ISG-A103

The ISG-A103 is a high-sensitivity one-channel automatic amplifier intended for gate systems equipped with a rubber safety edge. It provides especially short turn-on time and relay connections arranged to replace older Pantron amplifiers without rewiring.

Up to 50 m rangeAutomatic gainRelay outputLight switching modeIP40 housingMultiple voltages

Key Features

  • Very high sensitivity for gate-system applications.
  • Especially short turn-on time.
  • Automatic transmit-power adjustment.
  • Relay output, normally open.
  • DIN-plug connection with retrofit-friendly relay wiring.
  • Compatible with multiple AC and DC supply options.

Best Fit Applications

  • Gate systems using rubber safety edges.
  • Retrofit replacement of older Pantron light barrier amplifiers.
