Cardin 10m Photocells

Description

The Cardin CDR999 photocell provides reliable infrared safety detection for automated gates, doors and access control systems. Designed for standard installations, it delivers consistent obstacle detection and system protection across residential and light commercial environments. Using a modulated infrared beam system, the CDR999 operates with a transmitter and receiver to detect interruptions across distances up to 10m. As a result, it ensures safe and controlled operation for everyday automation applications. A compact, weather-resistant housing with IP55 protection ensures reliable outdoor performance. The robust design protects internal components from dust, moisture and environmental exposure across typical installation conditions. Adjustable optics allow flexible alignment, with horizontal rotation up to ±90° and vertical adjustment up to ±30°. This supports installation across a wide range of gate layouts, including offset positioning and uneven mounting conditions. Multiplex synchronisation enables the connection of up to three pairs of photocells within the same system. This reduces interference between beams and allows installers to configure more complex safety layouts with confidence. Digitally controlled double relay outputs provide enhanced safety monitoring, while selectable output contact modes allow compatibility with different control systems and installation requirements. Designed as an essential safety component, the CDR999 integrates seamlessly with Cardin automation systems to protect people, vehicles and property during gate operation. Finally, backed by Downee, the CDR999 combines premium European engineering with local availability, technical support and full compatibility across the Cardin automation range.
