4. Operation
When connected to a SMART gate operator, the Photon
SMART PE beams aid in preventing personal injury, and/
or property damage due to crushing, when used in a
closing beam conguration.
When used in an opening beam conguration, the Photon
SMART PE beams dramatically reduce the hazardous
actions associated with a gate that is opening, such as
dragging or shearing.
The operation of the Photon SMART PE beams relies
upon the infrared beam being interrupted by a person
or object, and notifying a device it is connected to via a
wireless link, of the interruption.
This icon denotes variations and other aspects
that should be considered during installation.
This icon indicates warning, caution or
attention! Please take special note of
critical aspects that MUST be adhered to in
order to prevent injury.
In addition, Photon SMART
infrared PE beams
are
compatible with the unique Ambush Alarm functionality
found in some of our gate operators.
These operators allow the Photon SMART PE beams
to act as sophisticated perimeter security devices by
activating an alarm on the operator’s controller, or a
third-party alarm system, whenever the PE beams remain
obstructed for a predened period of time
