Beams
Closing Safety Beams
provide additional protection
against your gate closing on
people, pets or vehicles
If the closing beam is
broken while the gate is
opening, it will continue to
open. If the gate is open,
the gate cannot be closed
and if the gate is closing, it
will stop and reopen
If you select the Autoclose
(page 11) feature, the gate
will remain open if the beam
is broken and only close
after the set Autoclose time
has expired when the beam
has cleared
You can use other protection devices like an inductive ground loop
instead of an infrared beam, but loops are only sensitive to the
presence of a vehicle (large metal objects) and provide no
protection to people or other objects in the path of the gate.
Please contact Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd for more information on
suitable protection devices
