Miller Edge IG2-EXT-MNT Wall Mount Extension Brackets for Invisi-Guard
The Miller Edge IG2-EXT-MNT bracket set is used when an Invisi-Guard-2 photo eye needs to stand off from a wall or flat mounting surface. On real installations, a photo eye sometimes needs extra clearance to see past trim, vertical guides, gate posts, or cabinet edges. This bracket helps place the IG2 emitter and receiver where the infrared beam can align properly.
This is a mounting accessory only. It does not change the electrical rating, monitored/non-monitored setting, beam range, or safety function of the IG2 photo eye. The installer still needs to verify sensor model, mounting direction, conduit, alignment, and operator input requirements.

Technician Note
Use this bracket to solve a physical alignment problem, not an electrical problem. If the receiver LEDs show misalignment or obstruction, check the beam path, bracket rigidity, and mounting angle before replacing the photo eyes.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the photo eye body is Miller Edge IG2 / Invisi-Guard-2.
- Check how far the eye must be offset from the wall or post.
- Make sure both the emitter and receiver can be mounted squarely and aligned.
- Verify the bracket will not place the beam where vehicles or gate hardware will break it.
- Confirm all low-voltage wiring and conduit can be routed without stressing the sensor housing.
Professional Advisory
Photo eyes are part of the entrapment protection system. Do not bypass or defeat photo-eye inputs to make an operator run. If the gate or door will not close after service, have the alignment, wiring, monitored/non-monitored setting, and operator safety inputs checked by a qualified technician.
Product Questions and Answers
What is the IG2-EXT-MNT used for?
IG2-EXT-MNT is used to offset a Miller Edge IG2 photo eye from a wall or mounting surface so the emitter and receiver can align across the opening.
Does this bracket change the photo eye range?
No. The bracket only changes the physical mounting position. The range and electrical behavior are determined by the IG2 photo eye model being used.
Is IG2-EXT-MNT a complete photo eye kit?
No. It is a mounting accessory. The IG2 emitter, receiver, and required wiring or batteries are separate unless a specific listing says otherwise.
Can these brackets be used on gate operators?
They may be used on automated gate installations that use Miller Edge IG2 photo eyes, as long as the physical mounting and safety-device layout are correct for the gate opening.
Should I replace the bracket or the photo eye if the gate will not close?
Check alignment, wiring, power, batteries, and obstruction issues first. A bracket should only be replaced if it is bent, loose, missing, or unable to hold the eye in alignment.
