IMPORTANT USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Automatic gate systems provide user convenience and limit vehicular traffic. Because these systems can produce hig h levels
of force, it is important that you are aware of the potential hazards associated with the system. Potential hazards may include
pinch points, entrapment positions, lack of proper pedestrian access, blind spots for traffic visibility.
It is the joint responsibility of the designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify the system is properly configured for its
intended use. Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate and gate system before use. Be
sure the installer trains you about the basic functions of the required reversing devices associated with the gate system and
how to properly test them. Reversing devices may include reverse loops, sensing edges, photoelectric cells, inherent reverse
detection, and/or other external devices.
All users should follow and understand the following points:
Carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Carefully read and follow the “Restrictions & Warnings” section of this manual.
Carefully read and follow the “Entrapment Prevention” section of this manual.
Carefully read and understand the “Glossary of Terms” section of this manual.
Make sure that all residents and users are familiar with the proper use of the gate system and its potential hazards.
Make sure proper reversing devices are installed on all gates to avoid all potential h azards and entrapment.
Understand loops and loop detectors, photoelectric cells and other devices must be installed with this gate operator to
prevent the gate from closing on vehicles.
Installation, service and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Understand the manufacturer can not be held responsible for damage or injury caused by impr oper, erroneous or
unreasonable use. Failure to comply with these guidelines may create a dangerous situa tion and will void any and all
warranties.

INTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION:
This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing device. The system will sense an
obstruction in both the open and close cycles, and will reverse the direction of the gate travel upon encountering an
obstruction. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, a
warning alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation. This is called a “Hard
Shutdown”. Please read and follow the “Shutdown Conditions” section of this manual for more directions.
XTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION:
E
Non-contact and/or contact sensors must be installed to provide external entrapment prevention in accordance with UL325
section 3.1. Use only UL325 compliant devices and low voltage (24V) devices. Carefully follow the installation manual for the
UL325 device used for installation, usage, and maintenance.
Non-Contact Sensors (Photo Beams):
Non-contact sensors generally are photoelectric cells or like devices. For gate operators utilizing non-contact sensors:
1. Refer to the diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors.
2. Use care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.
3. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where a risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the
perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier. Use caution when installing non-contact sensors since some
devices only cover a select area. For example, a photo beam will not cover the full height of a gate/fence area.
Refer to the diagram below.
Open beams help protect
areas between the gate and
the adjacent fence. CAUTION:
This beam should be used in
conjunction with a contact
sensor.

Contact Sensors (Edge Sensors):
Contact sensors generally are sensing edges or like devices. For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:
1. Refer to the diagram below for placement of contact sensors.
2. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such the leading
edge, trailing edge, and posts mounted inside and outside of the vehicular slide gate and motor.
3. Hardwired contact sensors shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the
gate operator is not subject to any mechanical damage.
4. Wireless contact sensors such as ones that transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
prevention functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impe ded by building
structures, landscaping or similar obstructions. All wireless contact sensors shall function under the intended end-use
conditions.

Select a location for the gate operator to be installed prior to pouring the concrete pad. There are two ways to mount a slide
gate operator: the traditional front mount, or the rear mount method. Both methods have their advantages and will reliably
open the gate.
F
RONT MOUNT METHOD:
The front mount method places the operator up front
near the flow of traffic and uses a single chain across
the length of the gate. The advantages and
disadvantages include:
Advantages:
Less chain is required for the application
saving money and time.
Does not require the use of an additional idler
sprocket saving money and time.
Less room is needed for the application and
allowing the operator to be more accessible for
service.
Disadvantages:
The operator is up front near the flow of traffic
allowing for a vehicle to damage the operator
more easily.
The chain runs across the length of the gate
allowing visitors to see and possible tamper
with it.
R
EAR MOUNT METHOD:
A rear mount installation places the operator at the back of the
gate and uses a double chain with an additional idler sprocket.
The advantages and disadvantages include:
Advantages:
The chain is attached to the rear of the gate and is not
visible when the gate is closed.
The operator is in the back away from the flow of traffic
for added safety.
The operator is in the back allowing more room for tight
parking conditions.
Disadvantages:
Twice as much chain is required for this type of
application = added expense.
The application requires the use of an additional idler
sprocket = added expense.
