Active infrared sensor OA-4500S(E)

The OPTEX OA-4500 is the new active infrared door sensor standard for use on industrial doors up to a mounting height of 4.5 meters. The OA-4500 has been developed as a combination sensor for safety and activation. The active infrared presence detection protects against early closing of the door, while the activation area activates the door when entering the detection area. This sensor meets market requirements in a variety of industrial door applications.

The OPTEX OA-4500 is based on the active infrared technique, combining activation and safety into one sensor. By using the unique OPTEX presence detection technique the OA-Axis series provides maximum safety around the threshold of an industrial door while simultaneously offering a large motion detection area for door activation.

The active infrared presence detection of the OA-4500 can be set very accurately and can be moved 6° toward or away from the door. The sensor detects a person or object and holds the door open for as long as they are in or near the threshold area, even if they stop or pause.

The large detection area ensures rapid detection of any traffic, including trucks, approaching from any angle. The sensor’s enhanced pattern depth enables it to detect people and objects farther away and allows the door to open conveniently for them. The presence and motion detection areas can be adjusted independently.

Installation time can be minimized using the easily set switches and trimmers, meaning the sensor can be quickly adjusted for many different applications. The use of an OPTEX Infrared finder is recommended to adjust the presence detection area.

• The actual detection area may become smaller depending on the ambient light, the color / material of the object or the floor as well as the entry speed of the object.
• The sensor may not be activated when the entering speed of the object or a person is slower than 50 mm/sec. or faster than 1500 mm/sec.
