Every installer knows the feeling: you roll up to a job, crack open the truck, and realize the one part you need is the one part you don’t have. The right truck stock is the difference between wrapping a call in an hour and burning half a day chasing components.
At EMX Industries, we design our photoeyes, vehicle detectors, and access control sensors to be flexible, simple, and adaptable — so a single SKU can cover scenarios that used to demand three. Below are four updated solutions worth keeping on your service truck to make every install faster, cleaner, and more reliable for the customer.
Best for: entrapment protection on gates, doors, and barriers.
The newly upgraded IRB-RET2 retroreflective photoeye and IRB-MON2 thru-beam photoeye handle a wide range of UL 325 entrapment-protection applications. Carry both, and you’re ready for tight retrofit jobs and long-throw installs alike.

Best for: safety-edge installs where running wire is a headache.
Safety edges are essential — but wiring them adds time, cost, and a long-term maintenance tail. The WEL-200 Wireless Edge Link kit eliminates the wiring between safety edges and the operator while keeping you UL 325-2018 compliant. One receiver pairs with up to four transmitters, so a single kit can cover multiple edges without extra runs.
What’s new: the latest revision adds a radio signal quality display — a one-digit readout (0–9) on the receiver that tells you connection strength on the spot. No more guessing during alignment.

Best for: any service call where you don’t know the operator’s voltage in advance.
You’ve been there: you show up, the loop’s ready, but your detector doesn’t match the available power supply. The MVP D-TEK multi-voltage loop detector ends that problem. Stock one detector instead of three — it works on virtually any supply you’ll encounter in the field.

Best for: free-exit applications — especially solar-powered installs.
Free-exit jobs usually mean cutting a fresh loop or, worse, digging up an old one to retune the probe. The VMD202 Vehicle Motion Detector skips all of that. Pair it with the optional VMD202-R sensitivity remote and you can adjust settings while the probe stays buried — settings are saved in non-volatile memory, so once it’s dialed in, the remote can move on to the next job.

EMX has been designing access control, safety, and vehicle detection solutions for decades — and every product on this list is built around the same idea: fewer trips back to the shop, fewer callbacks, fewer compatibility surprises in the field.
