Safety Devices can prevent TRAGEDIES

Motorized gates require special safety precautions. ANSI/UL325 is the accepted standard for gate safety and includes specifications for designing safe gate systems that protect against entrapment and hazardous pinch points. Gate Edge Sensors and photo eyes are key components of a safe gate system.

All Miller Edge Gate Edges and Photo Eye sensors are recognized components of ANSI/UL325 standard for gate safety. For a free easy reference guide to compliance with the ANSI/UL325 gate safety standard

DESCRIPTION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICES:

Safety Loops- is a system typically installed underground creating a magnetic field to detect a vehicle in place, once the safety loops detect the vehicle, the gate automatically reverses to prevent closing on the vehicle.

Safety Photo Eye- is a small device that carries a laser beam  clear across gate opening, if the laser bean is broken by someone walking by, a pet running through, or a vehicle driving through it. The gate will automatically reverse to prevent any accidents. 

Safety Rubber Sensors- this rubber device is typically installed in the front and/or rear of gate.  When minimal pressure is applied, gate will automatically reverse in position.
