The Memco elite Model 616 is an infrared, light-curtain system for lift safety and convenience. The dense 74-beam pattern will detect even small objects between the doors and provide a signal to re-open the lift doors. It can be used on both new and existing installations.

The detectors can often be wired directly to the lift controller or door operator. The system consists of one transmitter detector (TX) and one receiver detector (RX). The detectors can be mounted in a dynamic position (on the car doors) or in a static position (on the car itself). No setting up is required.

The detectors will automaically adjust to optimise detection performance. When the doors are open a 74-beam pattern is in operation. As the doors close, and the separation becomes less than approximately 600mm, the pattern changes to 46 beams. When separation is less than approximately 300mm the pattern changes to 16 beams.
