HySecurity MX000999, PHOTO EYE & REFLECT 40', 24 V
The HySecurity MX000999 photo eye kit is a retro-reflective style non-contact sensor kit. Unlike a through-beam pair, a reflective photo eye sends a beam to a reflector and reads the reflected signal back at the same sensor head. HySecurity references list the kit as a 40 ft reflective photo eye for AC or 24VDC applications and note that it includes the reflector, mounting bracket, and hardware. Photo eyes are part of the gate's entrapment protection system, so the correct monitored/unmonitored configuration, input type, voltage, and placement must match the operator and current safety requirements. A dirty lens, damaged reflector, poor alignment, or wrong sensor type can cause nuisance reversals or prevent the gate from closing.
Compatible With
This compatibility section is written cautiously because HySecurity parts can vary by operator generation, voltage, controller, installed options, and parts diagram revision.
- Select HySecurity SlideSmart HD accessory applications where MX000999 is listed
- HySecurity gate operator safety inputs that support the MX000999 reflective photo eye kit
- Applications requiring a 40 ft reflective photo eye with compatible voltage and mounting layout
- Compatible gate safety layouts using a reflector and sensor on opposite sides of the protected opening
- Not a direct substitute for MX4404-01 monitored SAM photo eye kit unless the documentation confirms compatibility

Technician Note
Before replacing MX000999, compare the installed part, operator model, voltage or control type, and HySecurity parts diagram. Similar HySecurity accessories can look close in photos but serve different operator families or voltage configurations.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the HySecurity part number on the existing part or current parts diagram.
- Verify the operator model, generation, controller type, and installed options.
- Check voltage, wiring terminals, enclosure rating, and mounting location when applicable.
- Confirm whether the job requires a complete kit, a subcomponent, or a different voltage/model version.
- For safety devices, confirm the required monitored input type and do not bypass entrapment protection.
Professional Advisory
Electrical wiring, heater kits, and monitored entrapment devices should be installed by a qualified gate technician. Do not bypass required safety devices or substitute parts by appearance alone.
Important Ordering Warnings
- HySecurity part numbers with similar names are not always interchangeable.
- Voltage-specific heater kits and control accessories must match the operator data plate and wiring diagram.
- StrongArm, SlideDriver, SlideDriver II, SlideSmart HD, and Smart Touch/Smart DC accessories should be kept separate unless HySecurity documentation confirms fitment.
- For older operators, verify whether the installed system has been upgraded or retrofitted before ordering.
