Automatic Gate Safety Devices in New Jersey

How Photo Eyes Keep Your Property Safe

While your automated gate system helps you keep your New Jersey property safe and secure, photo eyes can help you make sure that your gate is as safe as possible. Photo eyes are used to detect anything that may be in the path of your gate when it's closing, whether it's a vehicle or a pedestrian, so that it can stop its motion and not harm any people or property.

Photo eyes are available in two styles:

• Through-beam photo eyes are a two-piece unit. They are comprised of a transmitter and receiver.
• Retro-reflective photo eyes have both the transmitter and the receiver in the same unit. A reflector bounces the beam back to the unit from the transmitter to the receiver.

Each of these types of photo eyes has its own pros and cons, and our professionals can help you decide which type would be best for your New Jersey property's particular gate. We can handle the installation of the photo eyes, and we'll make sure that they're fully functional.

Safety Edges and Sensors

A safety edge is a touch-sensitive switch that sends a signal to your automated gate to start, stop, or reverse the motor, or even to ring a bell. They usually don't require more than 24 volts of electricity to function, so their applications are nearly endless.

Safety edges and sensors can be used in any place where you'd like a simple touch to send a signal to your New Jersey property's gate. Applied at the edge of your gate, they'll be able to send a signal to stop the gate from closing when anything is still in its path. Our professionals can help you decide if safety edges would be beneficial to you.
