An adjustable infrared beam Located inside the photocells, an infrared beam is capable of detecting the slightest obstacle within the range of the device. How it works ? Between the transmitting cell and the receiving cell, there is an infrared beam which is always received. As soon as it is no longer there, this means that an obstacle stands in front of your engine. At this time, the CARDIN VEDO180 photocells are forced to influence your engine to avoid a shock. If it is a classic operation, the infrared beam incorporated in the CARDIN VEDO180 photocells is different from the others. For example, it is possible to adjust it by more than 180° in the horizontal direction. This is so as to be able to position this set of photocells in places that do not allow the operation of ordinary photocells.
