ACCESSORY COMPONENTS
If 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.
Component or System Comments
Note : Certain components should be considered mandatory on all systems. These are noted below and
should be procured, installed, and tested before the system is commissioned and used by the owner.
Vehicle Loops & Loop Detectors
These are required to restrict or limit gate operation under
certain vehicle detection or in conjunction with access control
station vehicle presence detection. A socket 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 control module (detector), complete
the hookup, and programs/adjust detector sensitivity for good
interaction of the loops and the gate system.
Infrared Photo Electric Sensors
Used to stop and reverse the Gate Panel/Drop Arm when
closing. If an object passes through or blocks the beam, the
Drop Arm will remain open while the beam is blocked.
Gate Edge Sensors
Edges are to cover the entire bottom edge of the gate and are
used to stop and reverse the Gate Panel in the intended
direction of travel.
Traffic Signal Lights—1 lens, 2 lens, or 3
lens (Ex:
Red , Yellow , Green )
Used to warn of the barrier systems presence and operation.
AutoGate recommends an
Red LED lens at all times, except
when the Gate Panel/Drop Arm is in its fully open position, in
which case we recommend a
Yellow (amber) flashing lens.
Warning Signs, Reflective Tape, Warning
Lights
Drivers should be alerted to the presence of a high-stopping
power barrier system, and that striking the barrier will cause
injury or death. Speed limits should also be posted. Contact
AutoGate for specific Warning Signs, Reflective Tape, and
Warning Lights that can be affixed to the Drop Arm.
