Both primary and secondary entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open and close directions of gate travel. For Example: For a gate system that is installed on a single-family residence (UL325 Class I) you must provide the following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you must provide

• Type A - Inherent (built into the operator) entrapment sensing and at

least one of the following as your secondary entrapment protection:

• Type B1 - Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric sensors,

• Type B2 - Contact sensors such as gate edges

NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems.

SAFETY

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.

2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards.

3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:

• Gate Edges • Guards for Exposed Rollers

• Photoelectric Sensors • Screen Mesh

• Vertical Posts • Instructional and Precautionary Signage

4. Install the gate operator only when:

a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate. b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4

inches (6 cm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

5. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.

8. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over,

under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

9. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.

11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:

a. Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application. b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving. c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:

a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside

and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. b. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. c. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical

damage.

d. A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the

transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function

under the intended end-use conditions. e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6

inches (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge. f. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

SAFETY

REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.

An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. All gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone. This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system (the primary entrapment protection system) and REQUIRES the addition of an external entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact safety edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone.

Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly.

CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS)

If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. Use model G65MGO20, G65MGR20 or G65MGS20.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• Pinch points must be guarded at all times. Install enclosed-style gate tracks and roller guards.

• Place screen mesh 4 feet (1.2 m) high on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel.

• Mount controls at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving part of the gate.

• Install Warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW. Permanently secure each Warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes.

• This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at any point during full movement of the gate.

• Contact sensors MUST be located at the leading and trailing edges, and post mounted both inside and outside a horizontal slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes MUST be mounted across the gate opening and operate during BOTH the open and close cycles.

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.

• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.

• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.

• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.

• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.

• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.

• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that you install an edge sensor BEFORE proceeding with the control station installation.

• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled.

• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.

• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

• Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate.

• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance.

• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.

• Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is not moving.

• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

• ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a trained professional.

• Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to gate travel.

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

To protect against fire and electrocution:

• DISCONNECT power BEFORE installing or servicing operator.

• To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging more than 18 inches (46 cm) deep.

For continued protection against fire:

• Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.

Remove the two screws on the side of operator and remove the cover.

Insert the rubber plugs into the holes in the bottom of the operator. Use a

screwdriver or a pair of scissors to puncture the rubber plug to allow the wires to be threaded through (Figure 1A).

Remove the four screws that secure the pulley cover to the operator

(Figure 1B).

Run the electrical wires through the conduit, allow at least 15-3/4 inches

(400 mm) to protrude (Figure 2A).

Position the operator over the mounting plate and pull electrical wires through

the rubber plugs. Lower operator on to the mounting plate. Align the pulley with the chain (Figure 2B).

POWER WIRING + WIRE THE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES

POWER WIRING

Connect 120 Vac to L-N terminals on the electronic card, 50/60Hz frequency

maximum.

The electronic card is equipped with an amperometric sensor which constantly monitors the motor’s drive. If the gate encounters an obstacle, the sensor immediately detects the overload on the operator and the gate reverses.

Do not apply AC power until instructed.

WIRE THE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES

An entrapment protection device such as photoelectric sensors or an edge MUST be wired to the operator and then configured for your application. NOTE: If entrapment

protection devices are not used, you must jumper the connections to disable the contacts.

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR CONFIGURATIONS

“OPENING DURING CLOSING” (N.C.) CONTACT

If contact is opened while the gate is closing, the gate reverses direction. To select this function set the number 9 functionality switch to OFF (refer to the "Functionality Switches" chart on page 22). Default is OFF. To disable this function set the number 9 functionality switch to ON.
