IRIS 860 sensor

Safety first, every day.

The state of the art IRIS 860 sensor uses an infrared laser to detect retro-reflective tape on high-visibility workwear (PPE). The sensor gives a loud audible alert when a person or marked object gets too close to your forklifts or other mobile machinery.

Key Benefits

Precisely targeted to avoid false alarms

Over-detection undermines the effectiveness of any proximity alert system. SEEN’s precisely shaped, customisable detection zone gives the operator meaningful assistance without causing irrelevant alerts. The detection zone settings can easily be changed to suit the specific working environment using SEEN’s free app.

Easy installation and set up

The installation process is similar to installing a blue light. The IRIS 860 sensor simply requires power from the machine and a connection to the reverse signal. An auto-electrician can install sensors in about an hour, following SEEN’s installation guide. The sensors can even be moved from machine to machine when needed. The sensor settings can be easily adjusted using SEEN’s free Sensor Setup App for android or iOS.

High detection reliability

In critical risk zones, detection reliability is paramount. SEEN sensors provide highly reliable detection even in challenging conditions. From complete darkness, bright sun, rain, condensation, RF interference, dust, dirt, shock and vibration, IRIS 860 sensors continue to function long after other systems fail.

To enable SEEN Insight, you need to add an IRIS-i camera to the IRIS 860 sensor.
