IR barrier, wirelles JA-180IR

JA‑180IR is a wireless outdoor photoelectric (infrared) barrier designed to detect beam interruptions between a transmitter and receiver. The device is part of the JABLOTRON 100 platform and communicates using the Jablotron radio protocol at 868.1 MHz.

Key technical points: The barrier combines an optical sensor (Optex module) with Jablotron radio modules. Maximum optical beam distance between units is 60 m. Radio communication range is approximately 300 m in open area (line‑of‑sight). Both units can report tamper and status to the control panel.

Power and battery life: Powered by 4 × SAFT LSH20 lithium batteries (3.6 V / 13 Ah). Typical battery life is around 3 years when the power‑saving timer (120 s) is enabled.

Environmental and mechanical: Outdoor‑rated enclosure with IP55 protection. Recommended mounting height 0.7–1.0 m. Operating temperature range approximately −20 °C to +60 °C; environmental class and grading per EN 50131‑1 (level IV).

Installation and compatibility: The unit is enrolled to positions within the JABLOTRON 100 system and should be installed by a certified technician. DIP switches and settings allow adjustment of sensitivity, response time and beam modulation to avoid interference when multiple barriers are used nearby.

Product status: This device is discontinued. For recommended replacements or current alternatives, contact an authorized Jablotron distributor or installer.
