Sensitivity is the primary safety control designed into the conrtol board.  The adjustment dials control the amount of pressure the gate can apply to an object, before the gate will stop and reverse direction.  If the gate senses an obstruction it will reverse direction.  If it senses a second obstruction before reaching the fully open or closed position the gate will shut down.  The entrapment alarm which is preinstalled in the control box will sound.  The entrapment alarm will sound for 5 minutes then shut off, the entrapment alarm can be reset by pressing the "reset" button on the control board.
