Electric gates queries

    New to gates, wiring for a friend

    There's a pair of photocells to stop the gate closing on a person/car

    I presume these are "closing safety devices"

    There's a few different wiring configurations, opening/closing/edge

    Also the transmitting photocell can be hard-wired or battery powered(CR2-3V). Is it worth bothering with battery or just hard wire it

    Thanks

    The battery holders will eventfully rot.

    You might have no choice to use batteries if you are installing edge protection.
