Simple Install Infrared Sensor for Door Automation and Security Systems

The JUTAI IR-20 Infrared Sensor (also called Photocell, Through-Beam Sensor, or IR Beam Detector) is a user-friendly, industrial-grade detection solution designed for hassle-free installation in door automation and security systems. With a straightforward setup process, 20-meter stable detection range, and versatile 12-24V AC/DC power compatibility, it creates an invisible protective beam to prevent door entrapment, detect intrusions, and enhance access control--ideal for residential garage doors, commercial sliding doors, office entrances, and perimeter security worldwide.

As a paired transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) through-beam sensor, the IR-20 operates on a simple yet reliable principle: the TX emits a focused infrared beam that aligns with the RX. When the beam is interrupted by people, vehicles, or obstacles, the RX's internal relay triggers instantly--sending a signal to stop a closing door, activate an alarm, or block unauthorized access.

Built for practicality and durability, the sensor features a compact, UV-resistant engineering plastic housing with an IP55 protection rating. It's designed to withstand indoor/outdoor conditions (dust, rain, temperature swings) while keeping installation steps minimal--no specialized technical skills or complex tools required.

• Tool-Minimal Mounting: Supports wall mounting (3x 5mm drill holes with screw anchors) and metal surface mounting (3x 3mm self-tapping screws)--fits most door frames, security fences, and building exteriors without custom modifications.
• Clear Wiring & Labeling: Terminals are prominently marked (TX: 1-2 for power; RX: 1-3 for power, 4=COM, 5=NC, 6=NO) to eliminate confusion. No complex wiring diagrams are needed--even first-time installers can complete connections in minutes.
• Intuitive Alignment: The RX's bright red LED indicator (off when beam is aligned, on when interrupted) provides real-time feedback. Simply adjust the TX/RX positions until the LED turns off--no calibration tools or technical expertise required.
• Snap-On Front Panel: The front panel lifts easily for wiring access and closes securely with provided screws, streamlining the final setup step and protecting internal components from dust.

• IP55 Ingress Protection: Resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for direct outdoor installation (e.g., garage door exteriors, commercial entryways) without additional enclosures.
• Wide Temperature Adaptation: Operates stably from -10°C to +60°C, adapting to diverse climates--from cold winters to hot summer environments--without performance degradation.
• Anti-Interference Design: Optimized optical filtering minimizes false triggers from ambient light (sunlight, fluorescent fixtures) and environmental debris, ensuring consistent performance in busy door automation scenarios.

• Flexible Power Input: Works with 12-24V AC/DC (non-polarized) power supplies, seamlessly integrating with standard door controllers, security alarm panels, and access control systems--no specialized power adapters needed.
• Versatile Relay Output: Equipped with Common (COM, terminal 4), Normally Closed (NC, terminal 5), and Normally Open (NO, terminal 6) terminals, ensuring compatibility with all major door automation and security hardware.
• Low Power Consumption: TX max operating current ≤25mA and RX max operating current ≤35mA, supporting energy-efficient 24/7 operation without excessive power usage.

• Residential Garage Doors: Prevents entrapment of people, pets, or objects during closure, enhancing home safety.
• Commercial Sliding Doors: Ensures safe operation in malls, retail stores, and office buildings--stopping doors from closing on pedestrians.
• Industrial Gate Automation: Detects vehicles or obstacles in the path of industrial sliding gates or parking barriers.
• Perimeter Security: Creates invisible beam barriers for backyard fences, office perimeters, or restricted access zones--triggering alarms for unauthorized entry.
• Public Facility Entrances: Enhances safety for automatic doors in hospitals, schools, and train stations, where ease of installation and reliability are critical.

• No Expertise Needed: Straightforward mounting, wiring, and alignment make installation accessible to DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike.
• Durable & Versatile: IP55 weatherproofing and wide temperature range ensure performance in indoor/outdoor door automation scenarios.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with all major door controllers and security systems, reducing integration complexity.
• Cost-Effective Safety: Industrial-grade quality at a competitive price, lowering overall system costs for homes and businesses.
• Trusted Brand Assurance: Developed by Shenzhen JUTAI Comm Co., Ltd., a professional provider of automation and security components with global technical support.
