Overview
What it is
This is the Nice EPMB, a pair of medium surface-mounted photocells with Nice BlueBUS technology from the Era Photocell M range. It has a transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX), and Nice classes it as a type D presence detector to EN 12453.
What it is used for
Photocells stop or reverse a gate, garage door or barrier when the beam is interrupted. The BlueBUS version is chosen when the control unit supports BlueBUS, because all safety devices connect in parallel on just two wires.
Key features
- Useful range 15 m, maximum 30 m; range can fall by half in fog, rain or dust.
- Detects opaque objects larger than 50 mm moving at up to 1.6 m/s.
- Up to 7 pairs for safety and 2 pairs for the open command on one bus.
- Powered from the BlueBUS line, which also carries the output signals.
- Addressing by jumpers; the control unit acquires the devices automatically.
- Automatic synchronisation between pairs.
- IP44, -20 to +55 °C, 50 x 29 x 80 mm, 140 g.
Buying considerations
BlueBUS photocells connect only to BlueBUS networks. For a control unit without BlueBUS, either choose the relay version EPM or add Nice’s IB interface. The EPMOB version adjusts through 30° when posts are misaligned.
Compatibility and What You Need
A Nice control unit with BlueBUS, such as the MC824H supplied in Nice’s 24 V kits, or an IB interface. Mount on solid, parallel surfaces facing each other.
