training with gate operators.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS BY UL STANDARDS
RAMSET
Prior to installation, the following must be
observed: (per UL 325.56.8.4).
a) Install the gate operator only when:
1. The 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 (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4
inch (57.2 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,
and
4. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
b) 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.
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.
g) The stop and/or reset button must be located in the lineof-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not
cause the operator to start.
h) A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed,
one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
i) For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor in accordance with UL 31.1.1:
1. See instructions on the placement of non-contact 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.
j) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor in accordance with 31.1.1:
1. 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 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.
RAM 300
d) 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 or pressure relief
valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
e) For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
1. The gate operator controls must be placed so that
the user has full view of the gate area when the gate
is moving.
2. The placard as required by 58.1.6 shall be placed
adjacent to the controls,
3. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop
sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and
4. No other activation device shall be connected.
f) 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.
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 gate operator is not subjected to
mechanical damage.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the
bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE HOMEOWNER
Ask your technician about all the features of our
new Ramset operator.
Safety devices, such as reversing loops,
phantom loops, photo eyes, or miller edges
must be installed on your gate before the
operator may be used. Ask your technician
which safety devices best suit your safety needs.
Read your warranty certificate and fill out your
warranty extension card. Return the warranty
card, via certified mail, to Ramset within 90 days
of purchase:
Ramset Automatic Gate Services, Inc.
9116 De Garmo Ave.
Sun Valley, CA. 91352
Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the controls away from children.
The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians
should use a separate entrance.
Use the emergency release only when the gate
is not moving & power is turned off to the unit.
Have the technician give you a demonstration of
how to use the emergency release.
Keep gates properly maintained. Have a
qualified gate technician service the gate
operator and gate hardware every six months to
a year. This includes checking of safety devices,
E.R.D. and battery back up systems.
Warning signs must be placed on every gate in a
highly visible area.
To reset the audible alarm on the gate operator
you must turn the power of the unit off for
approximately 10 seconds, then back on.
Always keep a good relationship with your
technician and keep his or her number handy
for future maintenance or emergencies.

Always keep people, children and objects away
from the gate while the gate is in operation. No
