6. Warning - Safety Photocells. An infra-beam which spans the aperture of the gate opening. If an object
breaks this beam, the gates will stop & reverse. Usually two pairs of photocells are fitted at 500 & 700mm.

7. Warning - Leading edge of gateleaf. Safety Edges should be fitted to leading edge of the gate. Safety edges prevent the gate closing on a person or vehicle in the event it is activated. Safety edges are flexible strips which are fixed to the edge of a gate where there is a risk of a crushing or shearing hazard. If the safety edge is depressed a signal is sent to the power source to stop. Additional safety edges mounted to the internal & external motor posts.
