Description
Flexible Safety Protection for ATA & B&D Garage Door Openers
The ATA / B&D Safety Beams range provides reliable infrared obstruction detection for compatible garage door openers, with options to suit both wired and wireless installations.
Available in 2-wire monitored systems and fully wireless beam kits, these safety beams are designed to ensure safe operation while giving installers flexibility depending on the site.
Two System Options to Suit Any Installation
🔌 2-Wire Monitored Safety Beams
The wired option uses a 2-wire connection with modulated sensing technology, allowing the opener to verify correct operation of the safety beam system.
This means the controller can detect:
- Beam interruption
- Misalignment
- Wiring faults
- Signal loss
Ideal for new installs with cabling, existing wired setups, and installations requiring monitored safety inputs.
📡 Wireless Safety Beam System
The wireless system uses a battery-powered transmitter and receiver with RF communication, eliminating the need for wiring across the opening.
Key wireless features include no cross-opening wiring, RF communication between transmitter and receiver, and long battery life under normal use.
Ideal for retrofit installations, finished garages, and sites where cabling is difficult or not practical.
Key Features
🛡️ Infrared Obstruction Detection
Creates an invisible beam across the opening. If interrupted, the door will stop and reverse to prevent damage or injury.
🔄 Monitored Signal Technology
2-wire systems use modulated sensing so the opener can confirm correct beam operation, not just beam presence.
📡 Wireless Installation Option
Wireless kits provide the same safety functionality without the need for conduit or hard wiring.
⚙️ Designed for ATA & B&D Systems
Purpose-built for compatibility with ATA and B&D garage door openers.
🔧 Installer Flexibility
Choose between wired or wireless systems depending on site conditions, reducing installation time and complexity.
Benefits
For End Users
- Prevents doors closing on people, pets, or vehicles
- Improves overall safety and reliability
- Supports safe operation of smart-enabled openers
For Installers
- Flexible installation options (wired or wireless)
- Faster installs on retrofit jobs
- No need for workarounds or additional interfaces
- Reliable and proven system for ATA and B&D platforms
How It Works
The system uses a transmitter and receiver mounted on either side of the opening.
The transmitter sends an infrared beam across the doorway. The receiver detects the beam and confirms a valid signal. The opener monitors this signal in wired systems or receives it via RF in wireless systems. If the beam is interrupted or the signal is lost, the door stops and reverses. The system resets automatically once the beam is restored.
Compatibility
Compatible with a wide range of ATA and B&D garage door openers including Tempo, Syncro, CAD Secure, and Smart Opener series.
Always confirm whether your opener requires a wired 2-wire monitored system or a wireless beam kit before installation.
Technical Specifications
2-wire monitored beams use a 2-wire connection with modulated sensing and are designed for standard residential garage door openings.
Wireless safety beams use battery-powered transmitter and receiver units with RF communication, typically operating on a short-range wireless link suitable for garage openings.
Compatibility Notes (Important)
Designed for ATA and B&D openers only.
Available in both 2-wire monitored and wireless configurations.
Not compatible with standard normally closed dry-contact safety beam systems.
Wireless systems require a compatible receiver or base connection at the opener.
Always match the beam type to the opener configuration before installation.
