Accessory Components
I
f your system came with accessory or optional components that require installation or setup, you must review
this section for Operator Wiring & Testing and instructions provided by the component manufacturer. In
general, those instructions provide guidance needed for installing and using these accessory components.
The following table lists the accessory components that may have been provided with your system.
Accessory (Optional) Components
Component or System Comments
Note: Certain components should be considered mandatory on all active vehicle barrier systems.
These are noted below and should be procured, installed, and tested before the system is com-
missioned and used by the owner.
Vehicle Loops & Loop Detectors
These are required to restrict or limit gate operation un-
der certain vehicle detection or in conjunction with ac-
cess control station vehicle presence detection. A sock-
et for the loop detector electronic control modules are
pre-installed in the electrical enclosure. Installer must
fabricate and install loops in the roadway, install the con-
trol module (detector), complete the hookup, and pro-
gram/adjust detector sensitivity for good interaction of
the loops and the barrier system.
Infrared Photo Electric Sensors
Used to stop and reverse the Drop arm/gate when clos-
ing. If an object passes through or blocks the beam, the
Drop arm/gate will remain open while the beam is
blocked.
Traffic Signal Lights—1 lens, 2 lens, or
3 lens (Ex:
Red , Yellow , Green )
Used to warn of the barrier systems presence and opera-
tion. AutoGate recommends an 8”
Red LED lens at all
times, except when the Drop arm/gate is in its fully open
position, in which case we recommend a
Yellow (amber)
flashing lens.
Warning Signs, Reflective Tape, Warn-
ing Lights
Drivers should be alerted to the presence of a high-
stopping power barrier system, and that striking the barri-
er will cause injury or death. Speed limits should also be
posted. Contact AutoGate for specific Warning Signs,
reflective tape, & Warning Lights that can be affixed to
the Drop arm/gate.
