A failed safety device
Contamination, alignment, cabling and power all need to be checked before a device is bypassed or replaced
Gate safety systems
Gate safety sensors and photocells installed properly
Diagnosis, replacement and installation of gate photocells, safety beams, loops and safety devices across Sydney
Technical assessment
The system is assessed as a whole
Photocells are not nuisance accessories. They are part of the system that helps prevent a moving gate from closing into a vehicle or person
Repeatedly bypassing a safety input can hide the real fault and leave an entrance operating without the protection its controller expects
