MS Sedco GD11S Surface Mount Active Infrared Safety Beam System for Automatic Doors and Gates

The MS Sedco GD11S is a self-contained, surface mount active infrared safety beam system engineered for interior or exterior use on any automatic pedestrian door, industrial door, or gate. Featuring a pulsed infrared beam with a range of up to 40 ft. and a built-in variable time delay adjustable from 0.5 to 15 seconds, the GD11S delivers reliable detection and control signaling in demanding commercial environments. When the infrared beam is interrupted, the relay output signals the connected door or gate control to open, stop, or reverse, providing critical safety protection. In the event of a power loss, the GD11S relay changes state in failsafe mode, ensuring safe operation even during power interruptions.

Key Features

  • Pulsed Infrared Beam Range: Detects obstructions across distances of up to 40 ft., providing broad coverage for industrial doors, gates, and pedestrian swing doors.
  • Built-In Variable Time Delay: Adjustable time delay from 0.5 to 15 seconds allows customization of response timing to suit specific door or gate control requirements.
  • Failsafe Operation: In the event of a power loss, the relay automatically changes state to failsafe, maintaining safe door and gate behavior during power interruptions.
  • Weatherproof Housing: Durable weatherproof enclosure supports both interior and exterior installations, making the GD11S suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • Surface Mount Design: Self-contained surface mount configuration simplifies installation on guide rails, industrial doors, gates, and other mounting surfaces without complex integration.
  • Swing Door Safety Circuit Integration: On pedestrian swing doors, when the door is closing and the overhead safety sensor is locked out, interrupting the GD11S beam brings the sensor protecting the swing side back into the safety circuit, inhibiting the door from reopening.
  • Optional GDB Quick Mounting Brackets: The GD11S can be ordered with GDB quick mounting brackets for fast and easy installation on industrial doors and gates.
  • Relay Output Control: Relay output signals compatible door and gate controls to open, stop, or reverse upon beam interruption, enabling seamless integration with existing systems.

Certifications & Compliance

  • Meets compliance with ANSI A156.10 2005 — required standard for pedestrian swing door safety sensor integration
  • Commercial-grade product suitable for professional installation in commercial applications

MS Sedco GD11S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the MS Sedco GD11S safety beam work on an exterior gate, or is it interior only?
Both. The GD11S is built into a weatherproof housing and is rated for interior or exterior use on automatic pedestrian doors, industrial doors, and gates. That is what makes it a common pick for perimeter gates and warehouse dock openings where a non-weatherproof presence sensor would not last.
2) How far apart can the GD11S emitter and receiver be mounted?
Up to 40 feet. The GD11S is a two-piece active infrared set, emitter on one side and receiver on the other, and the pulsed beam is rated 0 to 40 ft. That covers most single and double gate openings and industrial door widths; anything wider than 40 feet between mounting points needs a different beam.
3) Does the GD11S meet ANSI A156.10 for automatic pedestrian doors?
Yes. The GD11S meets compliance with ANSI A156.10 2005, the standard governing safety sensor integration on pedestrian swing doors. If you are specifying sensors for an automatic entrance that has to pass an A156.10 inspection, that is the line that matters.
4) What happens to the GD11S beam if the power goes out?
The relay changes state to failsafe on power loss. So the connected door or gate control sees the same signal it would see on a blocked beam, and the opening behaves safely rather than driving closed blind. Worth knowing before you wire it: your control's response to a failsafe input is what determines whether the door holds open or simply stops.
5) How does the GD11S tie into a swing door that already has an overhead safety sensor?
It covers the gap the overhead leaves. On a pedestrian swing door, when the door is closing and the overhead safety sensor is locked out, breaking the GD11S beam brings the sensor protecting the swing side back into the safety circuit and inhibits the door from reopening. That is the specific behavior an A156.10 install needs on the swing side, and it is why the GD11S gets added to doors that already have an overhead unit.
6) Can the GD11S be used as a monitored sensor where the door operator requires self-monitoring?
No. The GD11S is not monitoring capable. If your operator or your spec calls for a monitored sensor that reports its own failure back to the control, this is the wrong device and you need a monitored presence sensor instead. For non-monitored obstruction detection and beam-break signaling, the GD11S does the job.
7) What is the time delay adjustment on the GD11S for, and what is the range?
The built-in delay is adjustable from 0.5 to 15 seconds and it sets how long the relay holds after the beam clears. Short settings suit a pedestrian swing door where you want the door back in its normal cycle quickly; longer settings suit a vehicle gate or an industrial door where a forklift or truck needs to finish crossing before the gate starts closing again.
8) Do I need to buy mounting brackets separately for the GD11S?
No, GDB mounting brackets are included with the GD11S. They are the quick brackets for putting the emitter and receiver on guide rails, industrial door jambs, and gate posts, so the set arrives ready to mount without sourcing hardware separately.
9) Will the GD11S work with my existing door or gate operator?
It signals through a dry relay output, not a proprietary bus, so it connects to any door or gate control that accepts a relay input to open, stop, or reverse. Beam interruption switches the relay and the control reacts according to how you land it. There is no brand-specific handshake to worry about; what you need on the operator side is an available safety or reverse input.
10) Is a through-beam like the GD11S the right choice, or should I use an overhead presence sensor?
They solve different problems. A through-beam set like the GD11S detects anything crossing a line between two points up to 40 ft apart, which is what you want on a gate or an industrial door where the opening is wide and there is nothing overhead to mount to. An overhead presence sensor watches an area at the door, which is what pedestrian swing doors use for approach and threshold coverage. On swing doors the two work together rather than compete: the GD11S covers the swing side when the overhead is locked out during closing.
11) Is the MS Sedco GD11S a commercial-duty sensor or a residential gate accessory?
Commercial. The GD11S is a commercial-grade active infrared beam intended for professional installation, and its typical homes are warehouse and distribution door systems, healthcare and school automatic entrances, retail entryways, and commercial gate access control. It is a powered electronic device, so plan for a low-voltage supply and control wiring at both the emitter and receiver positions.
