External Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators
Any external entrapment protection sensor may be monitored by HySecurity gate operators, provided the
following requirements are met:
•
Sensor is marked as certified to UL 325 Standard of Safety by a Nationally Recognized Test laboratory,
such as UL or ETL.
• If the sensor only has a normally open (NO) output with a 8.2K
Ω
or 10K
Ω
resistor, such as an edge
sensor, then a conversion device must be used to convert the NO resistor output to an NC output.
Example of two different installation methods:
• Method A - Wired
Connect the edge sensor to a NC conversion module (GEM-104 or GEM-204) and connect the
module to the operator controls according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Method B - Wireless
Connect the edge sensor to a UL 325 certified wireless edge transmitter and connect a matching
receiver to the operator controls according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A resource list is available from the drop down
on the
. The HySecurity
recommended list shows examples of external entrapment protection sensors available for NC monitoring of
automatic gate operators. All HySecurity gate operators manufactured after January 1, 2016 using software
versions h4.50 or h5.50 (or later) comply with UL 325 Standard of Safety for monitoring entrapment protection
sensors using normally closed contacts.
The site designer or installer must determine which external entrapment protection sensors will be installed
with the gate operator to create a UL 325 compliant automatic gate operator site.
The UL 325 Standard of Safety and ASTM F2200 define the MINIMUM gate site requirements. Gate site,
gate hardware, gate usage and other conditions may dictate the use of additional entrapment protection
sensors. It is up to the gate system designer and installer to assess appropriate gate safety design and install
the components required to protect all potential entrapment zones. Always check your local area codes and
comply with all standards and regulations.
CAUTION
Temperatures and environmental conditions affect proper operation of external entrapment protection sensors.
Always check the manufacturer's specifications shipped with the sensors. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions
for correct wiring connections, hardware installation and proper operation.
