Nice EPMB outdoor photocell set, connection via Nice BlueBUS is the smart and professional safety solution for your automation systems — whether they are swing gates, sliding gates, car barriers or other external access applications, this set provides rapid and accurate optical-infringement detection of obstacles in the way of mechanical movement.
Concept of Nice, one of the leaders in automation for residential and industrial access, this set combines advanced technology with a simple and compact installation. The devices are designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments, with excellent performance including in strong light or humidity, providing a high level of protection and reliability.
BlueBUS Technology and Functionality
Due to Exclusive technologies Nice BlueBUS, connecting the photocells to the central automation becomes fast and intuitive. Instead of complex multiple cables, everything is realized by only two threads, being sufficient to connect the pair in parallel and to set the necessary jumpers to the desired function. BlueBUS automatically detects connected devices, simplifying both the initial installation and the expansion of the system with multiple synchronized photocells.
This method reduces connection errors and improves the reliability of your safety system, especially in large projects or with multiple detection points.
Optical Detection Performance and Safety According to Standards
The Nice EPMB photocells are designed to detect the interruptions of the optical beam between transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX), providing a high level of Type D safety, in accordance with the standard EN12453. Function of integrated phototest allows continuous monitoring of the state of the system and improves the detection of defects according to industrial safety requirements.
This system ensures immediate stopping or reversing the direction of movement in case of a person's detection or obstacle in the way of the gate, drastically reducing the risks of unfortunate accidents.
Robust and Durable Outdoor Design
The construction of the Nice EPMB photocells is optimized for the outdoor environment, with degree of protection IP44 which makes them resistant to dust and water splashes, as well as to varying weather conditions.
The compact and easy body not only ensures flexible mounting on flat or embedded surfaces, but also reduces the visual impact on residential or commercial installations. High quality materials and resistance to solar radiation, humidity or mechanical shocks contribute to a long lifespan of the system.
Installation and Compatibility
The installation of the Nice EPMB set is fast and does not require complicated wiring. The BlueBUS system allows the connection in parallel of several pairs of photocells, offering flexibility in complex projects or for further expansion of the installation.
The photocells are compatible with most Nice control units that support BlueBUS technology, but can also be integrated with other systems via the IB interface for standard connections of traditional photocells.
