FT33 Safety Photocell Pair (TX/RX) for Automatic Gates and Doors in Egypt
FT33 is an infrared safety beam, also searched as photocell, photo eye, and photoelectric sensor.
It detects obstacles between TX and RX and sends a safety signal to the control board safety input.
Available at Abu Seif Steel Egypt in Egypt.
Fast delivery within hours in Cairo and Giza.
Delivery to all Egypt governorates in 3 to 5 days.
25 m or 8 m range
12-30 Vac or 12-40 Vdc supply
NC or NO output
You connect FT33 to the control board photocell terminals.
Check your board voltage output and safety input type before you buy.
What FT33 does for you
FT33 creates a safety beam line between the transmitter and receiver.
When something blocks the beam, the control board stops or reverses the gate or door movement.
- Protects people, cars, and forklifts from closing impact.
- Reduces motor strain and avoids broken racks, rollers, and hinges.
- Helps commissioning and handover tests on sites.
Typical applications in Egypt
- Sliding gate motors and swing gate motors.
- Roller shutters, side motor, central motor, and tubular motor shutters.
- Industrial doors and warehouse entrances.
- Barrier gates and access control lanes.

Installation notes that prevent common problems
- Mount on solid posts to avoid vibration.
- Align TX and RX until the receiver indicator stays stable.
- Use low range when photocells are close and interference appears.
- Use synchronization when you install 2 pairs on the same opening.

Questions customers ask before buying FT33
Will FT33 work with 24V, 220V, and 3-phase gate motors?
FT33 connects to the control board safety input, not directly to the motor.
Your control board must provide 12-30 Vac or 12-40 Vdc for the photocell and must have photocell safety terminals.
What is the working distance?
FT33 supports 25 m in full power mode.
Use low range 8 m when devices are close to reduce interference.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation on gate pillars?
Yes. IP54 protection fits typical outdoor gate installations in Egypt.
Use solid mounting and correct alignment.
Does it help in heavy rain?
FT33 includes a Snow function.
It adapts response time when false darkening happens due to weather.
Can I install two pairs on the same gate without interference?
Yes. Synchronization helps two pairs work without reciprocal interference.
Share your board voltage so we confirm the right setup.
NC or NO output, which one should I use?
FT33 ships with NC output by default.
Many boards prefer NC for fail safe behavior if a wire breaks.
Switch to NO only when your board requires it.
What comes in the box?
One transmitter and one receiver for one safety beam line.
Mount it on posts or install it in prepared housings.
How do I confirm alignment during installation?
Align TX and RX until the receiver indicator stays stable.
Bad alignment causes false stops and missed obstacles.
Is it available in Egypt and how fast is delivery?
