How to Choose the Right Accessory

When browsing access automation accessories for your project or site, consider the following:

• Brand and Model: Match accessories (remotes, beams, spares) with your gate or door make and controller.
• Frequency and Coding: Confirm RF remotes/receivers are compatible (e.g., 433 MHz common in SA, rolling vs. fixed code).
• Environment: Outdoor vs. indoor, ensure weather-resistant features if exposed to rain/sun.
• Voltage: Safety beams and loops come in various operating voltages (12V, 24V etc.). Check your control unit or request advice.

Not sure which accessory fits? Communica's technical team can help you identify compatible options, including wiring diagrams and installation notes for typical South African installations.

Common Wiring & Installation Considerations

Most accessories wire into the automation controller's terminal block. For example, IR safety beams typically use simple 2- or 4-wire runs, while loop detectors require a closed circuit from the control panel through the under-road cable. Always check the wiring diagram in your automation system manual, or view common diagrams available from Communica's support knowledge base.

Example ASCII wiring: 
 (GND)-----(Relay/Beam TX)----[BEAM RX]-----(COM/NC/NO to Controller)
