GOST 33 ft Cable Photoelectric Infrared Beam Sensor

The GOST infrared beam sensor watches a specific path across a doorway, cabin access point, or other area you want to secure. Unlike a motion detector that monitors a wider field, it responds when its photoelectric beam is interrupted. This focused approach can help avoid the false alarms that changing sunlight and shadows may cause with other infrared sensors. A 33-foot cable is included for the connection to the alarm equipment.

Positioning is important with a beam sensor because the monitored path must pass through the area you want to protect. A cabin entrance, for example, may be better suited to this arrangement than an open space where people move in several directions. The cable lets you place the sensor away from the connection point without relocating the main alarm equipment. Follow the GOST mounting instructions when aligning the sensor and routing the lead.

This sensor is a component of a security installation, not a complete alarm system on its own. Make sure the receiving equipment supports this sensor before adding it to an existing setup. A beam detector is useful when you want to watch a defined entry path rather than an entire cabin. See more onboard security and boat accessories in General Boat Outfitting.

• Photoelectric beam monitors a defined entry path
• Beam detection differs from wide-area PIR motion sensing
• Supplied cable allows remote positioning near an entry point
