BFT COMPACTA A20-180 20M Adjustable Gate Safety Photocells
The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 Photocell Sensors are original BFT infrared safety photocells designed for automatic gates, parking barriers and compatible automation systems. Supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair, the photocells create an infrared safety beam to detect obstacles across the gate or barrier opening.
The BFT COMPACTA A20-180, product code P111782, provides a nominal detection range of up to 20 metres and features adjustable optics that can rotate 90° to the left and 90° to the right, providing a total horizontal adjustment of 180°.
This adjustable design makes installation easier where opposite mounting surfaces are not perfectly aligned. The photocells support a wide power supply range of 12–33 VAC or 15–35 VDC and feature an IP44 protection rating.

20 Metre Gate Safety Photocells
The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 provides a nominal infrared detection range of up to 20 metres. This makes the photocell suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial automatic gate installations.
The effective detection range may be reduced by environmental conditions such as heavy rain or fog.
180° Adjustable Photocell Sensors
One of the main advantages of the COMPACTA A20-180 is its adjustable optical head. The photocell can be adjusted approximately 90° to the left and 90° to the right, providing a total horizontal adjustment range of 180°.
This flexibility helps installers correctly align the transmitter and receiver when mounting positions, walls or gate pillars are not perfectly opposite each other.
Automatic Gate Obstacle Detection
The transmitter and receiver create an infrared beam across the gate or barrier opening. When a vehicle, person or other obstacle interrupts the beam, the photocell sends the corresponding safety signal to the connected automation control board.
The exact response of the gate or barrier depends on the safety configuration and programming of the control board.
Wide Voltage Compatibility
The BFT COMPACTA A20-180 supports a wide input power supply range of 12–33 VAC and 15–35 VDC, making it suitable for integration with many compatible BFT automation control systems.
IP44 Protection
The photocells have an IP44 protection rating and are designed for external automatic gate applications when correctly installed according to BFT installation requirements.
Suitable Applications
- Automatic sliding gates
- Automatic swing gates
- Parking gate barriers
- Garage door automation
- Residential gate automation
- Commercial vehicle entrances
- Warehouse gates
- Industrial access systems
- Compatible BFT automation systems
BFT COMPACTA A20-180 Installation
The photocell set consists of a transmitter and receiver installed on opposite sides of the protected opening. Correct positioning and alignment of the infrared beam are important for reliable obstacle detection.
The adjustable 180° horizontal optics make alignment easier, particularly when the mounting surfaces are not perfectly parallel.
