IMPORTANT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS & 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.

NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the Vehicular 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 limit of travel, retest the Vehicular Gate Operator. Failure to adjust and retest the

Vehicular Gate Operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

5. Use the Emergency Release only when power switch or circuit breaker has been turned off. Using the Emergency Release during a power failure can be a hazard if power is abruptly restored.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the Owner’s Manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

Do not install this gate operator if you do not have experience or appropriate training with gate operators.

Prior to installation, the following must be observed: (per UL 325.51.8.4).

Install the vehicular gate operator only when:

1) The Vehicular Gate Operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate 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 1/4 inch (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.

4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

b) The Vehicular Gate Operator is intended

for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied 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 Vehicular Gate Operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch to compensate for a damaged gate.

e) 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 a Vehicular Gate 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.

All warning signs and placards must be installed

where visible in the area of the gate.

g) For Vehicular Gate Operators utilizing a non-

contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1 Type B1 non-contact sensor (photo electric sensor or the equivalent).

1) See instructions on the placement of noncontact sensors 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 is 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.

h) For a Vehicular Gate Operator utilizing a contact

sensor in accordance whit 30A.1.1

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 vehicular gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.

5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the vehicular 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.

CLASSES OF VEHICULAR GATE OPERATORS

Vehicular horizontal slide-gate operator (or system) - A vehicular gate operator (or system) that controls

a gate which slides in a horizontal direction that is intended for use for vehicular entrance or exit to a drive, parking lot, or the like.

Vehicular swing-gate operator (or system) - A vehicular gate operator (or system) that controls a gate which swings in an arc in a horizontal plane that is intended for use for vehicular entrance or exit to a drive, parking lot or the like.

Residential vehicular gate operator-class I - A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use at a home of one-to four single family dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.

Commercial/general access vehicular gate operator-class II - A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multi-family housing unit (five or more single family units), hotels, garages, retail stores, or other buildings serving the general public.

Industrial/limited access vehicular gate operator-class III - A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an industrial location or building such as a factory or loading dock area or other locations not intended to service the general public.

Restricted access vehicular gate operator-class IV - Avehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.
