in both the open and close direction and reverses on contact with an obstruction. This IES system serves as one of the
means of entrapment protection.
External sensors must be used to protect against entrapment at each location where an entrapment zone exists. The minimum
number of external sensors required to enable automatic operation of the swing gate is one sensor in the close direction
(provided the gate in the open direction presents no risk of entrapment.)
The gate operator tests for the presence of at least one functioning sensor, and if not found, the operator will only run using
continuous pressure on an Open/Close button, either on the controller, or an external device.
SENSORS AND ACCESSORIES
Instructions are provided in this manual for installation of the photo eye transmitter/receiver pair per UL325 requirements, and
separate instructions are included if other sensor types are included in the kit. If other sensors are used to avoid entrapment
scenarios, ensure the following:
• Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to provide external
entrapment protection.
• Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate
is still moving, and one or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists,
such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
• A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and
the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
• A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction.
COMPATIBLE EXTERNAL SENSORS
Only the following external sensors have been evaluated and tested with Nice 1050 control boards and are approved to be
used for protection against entrapment:
• Nice BlueBUS Through-Beam Photo Eye
• ASO Sentir Series Contact Edge
• Miller Edge GEM-103 Edge Sensor Converter
• EMX IRB-RET Retro-Reective Photo Eye
• EMX NIR-50-325 Retro-Reective Photo Eye
• EMX WEL-200 Wireless Edge Transmitter/Receiver
The 1050 control board operates ONLY on DC power from the battery or from the Main DC Power input.
Follow all safety warnings if installing AC power for conversion to DC for charging purposes or for powering
the board. Nice offers optional charging solutions.
