EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in
combination with each other to provide external entrapment protection.
Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when
a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and one or more non-
contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction
exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so
that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subjected to mechanical damage.
A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be
located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded
by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction.
DURING INSTALLATION
• DISCONNECT POWER at the control panel before making any electric
service power connection.
• Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
• Know how to operate the manual release.
• Adjust the unit to use the minimum force required to operate the gate
smoothly even during mid-travel reversing.
• Place controls a minimum of 8 feet away from the gate so that the user
can see the gate and operate controls but cannot touch the gate or gate
operator while operating the controls.
• Warning signs must be placed on each side of the gate or in high-visibility
areas to alert of automatic gate operations.
Moving Gate can cause
Serious Injury or Death.
Persons are to keep clear! The gate is able to be moved without prior warning.
Do not allow children to operate gate or play in gate area.
This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

20.1 - MONITORED SAFETY DEVICE TYPES
BlueBus photo-eyes:
The EPMOB photocell is a thru-beam device - consisting of a transmitter
(TX) and a receiver (RX) that connects via two (2) wires. Polarity of the wiring
is not important. EPMOBs may be wired in parallel to one another or directly
to the board - it is not necessary to make a “home run” to the board with
each EPMOB. Multiple sets of EPMOBs may be used, however each PAIR
must be set to an exclusive address by setting the jumpers in the units.
What this means, is that each pair of eyes must have their jumpers set to
match each other - but every pair must be set differently from the other
pairs. The address jumpers also determine the functionality of each set of
eyes:Open direction or close direction, etc. (see Table 1)

NOT USED
1 . Mount the transmitter and receiver appropriately to a rigid mounting
surface. Eyes should be placed appropriately to protect areas of
entrapment according to UL325 guidelines.
2 . Set the jumpers in each pair of eyes to match each other. Ensure that
each pair of eyes are set differently. Use the table below to find the
setting of the jumpers that corresponds to the functionality desired from
each pair of eyes.
3 . Connect the EPMOBs to the Bluebus connector of the circuit board.
Polarity of the wiring is not important. Eyes may be connected in
parallel to one another - or directly to the board.
4. LEARN the Bluebus port.
On a 1050 board - Press Functions (1. Learn) - Press “OK” (Learn
Bluebus) - Press “OK”. Allow the board to scan the Bluebus Port.
When complete - test the functionality of each set of eyes.
5. Fine tune the alignment of each pair of eyes. The more slowly the lights
flash on the units - the better they are aligned.
Close Direction A/B:
Resets timer to close in open position, reverses
gate if closing, no effect if gate is closed or during opening cycling. Typically
used when the photo eyes are on the outside of the property (gates opening
inward.
Close Direction 2 A/B:
Resets timer to close in open position,
reverses gate if closing AFTER obstruction is cleared, pauses the gate on
opening cycle - opening resumes after obstruction clears. Typically used
when the photo eyes are on the inside of the property (gates opening
inward).
Open Direction A/B:
Delays gate opening from closed position.
Stops and reverses gate back closed on open cycle. Typically used to
protect an entrapment point when the gates are opening.
