WARNING
One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside
and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the
bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than six inches (152
mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or
more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring
arranged so that the communication between the sensor and
the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission
of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A
wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended
end-use conditions.
