ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
Edge sensors may be used with an edge transmier and a receiver in order to transmit to the gate operator.
The use of retractable cord reels or curl cords is not recommended because of durability problems with
these devices in outdoor environments.
• Mount gate edge sensors to the leading edge and boom edge of the gate so that entrapment
protecon is provided in both direcons of travel.
• Mount one or two edge transmiers onto the gate panel near the upper corner of the leading edge
of the gate. All edge sensors will funcon correctly if only one transmier is used, but wiring mulple
edges to a single transmier may be impraccal or displeasing visually.
• Connect the edges to the terminals in the edge transmier and set the “dip” switches of the transmier
to match the seng in the receiver to be used. Refer to “Figure 45. EMX-IRB-MON Photo Eye Wiring”
on page 150.
• Mount a gate edge receiver (external antenna type) in the channel of the chassis on either side of the
operator.
• Mount an external antenna onto the top of a xed post of the fence near the operator.
• Connect the antenna into the socket on the radio receiver.
• Set the “DIP” switches in the receiver to match the same code used in the transmier.
Test the operaon of the reversing edge to make sure that it funcons correctly. Advise the gate user
that they must retest this vital funcon weekly. If there is also to be a radio receiver for a hand-held
transmier to operate the gate, be certain to use a two-channel commercial receiver. The edge and hand-
held transmiers must have their codes set to match the receiver or they will not funcon.
Accessory Connecons
Aer programming the sensor inputs in the installer menu or during inial startup, the appropriate type
and number of sensors will need to be connected. Figure 45 shows the wiring and dip switch sengs of an
EMX-IRB-MON photo eye (typical thru-beam wiring). A retroreecve photo eye will be similar and only
have wiring similar to the receiver of the thru-beam photo eye.
For UL 325 compliance, all external
entrapment protection sensors must
have N.C. sensor outputs for
monitoring and powering purposes.
