Seco-Larm E-936-S45RRGQ Retro Reflective Photoelectric Beam Sensor, 45ft (14m) Sensing Range, Weatherproof (IP66) Construction for Indoor/Outdoor use, Pre-Wired 6ft (1.8m) Cord

Description

Product Overview

The Seco-Larm E-936-S45RRGQ retro reflective photoelectric beam sensor is engineered for high‑reliability detection across a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. With a maximum sensing distance of 45 feet (14 meters), this sensor can monitor large open spaces, entryways, and perimeter zones with precision. Its IP66‑rated enclosure guarantees full protection against dust, water jets, and harsh weather, making it suitable for both indoor installations and exposed outdoor environments. The unit operates on a corded electric power source, eliminating the need for battery replacements and ensuring continuous performance. The compact dimensions of 1.54″ D × 0.81″ W × 2.48″ H and a weight of just over a pound allow flexible mounting on poles, walls, or brackets, while the pre‑wired 6‑foot (1.8 m) cable simplifies wiring and reduces setup time.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this beam sensor excels in a variety of security and automation scenarios. It can be integrated into traditional alarm systems to trigger alerts when the invisible infrared beam is interrupted, providing an effective deterrent for intruders. In lighting control applications, the sensor can activate or deactivate exterior floodlights, pathway illumination, or garage door lighting based on presence detection, conserving energy while enhancing safety. Smart‑home hubs and home automation platforms can also leverage the sensor’s output to coordinate with door locks, gate operators, and environmental controls, creating a seamless, interconnected environment. The adjustable sensing range—from as close as 6 inches to the full 45 feet—allows users to fine‑tune detection zones for specific use cases, such as monitoring narrow doorways, wide gate openings, or long corridors. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in temperatures up to 131 °F, making it ideal for outdoor installations exposed to direct sunlight or fluctuating weather conditions.
