Wiring Photo Eye to control board
(Control Board part #500021)
Photo eyes are recommended for all systems. This provides
protection against the gate closing on objects that may be
in the gate path. Typically a swing gate needs two sets of
photo eyes for the best area protection (see figure).
One set of photo eyes pointing across the drive on the
outside of the hinge post (A). The second set mounted
across the drive at the point where the gate is fully opened
(B). The photo eye must be installed where the gate does
not break the beam.

The primary unit (Receiver) should be
installed close to the control box.
It requires 4 wires to be installed from
the unit to the control box.
The second unit (Transmitter) can be
hard wired or battery powered, if using
part # 550011 and should be installed on
the opposite side of the drive.
Hard wired Photo Eye (550011 or
550014) requires 2 wires to be installed
from the unit to the control box.
The two units must face each other to
establish the beam (maximum distance
40 feet).
When utilizing the PEPM software the photo eye will only be powered up when the gate is operating.
