What safety features are included in the kits?

Every GateMotors automation kit comes with a set of safety photocells as standard.This consists of a transmitter and a receiver. Photocells are designed to improve the safety of your gates, an infra red beam is transmitted between them and if this beam is broken the gates will not operate in case they come into contact with whatever has broken the beam.You may require a second set if you have large gates or a short drive for additional safety measures. Examples of additional safety features are blinker lights and anti-crush edging. The Blinker lights can be used to show others when the gates are in use and the anti-crush safety edgings work with our control panel to stop the gates if they hit an obstruction.
