The Genie OPAKPEN4GX is a NEMA 4X rated commercial through-beam photoeye safety sensor featuring a resilient, impact-absorbing mounting system designed to reduce damage from incidental contact in high-traffic door environments. Both the sender and receiver units include 50-foot factory-attached wire leads, providing installation flexibility in wide or deep bay configurations without field splicing. The unit meets UL 325 2010 requirements for monitored entrapment protection and is approved for momentary-close operation on Genie commercial operators. The NEMA 4X rating ensures resistance to water ingress, dust, and corrosion, making it suitable for wash-down and outdoor-exposed applications. This model represents an upgrade over earlier sheet-metal-protected photoeye designs in the Genie OPAKPE.S family.
