SAFETY SECTION
Remedies for Safety Concerns
Zone 1 Safety edges and photo electric eyes are the most common types of protection
available.
Zone 2 A safety edge may also be utilized here, but the best remedy is to eliminate pinch
points when designing the hinges. Most injuries at this point result from negligence,
such as reaching through the hinge area or the gate to activate a button, key switch,
etc.
NOTE: All control stations should be located at least 6 feet from any moving part of the gate
or operator.
Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to reach through
the gate or fence to activate a gate.
