children.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No one should cross the path of
the moving gate.
This operator must be tested monthly. The gate must reverse on contact with a ridged
object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the
force or the limit travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of injury.
Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from
injury:
Keep gates properly maintained. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate
hardware. It takes many years of experience to make proper adjustments to gate
hardware or operators.
This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrian must use separate entrance.
There is nothing on a gate operator that is easily repaired without a great deal of
experience. Save yourself some time and call a qualified Gate Service Contractor who
knows your type of gate operator.

*Confirm that the gate is designed and built according to current published industry standards.
*Confirm that all appropriate safety features and safety accessory devices are being incorporated, including
both primary and secondary entrapment protection devices.
*Make sure that the gate works freely before installing the operator.
*Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installation of the operator.
*Eliminate all gaps in a sliding gate below a 4 foot height that permits a 2 ¼ inch sphere to pass through
any location, including the area of the adjacent fence covered when the gate is in the open position.
*Eliminate all gaps in a swinging gate below a 4 foot height that permit a 4 inch sphere to pass through any
location, including the hinge area of the gate.
*Operator must be disconnected from the power source before attempting any installation of accessories.
*Install this gate operator according to our installation instructions.
*Adjust the operator clutch or load sensing device to the minimum force setting that will still allow for reliable
gate operation.
*Install the operator inside the fence line(do not install the operator on the public side of fence line).
*Install a proper electrical ground to a gate operator.
*Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) 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.
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control
shall not cause the operator to start.
*Install a minimum of two(2) WARNING SIGNS, one on each side of the gate where easily visible and take
pictures of the installation.
*Test all safety features for proper function before placing the automatic vehicular gate into service.
*Train owner/users about basic functions and safety features of the gate system, including how to turn off
the power and how to operate the manual disconnect feature.
*Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and maintenance manual with end user.

more single family units), hotel, garages, retail stores, other buildings servicing the general public.
Class three: Industrial or limited Access
A vehicular gate operator intended for use at an industrial location or building such as a factory, loading dock area, or other
locations not intended to service the general public.
Class Four: Restricted Access
A vehicular gate operator intended for use at a guarded industrial location or building such as airport security areas or other
restricted access locations not servicing the general public where unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by
security personnel.
Other components required to satisfy UL 325
Each class must have a primary and secondary means to sense and react to obstructions within two seconds.
The six types of obstruction sensing systems are:
Type A:
Inherent obstruction sensing system. This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate within two seconds of
contact with a solid object.
Type B 1:
Provision for connection of a non-contact device can be used, such as a secondary protection.
Type B2:
Provision for connection of a contact sensor. Examples include an edge device or equivalent. This can be used for
secondary protection.
Type C:
Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve.
Type D:
