accordance with section 31.1.1 of the UL325 standard:
a) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of
application (refer to page 6),
b) 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
c) 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 (refer to page 6).
