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.

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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-of­sight 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.

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.

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

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 edge sensor models G65MG0204, G65MGR020, or G65MGS020.

3 Edge Contact Sensor

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

Edge Sensor for Open Cycle Edge Sensor for Close Cycle

!

NON-CONTACT SENSORS

If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked 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. It is best to use monitored photoelectric sensors, model CPS-UN4. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL
gate operation in that direction will stop. Unmonitored photoelectric sensor models AOMRON and RETROAB are also acceptable.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• 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 swing gate. Non-contact sensors
such as photo eyes MUST be mounted across the gate opening and operate
during BOTH the open and close cycles.

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

• 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.

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

• DO NOT touch the heater when switch is on, heater may be hot.

• ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery
or working around the battery compartment.

WIRING

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT

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. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of

adequate capacity.

ADJUSTMENT

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

• Keep clear of moving arm while setting limits.

PREPARATION

SITE PREPARATION

Check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation.

GATE CONDUIT & CONCRETE PAD

Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 standards (refer
to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator (refer to specifications).

Conduit must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Consider the operator
placement BEFORE installing the pad or post.

Concrete Pads

SITE PREPARATION

SAFETY

Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any entrapment or
safety conditions encountered in your gate application (refer to page 5 for more
details). Install warning signs on both sides of the gate.

Warning Signs

Entrapment Danger

VEHICLE LOOPS

The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing the
gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or longer. Vehicle loops are
not required but are recommended.

SAFETY

STANDARD INSTALLATION

(Inside Property)

The illustration is an example of a standard installation.

COMPACT INSTALLATION

EARTH GROUND ROD

Proper grounding gives an electrical
charge, such as from an electrical
static discharge or a near lightning
strike, a path from which to
dissipate its energy safely into the
earth. Without this path, the intense
energy generated by lightning could
be directed towards the gate
operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a
direct lightning strike, proper
grounding can protect the gate
operator in most cases.

(Inside Property)

Check national
and local codes
for proper depth

(Inside Property)

The illustration is an example of a compact installation. If the operator arm
will hit an obstruction when the gate is in the open position follow the
directions for Compact Installation.

UPHILL DRIVEWAY INSTALLATION

(Side View)

(Outside Property)

The illustration is an example of an uphill driveway installation. If installing
the operator on a hill, a special swivel arm and hinges are required (not
provided).

DETERMINE LOCATION FOR CONCRETE PAD AND
OPERATOR

DO NOT run the operator until instructed.

Below is a recommended guide for positioning the concrete pad:

Measure 1/4 the length of the gate from the gate hinge center. This is A.

1

Subtract 14 inches from A to get B, the distance from the center of the output

2

shaft to the center of the gate hinge.

Open the gate 90°. The distance from the gate to the center of the output

3

shaft must be a minimum of 9 inches.

CONCRETE PAD AND OPERATOR ATTACHMENT

Check the national and local building codes before installation. NOTE: When lifting
the operator use the handle to avoid damaging the operator.

Install the electrical conduit.

1

Pour a concrete pad (reinforced concrete is recommended). The concrete pad

2

should be 6 inches above the ground and deeper than the frost line. Ensure
the pad is tall enough to avoid possible flooding.

Secure the operator to the concrete pad with appropriate fasteners.

3

NOTE: An alternative to a concrete pad is to post mount the operator (refer to
accessories).

Below the frost line.

POSITION THE GATE BRACKET

NOTE: It may be necessary to attach horizontal reinforcement to the gate before
attaching the gate bracket.

Position the operator arm onto the output shaft so that the pin slides into the

1

slot.

Measure 1/4 the length of the gate from the hinge center.

2

Make sure the operator arm is level and tack weld the gate bracket in this

3

position. Use the set screws on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place
while determining the correct measurements.

ADJUST THE OPERATOR ARM LENGTH

NOTE: The length of the arm can be adjusted if necessary. If adjusting the length,
ensure that both sections of the arm are adjusted proportionally. Use the set screws
on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place while determining the correct
measurements.

Close the gate and measure the distance of the operator arm from the gate

1

bracket to the output shaft center. This distance is E.

Open the gate 90° (do not allow arms to scissor when open). Measure both

2

sections of the arm (D and C). The arm lengths are correct as long as C+D=E
(arm should be perpendicular to the gate in the open position as shown).
