Safety Photo Beams For Gate Openers
- The Mighty Mule photo eyes are a valuable safety feature that will keep the gate from closing when any obstruction is in the path of the photoelectric beam.
- The photo eyes use Dual Beam and Through Beam technology, which are more reliable than reflective beams because they do not allow sunlight to create a false reading
-
The photo eyes need to be direct wired into the gate opener's circuit board with low voltage wire. We recommend using 16 gauge, multi-stranded, dual conductor, low voltage wire for all gate opener installations.
The GTO / PRO Photoelectric Dual Beam Detector uses dual beam and through beam technology to reduce false detections when detecting obstructions. When the beams detect the presence of a moving object, the detection will cause the gate(s) to stop and reverse to the fully open position. As long as the beam is obstructed the gate(s) will remain open. Not compatible with solar powered gate operators.
