Description
FAAC XP20B Bus Safety Beam
The FAAC XP20B Bus Safety Beam is a BUS-connected infrared photocell designed for use with compatible FAAC automation control boards. Engineered specifically for FAAC BUS systems, this safety accessory delivers reliable obstacle detection while simplifying installation and wiring requirements.
Unlike conventional photocells that require multiple individual wiring connections, the XP20B integrates directly into the FAAC BUS network. This reduces cable runs and minimises installation complexity, allowing for cleaner wiring layouts and faster commissioning. For installers working with modern FAAC control boards, BUS integration improves efficiency and long-term system reliability.
When the infrared beam between transmitter and receiver is interrupted, the control board immediately detects the obstruction and triggers a stop or reverse command, depending on system configuration. This helps prevent damage to vehicles, property, and gate hardware while enhancing overall user safety.
This BUS safety beam is suitable for both residential and commercial sliding or swing gate systems. Its compact housing is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions while maintaining consistent detection performance. Once connected to a compatible BUS control board, configuration is straightforward and seamlessly integrated within the automation system.
