Centurion Gates Infrared Beam Sensors

Description

Centurion Gate Sensor Price in Kenya

The current Centurion infrared gate beam price is KSh 6,000. The product is supplied as a transmitter and receiver safety-beam system for compatible automatic gates, garage doors and detection applications.

What Are Infrared Gate Sensors?

Infrared gate sensors create an invisible beam across an entrance. When a vehicle, person or object interrupts the beam, the receiver sends a signal to the connected gate motor or control system.

How Safety Beams Help Prevent Gate Collisions

When correctly connected and programmed as a closing safety input, the beam can stop or reverse a gate if the entrance is obstructed. Safety behaviour depends on the gate controller settings and must be tested after installation.

Centurion Beam Sensor Range

The Centurion beam system has a maximum stated range of 40m. Actual performance depends on alignment, mounting stability, wiring, sunlight, weather and whether the line between the transmitter and receiver remains clear.

Are These Wireless Infrared Beam Sensors?

No. This model uses a 12–24V AC or DC power supply and wired connections. Customers requiring fully wireless safety beams should select a compatible wireless Centurion model instead.

Gate, Garage Door and Perimeter Uses

The sensors can be used with compatible sliding gates, swing gates and garage-door controls. They can also support simple perimeter or intruder-detection functions when connected to a suitable alarm or control input.

Easy Alignment and LED Setup Indicators

The wide beam pattern and LED indicators simplify alignment during commissioning. Mount the transmitter and receiver facing one another on stable surfaces, then verify reliable detection across the full entrance.

Weather-Resistant and Ant-Proof Housing

The IP54 enclosure is weather resistant and designed to reduce insect-related faults. The stated operating range is -15°C to +55°C with 0–90% non-condensing humidity.

Gate Beam Installation and Testing

Use the correct power supply, route the cable away from mains interference and connect the output to the appropriate controller input. After alignment, interrupt the beam at several heights and positions to confirm the gate responds safely before normal use.

Why a Gate Beam May Show Active or Fail

A persistent active signal can result from poor alignment, an obstruction, damaged cable, power loss, dirty lenses, water ingress or incorrect controller wiring. Clean and realign the sensors and test the supply before replacing components.
