Miller Edge IG2-P1 Pair of Pedestal Mounts for Invi-Guard Photo Eye
The Miller Edge IG2-P1 pedestal mount set is used to position Miller Edge Invisi-Guard-2 photo optic sensors where a wall, post, or direct bracket location is not the best choice. On many gate openings, the eye needs to sit at a stable height with a clear beam path across the travel area, and a pedestal mount gives the installer a cleaner way to place the emitter and receiver.
This part is best treated as an IG2 mounting accessory, not a complete photo eye kit. The photo eye emitter, receiver, wiring, conduit, and operator safety input configuration must be verified separately. Correct placement matters because a misaligned or poorly protected sensor can cause nuisance reversals, no-close conditions, or an unsafe installation.

Technician Note
Use pedestal mounts only when the mounting surface is rigid enough to hold alignment. On gate sites, a flexible or uneven pad can let the beam drift out of alignment and create intermittent close or reverse complaints.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the sensors are Miller Edge IG2 / Invisi-Guard-2 style photo eyes.
- Confirm whether the job needs a pair of pedestal mounts or only one side.
- Check that the pedestal height and beam location meet the operator and site safety requirements.
- Plan conduit and low-voltage routing before mounting the eyes.
- Verify that vehicles, gate hardware, plants, and curb stops will not interrupt the beam.
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
Does the IG2-P1 include the photo eyes?
No. IG2-P1 is a mounting accessory for select Miller Edge IG2 photo eye installations. The emitter and receiver must be ordered or supplied separately unless the listing specifically states they are included.
What photo eye series is IG2-P1 used with?
IG2-P1 is used with Miller Edge Invisi-Guard-2 / IG2 photo optic sensors. Verify the sensor body and mounting style before ordering.
Can this pedestal mount be used outdoors?
It may be used in outdoor IG2 installations when the mounting surface, conduit routing, and eye placement are suitable. The photo eye alignment and weather exposure still need to be checked during installation.
Will IG2-P1 fit older PHT Invisi-Guard photo eyes?
Do not assume it will fit older PHT-style Invisi-Guard photo eyes. Miller Edge notes that PHT models were replaced by IG2, so older installations should be verified by the sensor body and mounting hardware.
Why would I use a pedestal instead of the standard bracket?
A pedestal is useful when a wall or post location is not available, when the beam needs to be raised from the floor or pad, or when the installer needs a cleaner alignment path across a gate or door opening.
