What level of safety does my Automatic Electric gate require?
All Automatic Electric gates will require there own individual levels of safety depending on Location & Site specifics. Generally for a standard domestic installation you would be looking at starting with a basic level of safety, which provides you with a set of safety beams sending an infrared beam from onside of the driveway to the other, as demonstrated in the image below.
Set of Infrared Safety beams preventing the Gate from closing on a vehicle or obstruction.
However if your Electric Automatic gate installation is in a commercial or industrial location, where larger vehicles are in operation and OHS requirements must be met, then implementing additional safety measures including infrared beams should be carried out such as in ground safety Loops, see image below.
The Safety loop is an additional safety measure which allows metal objects to be detected when they are positioned over the top of the loop. Sending a signal to the control board telling the motor not operate until all is clear.
What level of security do i need or want added to my Automatic Electric Gate?
