IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY SENSORS
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle
in the path of its electronic beam. If an obstruction breaks the light beam
while the gate is CLOSING, the gate will stop and reverse to full open
position. If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the gate is
OPENING, the gate will stop.
The sensors must be installed so that the sending and receiving eyes
face each other across the gate, no more than 24" (61 cm) above the
ground. The sensors can be installed on the left or right of the gate as
long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The safety sensors must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as
metal or a treated wood post (not provided). The light beam path must
be unobstructed during normal operation of the gate.
ADVERTENCIA
NOTE: Due to the variety of gates and mounting applications, PVC
conduit, wire, and posts are not provided. Refer to your local hardware
store for additional hardware.
