This means greater safety for the user and greater ease of installation and maintenance for the installer.
What precautions should I take if I have children in the house?
CAME products are subject to stringent safety tests before being marketed.

Gate Automation
Does CAME also sell gates and doors, or just the operators?
CAME manufactures and sells the world's widest range of automation systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications, including operators for swing or sliding gates, but do not sell gates or doors.
Which safety devices do I need to install?
CAME products with EN Tested technology perfectly comply with the minimum requirements for impact force detection, however every installation will have different safety requirements. CAME offer a wide range of safety products such as the photocells, sensitive edges and signal lights.
We always recommend the installation of photocells, preferably on the side of the road if next to a public highway. If the operator is designed for intensive use, you can also install sensitive edges that reverse the direction of travel when in contact with any obstacle. Finally, we recommend a flashing light to signal the operator's motion status.
