Installing Gate Edge Sensors
A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operation of the gate edge sensors (and other
monitored sensors) prior to gate activation. The monitored connection prevents gate operation if a sensor is
missing or any fault is present.
Sensors, such as gate edges and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These
external entrapment protection sensors are required for the gate installation to be in compliance with the
2018, UL 325 Standard of Safety (7th Edition).
NOTICE: UL 325 Standard of Safety provides the MINIMUM safety standards. Site, gate hardware usage,
and other conditions may dictate the use of additional safety designs/components. It is up to the gate system
designer and installer to assess appropriate safety design and components above and beyond minimum UL 325
and ASTM F2200 Standard of Safety. Always check your local area codes and comply with all regulations.

Assess your gate site for the most appropriate placement of edge sensors. Plan to integrate contact (gate
edge) and non-contact (photo eyes) sensors in your site plan. Sensors are wired to the Controller and require
low voltage conduit to the operator and power supply. For a list of tested and approved external entrapment
protection sensors available for use with HySecurity gate operators, see the HySecurity website.
To enable fully automatic operation, this gate operator requires a MINIMUM of one external entrapment
protection sensor to monitor potential entrapment zones in either the open or close direction of travel. Visit
Gate Safety on the HySecurity website for more information on UL 325 standards and gate safety.
