Installation Instructions Regarding the Gate Operator
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.
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - To Reduce the Risk of Injury or Death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop 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.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving. Make sure the power for the gate operator is off.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to the gate or gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
A) Install the gate operator only when:
1) The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage Class of the gate.
2) 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 1/4inch (57.15 mm) 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.
3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and
4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
B) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
C) 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.
D) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
E) F) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls
intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight
of the gate outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
G) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.
H) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam:
1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for each Type of application,
2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate still moving, and
3) 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.
I) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and postmounted both inside and outside of a vehicular
horizontal slide gate.
2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is
not subjected to mechanical damage.
5)
