Genie GE-113468.0001.S Omron Retro-Reflective Photo Eye
The Genie GE-113468.0001.S is the Genie-listed part number for the Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 retro-reflective monitored photo eye. It is used with select Genie gate operators where the operator manual or approved accessory table lists Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 / 113468.0001.S as a supported external entrapment-protection device.
A retro-reflective photo eye uses a powered sensor on one side of the gate opening and a reflector on the opposite side. The beam is sent to the reflector and returned to the sensor. Proper sensor mounting, reflector placement, wiring method, monitored input selection, and alignment are all important for reliable gate operation.

- Used where Genie documentation lists Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 with Genie part number 113468.0001.S
- External entrapment-protection photo eye for compatible automatic gate installations
- Retro-reflective layout using one powered sensor and one reflector
- Used in applications requiring 10K 4-wire monitored photo eye wiring where supported by the operator
Compatible With

Important Comparison With Similar Photo Eye Parts
Genie gate operator manuals may list several approved monitored photo eye options. Similar safety-device names do not mean the parts are interchangeable. Match the exact part number, wiring method, monitoring type, photo eye style, and operator manual before ordering.
- GE-113468.0001.S / 113468.0001.S: Genie-listed part number for Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 retro-reflective monitored photo eye with 10K 4-wire monitoring.
- Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1: Manufacturer model associated with this Genie part number.
- GE-113390.0001.S / IRB-RET2: Related EMX retro-reflective monitored photo eye. Similar application category, but not the same part number or wiring option.
- GE-GAKRRPE.S / GAKRRPE.S: Genie retro-reflective photo eye kit with 2-wire pulsed monitoring. Related safety-device category, but not the same as the Omron 10K 4-wire photo eye.
- GE-113392.0001.S / IRB-MON2: Related EMX thru-beam monitored photo eye kit. This uses a transmitter and receiver, not a reflector.
- GE-GAKTBPE.S / GAKTBPE.S: Genie thru-beam photo eye kit. Not the same as a retro-reflective sensor and reflector setup.
- Reflector-only parts: A replacement reflector is not the same as a complete monitored photo eye sensor.
- Vehicle loops and exit probes: Not the same part. Loops and probes detect vehicles, while this photo eye is used for beam-based obstruction detection.

Technician Notes
- Confirm the operator manual lists 113468.0001.S or Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 as an approved monitored photo eye before ordering.
- Do not assume this sensor is interchangeable with 2-wire pulsed photo eyes. Genie documentation identifies this Omron option with 10K 4-wire monitoring.
- Retro-reflective photo eyes are sensitive to alignment. A shifted reflector, loose bracket, dirty lens, cracked reflector, sun glare, water intrusion, or gate vibration can cause nuisance safety faults.
- Check wiring before replacing the sensor. Corroded splices, water-filled conduit, pinched conductors, loose terminals, wrong voltage, and incorrect input assignment are common field problems.
- Confirm the reflector is clean, secure, and the correct size for the sensor. A damaged or undersized reflector can make a good sensor appear defective.
- Do not confuse this part with a thru-beam photo eye. Thru-beam sensors require a separate transmitter and receiver across the opening.
- Do not replace a monitored photo eye with a non-monitored generic sensor unless the operator manual specifically allows that device and wiring method.
- Do not bypass photo eyes, monitored safety edges, inherent entrapment protection, or gate operator safety inputs to force the gate to close.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the exact part number is GE-113468.0001.S or 113468.0001.S.
- Confirm the manufacturer model needed is Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1.
- Confirm the installed Genie operator lists Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 / 113468.0001.S as an approved monitored photo eye.
- Confirm the operator input requires 10K 4-wire monitored photo eye wiring.
- Confirm the opening is within the listed 40 ft range and that the sensor and reflector can be mounted securely.
- Confirm whether you need the complete photo eye sensor, reflector, hood, mounting brackets, or only a replacement component.
- Inspect the existing sensor, reflector, brackets, wiring, conduit, splices, and operator safety input before ordering.
- Confirm the issue is not caused by alignment, dirt, moisture, sun glare, damaged cable, loose terminals, incorrect voltage, or incorrect operator programming.
Professional Advisory
Photo eyes are part of the gate operator safety system and should not be bypassed, jumped out, or treated as optional. Incorrect installation can create unsafe gate movement or prevent the operator from meeting monitored entrapment-protection requirements. If the installation involves monitored safety inputs, multiple entrapment zones, relay wiring, high-voltage power, unknown prior modifications, fire access equipment, or a gate that will not close because of a safety fault, use a qualified gate operator technician.
Product Q&A
What is Genie GE-113468.0001.S used for?
Genie GE-113468.0001.S is the Genie-listed part number for the Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 retro-reflective monitored photo eye used with select Genie gate operators where the manual confirms this device.
Is GE-113468.0001.S the same as Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1?
Yes. GE-113468.0001.S is commonly used as the Genie part number for the Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 retro-reflective photo eye. Always confirm the installed operator manual and safety input requirements before ordering.
What range does the Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 photo eye provide?
Genie documentation lists this Omron retro-reflective photo eye with a 40 ft maximum range. Actual performance depends on alignment, reflector condition, sensor mounting, wiring condition, sunlight exposure, and site conditions.
Is this photo eye 2-wire pulsed or 10K 4-wire?
Genie documentation lists Omron E3K-R10K4-NR-1 / 113468.0001.S with 10K 4-wire monitoring. Do not substitute it for a 2-wire pulsed photo eye unless the operator manual confirms compatibility.
Is this photo eye retro-reflective or thru-beam?
This is a retro-reflective photo eye. It uses one powered sensor aimed at a reflector, unlike a thru-beam system that uses a separate transmitter and receiver across the opening.
Can I bypass this photo eye if the gate will not close?
No. Do not bypass monitored photo eyes or other gate safety devices. If the gate will not close, check alignment, reflector condition, wiring, water intrusion, input configuration, and safety fault status or call a qualified technician.
What should I check before replacing the Omron photo eye?
Check the part number, 10K 4-wire monitored input, reflector alignment, sensor lens, brackets, wiring, conduit, moisture, sun glare, voltage, operator input setting, and safety fault codes before replacing the photo eye.
