Product Overview

The FT43 is a pair of external safety photocells designed for gate automation systems, ideal for installations on small or narrow pillars where alignment can be difficult. The standout feature of the FT43 is its 180° adjustable capability, allowing the photocells to be angled for easier positioning and more reliable alignment on awkward gate entrances.

With a new logic circuit for improved performance, the FT43 includes an intelligent snow function that activates an adaptively temporised mode when frequent dimming or darkening is detected, helping to reduce false obstacle detection caused by environmental conditions.

Is this the right photocell set for you?

The FT43 is ideal if you:

  • Need external photocells for a gate system
  • Are installing on small pillars where alignment is tricky
  • Want adjustable photocells (180°) for awkward entrances
  • Need improved reliability in changing weather conditions
  • Want programmable ranges to suit different site layouts

You may want an alternative if you:

  • Need very long-range photocells for wide commercial entrances
  • Require BUS-based devices specifically
  • Have plenty of space and don’t need adjustable alignment

ACS Team Insight

The FT43 is a great option when installers want a neat photocell on a small post but still need alignment flexibility. The 180° adjustment is genuinely useful on older entrances, offset pillars, or where you can’t mount the photocells perfectly square.

Pair that with the snow function and you get fewer nuisance triggers and a more dependable day-to-day system — especially in exposed residential installs.
