Connection of photocells and safety devices
Before connecting the photocells (or other devices) we advise
you to select the type of operation according to the movement
area they have to protect (see fig.3):
"Edge" safety devices
Opening safety devices:
they operate only during the gate
opening movement and, therefore, they are suitable for
protecting the area between the opening leaf and
fixed obstacles (walls, etc) against the risk of impact and
crushing.
Closing safety devices:
they operate only during the gate
closing movement and, therefore, they are suitable for
protecting the closing area against the risk of impact.
Opening/closing safety devices:
they operate during the gate
opening and closing movements and, therefore, they
are suitable for protecting the opening and closing
areas against the risk of impact.
"Edge" safety devices:
they operate during the gate opening
and closing movements and, therefore, they are suitable
for protecting the areas between the moving leaf and
fixed obstacles (pillars, walls, etc) against the risk of
shearing and dragging.
Encoder (optional):
operates during the gate opening and
closing movements and, therefore, it is suitable for
protecting the opening and closing area against the risk
of impact, crushing, shearing and dragging.
N.B. If two or more safety devices have the same function
(opening, closing, opening and closing, edge), the contacts
must be connected to each other in series (fig. 4).
N.C. contacts must be used.
The most common photocell and safety device lay-outs are
shown below (from fig. 6 to fig. 13).

(e.g. Photocells, Stop, Edge, etc.)
N.B: If safety devices are not used, jumper connect the terminals
as shown in fig. 5.
