4.1.11.1. Closing Safety 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 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.
4.1.11.2. Opening Safety Beams
These beams prevent your gate from
opening if an object or person is in
the way.
If the beams are broken while the
gate is closed, the gate will not
open. If the gate is opening, it will
stop then close. If the gate is
closing, it will continue to close.
Please contact Centurion Systems
(Pty) Ltd for more information on
suitable protection devices.
