Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do King Gates VIKY30 photocells improve my gate automation system safety?
The King Gates VIKY30 photo safety sensor creates an invisible infrared beam across your gate opening. If a child, car, or obstruction crosses this beam while the gate is closing, the sensor immediately signals the control panel to stop and reverse the gate movement, preventing injury or property damage.
Can the King Gates VIKY30 gate sensor be used outdoors in Australian weather?
Yes, the King Gates VIKY30 is specifically built as an outdoor photoelectric gate safety sensor. It features a sealed enclosure rated against UV degradation, dust, and rain, making it ideal for Australian weather conditions.
What is the maximum range of the VIKY30 safety beam?
The VIKY30 infrared photocell pair reliably covers distances up to 30 metres, making it suitable for standard residential gateways, wide rural entryways, and commercial access points.
Are VIKY30 photocells compatible with other brands of gate openers?
While specifically engineered for the King Gates Gate Automation System, the VIKY30 utilises standard 12/24V AC/DC power and common NO/NC relay outputs, making it compatible with most automatic sliding and swing gate control panels on the market.
