WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons.

Photo Beam (non-contact sensor) Installation

Secondary Entrapment Protection

Photo beams or like must be installed to reduce the risk of entrapment.

Use only Omron E3K-R10K4 photoelectric eye to comply with UL325

Make the electrical connections of the photoelectric sensor as described here in this page.

Care shall 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 entrapmentor

obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

NOTE - 

This type of installation 

DOES NOT

reverse the gate all the way back to its limits when the photo-beam

is obstructed. This installation is only to protect against entrapment and to comply with UL325.

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.

Consult the installation manual for the UL325 device (photo
beam or like) for detail information about the usage,
installation and maintenance
