IMPORTANT NOTICES

Vehicular gate systems provide convenience to their users and limit vehicular traffic onto your property. These systems can produce high levels of force; therefore it is important that you are aware of possible hazards associated with your gate operating system. These hazards may include pinch points, entrapment, absence of controlled pedestrian access or traffic backup.

Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate and gate operator system. Be sure that the installer has trained you about the basic functions of the reversing systems associated with your gate operating system and how to test them. These include reversing loops, inherent reversing system, and may include electric edges, photoelectric cells, or other external devices.

• This Owner's Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be installed

with this gate operator to prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.

• The speed limit for vehicular traffic through the gate area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and signs to keep vehicular traffic from speeding through the gate area. Failure to adhere to posted speed limits can result in damage to the gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.

• Be sure that all residents are familiar with the proper use of the gate and gate operator. Be sure that all residents are familiar with the possible hazards associated with the gate system.

• Be sure that all warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of the gate in an area where they are fully visible to traffic.

• It is your responsibility to periodically check all reversing devices. If any of these devices are observed to function improperly, remove the operator from service immediately and contact your installing or servicing dealer.

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.

• Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with any gate-operating

device.

• Be sure that all activating devices are installed a minimum distance of 10 feet away from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person cannot touch the gate or gate operator while using the activating device. If activating devices are installed in violation of these restrictions, immediately remove the gate operator from service and contact your installing dealer.

RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS

Install The Gate Operator Only If:

• The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application.

• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.

• This operator is intended for installation only on swing gates used to control vehicular traffic.

Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.

• The gate must be installed in a location so that sufficient clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment (see diagram). Swinging gates should not open into public access areas.

• The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch to compensate for a damaged gate.

• 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. Outdoor or easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

• All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch (Type C - Primary) and an inherent (Type A - Secondary) entrapment sensing system. This system will sense an obstruction in both the opening and closing gate cycles, and will cause the gate to reverse direction should an obstruction be encountered. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, an alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation. See Section 4 for more information.

EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to provide external entrapment protection. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:

• See diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors.

• Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips

the sensor while the gate is still moving, and

• 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.

For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor:

• 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.

• A wireless contact sensor such as 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.

• The concrete pad is sized so that there is a minimum of four (4) inches of concrete from the outside edge of the mounting pipes.

• The height requirement is determined by adjusting the mounting plate / pipe assembly so that the top of the mounting plate is 4 3/4 inches above the top of the gate rail (Figure 4). This will allow you to mount the gate bracket onto the bottom rail of the gate and will keep the crank and connecting arms level (see page 8, Figure

12).

• The top of the mounting plate must be at least six (6) inches above the ground. If it is less than this, the gate arms will scrape the ground when the operator starts.

• It is very important that the operator mounting plate is level.
