Liftmaster S506AL Small Profile Edge 6 Aluminum Channel

Product Description

The LIFTMASTER S506AL is a small profile safety edge designed for gate controller applications. It consists of an aluminum channel construction intended to provide a compact, low-profile sensing edge that signals a gate operator to stop or reverse upon contact with an obstruction. This type of safety edge is a critical component in automated gate systems, helping to protect people, vehicles, and equipment from injury or damage. Installation is typically performed by gate automation technicians or licensed contractors working on commercial or residential access control systems.

The S506AL is suited for use with automated gate operator systems where a small profile edge is required due to space constraints or aesthetic requirements. The aluminum channel design provides a rigid mounting structure for the sensing element. It is sold as a single unit and is categorized under gate controller accessories. Specific compatible gate operator models are not listed in the available product data.

Key Features

• Small profile design for installations with limited clearance or tight mounting tolerances
• Aluminum channel construction provides a durable, rigid housing for the sensing edge
• Designed for use in automated gate safety edge applications
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style safety edge component for automated gate controller systems where a small profile aluminum channel edge is specified.

Installation Notes

Safety edges of this type are installed by gate automation technicians or qualified contractors familiar with automated access control systems. Disconnect and lock out power to the gate operator before beginning installation. Follow the gate operator manufacturer's wiring and mounting instructions, and ensure the safety edge circuit is tested for proper stop and reverse function before returning the system to service. Local codes and UL 325 requirements for automated gate operators should be observed.
