Durable 18mm photoelectric sensor for Inclinator elevators, replacing #27304348. Detects up to 15 ft using retroreflective infrared technology. Requires integration into existing wiring.
This photo eye replaces legacy two-wire sensors commonly found in older systems. It features a modern four-wire configuration, and the included wiring diagram (shown in product images) provides clear guidance for adapting it to existing setups.
This replacement photo eye serves as a non-polarized, retroreflective infrared sensor designed to replace HIH Photo Leveling Eyes commonly found in Inclinator elevator systems. Often referred to as a photoelectric sensor, optical switch, or I/R detector, it uses forward-viewing infrared to detect reflective surfaces up to 15 feet away. Its solid-state relay output provides fast 3 ms response time, ideal for precise leveling applications. The robust housing includes an LED indicator and is rated for wet or dusty environments. This sensor is supplied with a pre-attached cable and must be wired into the elevator's existing electrical harness by a qualified technician.
