These external entrapment protection devices are required so the gate installation is in compliance with UL 325 Safety Standards. Figure 60 illustrates how to connect different sensors to the Smart DC Controller.
SMART DC CONTROLLER MANUAL PUSH BUTTON STATION A manual push button station controls the gate operator and opens, stops, and closes the gate. It is most often used by a guard in a 24-hour guard station. An example of the push button station connections on SlideSmart is shown in Figure 61.
