Connection diagrams for 2-wire photocell: Swing gate operators

To ensure correct function, photocells and safety devices must be correctly mounted, aligned and connected before initial operation. A 2-wire photocell is contained in the scope of delivery of the gate operator.

Additional photocells can be purchased. The control unit has 2 connections for photocells with 2- or 4-wire technology. Combinations are possible. We recommend installing the photocell at a height of up to 300 mm. To protect property, it may be necessary to install an additional photocell, for example at a height of approx. 600 mm on the inside and outside. Only photocells with 4-wire technology can be connected in series. For positions of the photocells on the gate system, see the application example in Chapter 3.1 “The operator and its mode of operation” of the installation and operating instructions.
