The CAME DIR series is the industry standard for infrared safety photocells. These devices are essential for gate safety, creating an invisible infrared beam that, when broken by an obstacle (vehicle or person), signals the control panel to stop or reverse the gate movement.
DIR10: Standard range up to 10 meters.
DIR20: Extended range up to 20 meters.
DIR30: Long-range up to 30 meters.
| Feature | Specification |
| Power Supply | 12V – 24V AC/DC |
| Protection Rating | IP54 |
| Beam Alignment | Adjustable (on select models) or fixed |
| Compatibility | Universal (compatible with almost all CAME 24V and 230V panels) |
| Installation | Surface-mounted (optional recessed housing available) |
Versatility: The DIR series can be used for various configurations:
Safety: Stops the gate if an obstacle is detected during closing.
Control: Triggers an automatic open command when a vehicle passes through.
Durable Design: Housed in a compact, weather-resistant plastic casing designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
Flexible Installation: Can be mounted directly onto a wall/pillar or, for a more aesthetic look, fitted into the DIR-CN recessed column housing.
Synchronization: If you are installing multiple sets of photocells (e.g., one at the pillar and one at the swing limit), you can synchronize them to prevent interference between beams.
| Range for cells in metres | 10m, 20m, 30m |
