Gates
There are generally two types of gates used with fences, sliding gates and swinging gates. Sliding
gates must be bypassed, and should be protected by another type of sensor (e.g., a wireless gate
sensor, a microwave sensor, an IR beam). Swinging gates can be protected by the FP400 sensor.
Protected gates should consist of fence fabric attached to a rigid frame that includes horizontal
and vertical bracing. There are a number of factors that must be considered when planning for
gates, including whether it’s a single panel or double panel gate and the type of ground beneath
the gate (for cable bypass). Other gate requirements and concerns include:
•
firmly attach all gate hardware accessories (minimum free-play)
•
make sure that double gates have travel stops (rigid anchors)
•
prevent locking hardware from moving in the wind
•
prevent sliding gate track hardware, supports, guides, etc., from rattling in the wind
•
the direction that the protected gate opens (to the inside, to the outside, or both directions)
•
the frequency of gate use
•
authorized gate use when the sensor is active

protected gates.
