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

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.
