NOTE: To use monitored entrapment protection sensors for all four areas called out in this site scenario, The Solution multi-
input device would be required. Refer to page 6. Note that every site is different. All potential entrapment zones should be
protected with contact or non-contact sensors.
Left Hand Gate

ENTRAPMENT
6 ft (1.8 m) minimum
ZONE
Public Side
Secure Side
Gap between vertical bars
must be less than 2¼” (57 mm)
If gap is larger, a screened wire
mesh must extend to top of gate
or, to a minimum height
of 6 ft (1.8 m).
Photo eye (Emitter or Reector in the Open direction)
Physical stop - at both ends of gate rail.
Photo eye (Receiver)

Interior posts,
Non-pinch
rollers (2x)
WARNING
Be sure to place the
WARNING signs on both
sides of the gate in clear view.
For your records, take a photograph of
the completed installation site.
Mount access control
devices at least 6 ft
(1.8 m) beyond the gate.
Pedestrian gate located
near the slide gate.
Make sure a separate walk-
through entrance is available
and its pedestrian path is
clearly designated.

Edge sensors (Public and Secure sides)
(Draw-in zone)
NOTE: Any gap larger than 2¼” (57 mm)
between gate and xed objects must be
protected. Install wrap around edge sensors
where gap between post and gate creates a
draw-in zone.
After wiring your external entrapment protection sensors to the Controller’s sensor inputs, access the Installer Menu. Set
sensors S1, S2, and S3 for this example of a site scenario, as follows:

**Since in the site scenario there are two monitored photo eye sensors protecting open and close
directions of travel and only one input remaining, you could use a Multi-input device (The Solution).
Connect sensors to two separate inputs on The Solution, set to NC contact (not Pulse) and wire The
Solution output to SENSOR 3 on the Controller. In the Installer Menu, set SENSOR #3 TYPE to EYE
BOTH. Another option? Use a long range photo eye and wire as a singular SENSOR input 1.
