Options

Overview

Features

  • Wash down grade photo eyes for use in the wash bay or outdoors
  • Alignment sensor build into the receiver eye to assist with alignment and adjustment of the photo eyes
  • Fully enclosed housing to protect the eye from debris collecting on the eye surface
  • Heating element maintains the area around the eye between 55 F and 65 F to prevent condensation and ice building on the eye surface. (SS-1307 Only)

Overview

The WashTools Self Contained Photo Sensing System are a set of photoeyes with housings that have self contained amplifiers and do not require a separate amplifier box inside the equipment room to operate.  Each housing contains a frame with mounting pads, cover and a photo eye with 30' attached lead wires.  The SS-1307 unit also includes a heating element to eliminate condensation and ice buildup on the eye surfaces in heavy misting and/or cold wash environments.  The sensor set operates on a through beam principal where an output signal is activated if the sensor beam is broken when a vehicle passes between the two sensors.  Alignment signals are built into the eye to assist with the alignment process.
