Column for EPL and EPM series photocells, NICE PPH2 (MPN 16576)

The NICE PPH2 column is an accessory specifically designed to mount EPL and EPM series photocells on gates, barriers or vertical posts. It provides a rigid and weather-resistant support that ensures correct alignment and protection of the photoelectric sensor, helping maintain reliable presence detection and safety interlocks in access control and automation installations.

Advantages

The column offers a stable and durable mounting solution that simplifies installation and adjustment of photocells. Its construction minimizes sensor movement and exposure to accidental impacts, while allowing precise alignment for optimal beam positioning. Compatibility with EPL and EPM series photocells enables straightforward replacement or retrofit without modifying existing sensors or wiring.

Suitable for

• Mounting EPL and EPM series photocells on pedestrian or vehicle gates
• Installing photocells on barrier arms and parking control systems
• Retrofit projects where existing sensors require a stable column attachment
• Applications requiring precise alignment and protection of photoelectric sensors

Key specifications

• Accessory type: mounting column for photoelectric sensors
• Intended sensor family: EPL and EPM series photocells
• Mounting: vertical attachment to gate posts or standalone posts
• Durability: designed for outdoor use with protection against minor impacts and environmental exposure
• Alignment: supports adjustable positioning for accurate beam alignment

How to use

Attach the NICE PPH2 column to a suitable vertical surface or post using appropriate fasteners for the mounting substrate. Secure the photocell to the column according to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions, check beam alignment and adjust the column-mounted bracket until the transmitter and receiver are correctly aligned. Complete cable routing and connections following the photocell wiring guidelines, and verify system operation through functional tests of presence detection and safety interlock features.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-resistant fasteners and ensure the mounting surface is stable and square to the moving gate or barrier. Periodically inspect the column and mounts for signs of looseness or damage and re-align the photocell if performance degrades due to impact or settling.
