Common Gate Operator Devices & Their Functions


Gate Rollers

Gate rollers, such as cantilever rollers, allow your slide gate to open and close effortlessly. Cantilever rollers guide the gate track, so it opens smoothly and stays in line. The less fr ction in your roller, the smoother the operation.

Exit Wands

Exit Wands sense when a vehicle drives over them, creating a hands-free way to open your gate or garage door. Exit Wands monitor gate operation as cars, vehicles, or automobiles exit. The sensor in the exit wand wi l activate when a car or other vehicle drives over it. We offer Self-Contained Free Exit Systems that connect directly to any gate operator without an external output board and work with solar-powered gates. Our Self-Contained Free Exit stems are the best automatic gate openers on the market, featuring improved heat resistance and lightning protection, a single-model design for simplified installation, and a new, proven digital circuit. This reliable free exit system should be buried along the driveway. At the same time, the GateMate stays hidden and vandal-proof, and efficiently detects moving steel to avoid false openings from animals or objects.

Photo Eyes

Photo beams, photocells, and photo eyes send a signal to stop and reverse gates after the projected beam is broken. These photoelectric eyes use infrared modulators, reflective edges, and motion sensors to monitor the motion, position, and distance of objects that may obstruct your gate's operation, then communicate with a security camera to trigger a programmed response.

Vehicle Detectors

Vehicle detectors are a vital part of a gate or door system. They detect a vehicle in their field and send a signal to a control unit. Our highest-rated vehicle detector, t e BEA Falcon Industrial Microwave Motion Detector, uses microwave technology operating at 24.125 GHz (K-band frequency), allowing it to differentiate between vehicular traffic and pedestrians. The sensor is housed in a NEMA-4-rated plastic casing and features a crimp-style connector to prevent water intrusion through the feed cable. Even after installation, it remains fully adjustable by remote control and uses unidirectional sensing to detect approaching or departing traffic.


Features:

  • Mounting height: 11.5' to 23'
  • Microwave and Microprocessor
  • Tilt angle: 0° to 180° In Elevation
  • Can Differentiate Between Vehicular Traffic & Pedestrians
  • Minimum Detection Speed: 2.2"/S (Measured In Sensor Axis)

Safety Edges

Gate edges, when touched lightly, activate pressure-sensitive nodes and send an electrical signal to your controls to stop and/or reverse the operations of your gate or garage door. GateOpenerSafety.com stocks and ships a wide variety of Safety Edges, including edges only, edges with a channel, and DIY Edge Kits. With two installation options, we carry direct-mount and slide-in safety edges, plus round, square, and fit-any-shape edges. Most are ideal for sectional or rolling garage doors, adding safety while reducing wear and tear.
