Here are two configur-
ations for using two sets
of photo- eyes as "auto-
reversing" controls. 3' to 4'
landscaping timbers make
good mounting posts. Set
the photo-eyes about 16"
above grade. To test,
disconnect wires 3 & 5 in
RECEIVER unit, make sure
units are powered and aligned
then break the beam. You
should hear a small click in
the RECEIVER module.
After re-connecting 3 & 5
to gate operator, test again.
