IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY SENSORS
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle
in the path of its electronic beam.
The sensors must be installed so that the sending and receiving eyes
face each other across the gate, no more than 24" (61 cm) above the
ground. The sensors can be installed on the left or right of the gate as
long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The safety sensors must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as
metal or a treated wood post (not provided). The light beam path must
be unobstructed during normal operation of the gate.
NOTE: Due to the variety of gates and mounting applications, PVC
conduit, wire, mounting hardware and posts are not provided. Refer to
your local hardware store for additional hardware.

APPLICATIONS
ENTRAPMENT SAFETY SENSORS
This will pause an opening gate until the obstruction has been
removed. Upon removing the obstruction, the gate will continue to
open. This will have no effect on the gate closing.
OPEN (PHOTO EYE/IR) SAFETY SENSORS
• GA400D/GA420D - This will pause an opening gate until the
obstruction has been removed. Upon removing the obstruction, the
gate will continue to open. This will have no effect on the gate closing.
• GA200D - This will stop a closing or opening gate, once the
obstruction is removed the gate will continue to operate normally
upon the next command given.
CLOSE (PHOTO EYE/IR) SAFETY SENSORS
• GA400D/GA420D - This will reverse a closing gate to the full open
position (open limit). This will have no effect on a gate opening.
• GA200D - This will stop a closing or opening gate, once the
obstruction is removed the gate will continue to operate normally
upon the next command given.

POWER
Disconnect power and batteries to the operator.
SAFETY SENSOR POSTS
Use a metal or treated wood post (not provided) to elevate the sensors.
Safety sensors must be installed no higher than 24" (61 cm) above the
ground.
To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines,
contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.
NOTE: For ideal protection the safety sensors should be installed as close
to one another as possible with the maximum distance up to 30' (9.1 m).
TRENCH FOR WIRING
Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies.
Dig a narrow trench 6" (15 cm) deep from control box to safety sensor
posts. Be careful not to damage any buried wire. Run conduit from
control box to safety sensor posts and run low voltage wire* (not
provided) through conduit.
