Product Overview

The FT43B is a pair of external battery-powered safety photocells designed for gate automation systems, ideal for installations on small or narrow pillars where running cables is difficult or impractical. Featuring 180° adjustable alignment, the FT43B allows precise positioning even on awkward or offset entrances.

Equipped with a new logic circuit for improved performance, the FT43B includes an intelligent snow function that activates an adaptively temporised mode when frequent dimming or darkening is detected, helping to prevent false obstacle detection caused by environmental conditions.

The battery-powered design makes the FT43B especially well suited to retrofit installations, long driveways, or sites where trenching and wiring are undesirable.

Is this the right photocell set for you?

  • Need external photocells without running cables
  • Are installing on small pillars or awkward entrances
  • Want adjustable photocells for precise alignment
  • Need reliable performance in challenging weather conditions
  • Are retrofitting safety devices to an existing gate system

You may want an alternative if you:

  • Prefer hard-wired photocells
  • Need long-range detection for wide commercial entrances
  • Require BUS-based safety devices

ACS Team Insight

The FT43B is a favourite for retrofit and long-driveway installs where cable routes would otherwise mean extra groundwork. The battery-powered design, combined with 180° adjustment, makes it one of the most installer-friendly photocells in the range.

As with all battery devices, we recommend checking battery condition during routine maintenance visits to ensure consistent performance.
