FlexIR
BEA’s Microcell
Beam Break Away
Solution!
The FlexIR is a flexible mounting
bracket that prevents BEA’s Microcell
infrared beam system from damage
when installed away from the
door jamb surface!
Perfect for industrial door and
residential garage door applications!
Quality, Intelligence, Precision
The FlexIR is BEA’s flexible mounting bracket that prevents BEA's
Microcell beam system from damage when installed in industrial or residential
garage door applications. The FlexIR is highly resistant to damage caused by a
vehicle or a heavy object.
UV-resistant, flexible material prevents damage to the Microcell beam heads,
thus optimizing the safety and reliability of the application.
If hit, the FlexIR will bend and flex back then resetting the Microcell heads
to their original position, thus preventing unnecessary service calls.
The bracket can be installed parallel or perpendicular to the mounting surface
thus allowing optimal flexibility for different types of applications.
The FlexIR is only compatible with BEA's Microcell system.
NEMA 4 accessory available for environments exposed to wet conditions.
