Installing Gate Edge Sensors
Revision D Reference 6-15
Edge sensors that are not attached to the
moving gate, such as post mounted sensors,
must be wired in parallel and directly
connected to the gate operator:
• If the gate is sliding open to a wall with
less than 16" (41cm) of clearance, mount
an edge sensor to the wall that aligns with
the gate when it is in the open position.
Always route the leads from the edge
sensors to the gate operator so that they
are protected from physical damage.
• The preferred receiver connections are
shown in Figure 6-13. An optional
method is to connect one edge sensor
lead to a COM terminal at the top, left
side of the Smart DC Controller, and the
other lead to the EDGE terminal, at the
bottom, left side of the controller.
Edge sensors may be used with an edge
transmitter and a receiver in order to transmit
to the gate operator. The use of retractable
cord reels or curl cords is not recommended
because of durability problems with these
devices in outdoor environments.
• Mount gate edge sensors to the leading
edge and bottom edge of the gate so that entrapment protection is provided in both directions of travel.
• Mount one or two edge transmitters onto the gate panel near the upper corner of the leading edge of the
gate. All edge sensors will function correctly if only one transmitter is used, but wiring multiple edges to a
single transmitter may be impractical or displeasing visually.
• Connect the edges to the terminals in the edge transmitter and set the “dip” switches of the transmitter to
match the setting in the receiver to be used. Refer to Figure 6-13.
