The FAAC Q2800 (EMX 1122-1) Retro-Reflective Photo Eye Kit is a high-performance safety sensor solution designed for gate automation, garage doors, and access control systems. Manufactured by FAAC Group, this upgraded version (formerly FAAC 2800) provides reliable obstacle detection using advanced retro-reflective technology.
The IRB-RET2 Retro-reflective Photo Eye is a brand-new compact version of the well-known photo eye. A ball and socket bracket, a reflector extension bracket, and six UL325 monitoring techniques are all included in this American-made photo eye. The new design has a hassle-free alignment LED; the red light flashes quicker as alignment progresses, and when it becomes steady, it indicates that perfect alignment has been found. This kit version comes with the hood with the built-in sensor, simplifying the setup. Installation is far more versatile than with other photo eyes because the operational range can reach up to 60 feet. Thanks to its flexible monitoring methods, the IRB-RET2 is compatible with a variety of gate openers.
Recommended for installers and technicians working with automatic gates, barrier arms, and access control systems. Ideal for environments where quick installation, reliable obstacle detection, and minimal alignment complexity are required. Suitable for residential driveways, commercial entrances, and industrial facilities.
