Easy-to-install amplifier Safety

The Optex OS-12C amplifier has screwless wiring
terminals, which speeds installation. Pressing the
“Teach-In” button automatically sets the proper
sensitivity and self-corrects crossed cables. One
amplifier operates one or two pairs of sensor
heads.

Reliable sensor heads

The Optex SH-7MC/SH-10MC sensor heads are
recognized by door professionals worldwide for
their reliability and resistance to sunlight and
other interference. Quick-disconnect plugs make
installation and service fast and easy. Cables are
available in 2 lengths, 7m (23 feet) or 10m (33 feet).

For maximum safety, the amplifier is fail-safe,
which ensures that the doors remain open in case
components are damaged in any way. Two LED
indicators will blink at the initial setup to alert
the installer if the OS-12C is improperly aligned or
if sensitivity is insufficient.

Multifunctional design

The compact design and standard 15mm beam
heads make the OS-12C compatible with any type
of automatic door and easy to service or maintain.
Optional mounting accessories allow surface or
recessed installation. A special edition including a
reflector set is optional available. This safety beam
is optimal for use with any sliding door, including
train doors and automatic gates.
