works in practice
- Instant detection: The infrared beam created between the transmitter and the receiver shall cover up to 10 m.
- Safety signal: If the beam is interrupted (e.g. a person or vehicle passes), the control unit shall receive the signal and may stop or reverse the automation movement.
- Intelligent synchronization: The receiver shall only operate with the dedicated transmitter, without interference from other installations.
- Quick installation: Simple mounting on the surface with 4-wire connection, without the need for a BUS system.
