Photo Eyes for Gate Openers
Using an infrared beam of light, photo eyes prevents your gate opener from closing your gate on a person, vehicle, or animal. How this works is two photo-eyes are pointed at each other with one of them emitting an infrared beam, and once that beam is broken by something being in the way, it sends a signal to your gate opener to not close as there is an obstruction. For UL325 safety compliance as well as general safety requirements, photo eyes are required pieces of equipment to ensure that guests are kept safe on your property.

Power & Solar Accessories
Unlike other USAutomatic accessories, Solar Panel accessories are a little unique in that they fundamentally change how your gate opener is setup and operates. Choosing between an AC or a Solar Powered gate opener isn't the same as distributing codes for keypads or transmitters, rather powering your gate is reliant on how much sunlight your panel can get, access to grid power, and various other factors.
Luckily all USAutomatic gate openers already come in a solar powered variant, however if you want to change to a solar powered option down the road or need to replace a damaged solar panel, those are available and easily installed!
