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.
RAM 30-30
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.
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).

reaching a limit switch, the alarm will sound for
6 minutes and the control board will not accept
any commands. After the 6 minutes the 24 VDC is
removed from the alarm connection and the board
resets to normal operation.
Terminal # 9 and 10 - LIMIT 1 & LIMIT 2:
Direction depends on Dip Switch “C” 7 (See “Dip
Switch Configuration”). Stops the motor from
moving in one direction. These wires are preset in
factory and should not be moved. Becomes active
with a closed contact to common.
Terminal # 11 and 12 - COMMON:
Low voltage common.
Terminal # 13 - +24 VAC:
Provides 24 VAC for peripheral accessories.
Terminal # 4 - FIREBOX:
Opens the gate. Used with fire department key
switches & controls. Opens with closed contact
to common. Closes immediately when closed
contact on common is removed.
Terminal # 5 - EXIT:
Opens the gate. Used with loop detectors, photo
eyes, keypads, phone entry systems, three-button stations…etc. Becomes active with a closed
contact to common.
Terminal # 6 - PHANTOM:
Keeps the gate open when the open limit switch
is activated. Used with loop detectors. Becomes
active with a closed contact to common.
Terminal # 7 - RADIO:
Operation depends on dip switch “C” 3 (See “Dip
Switch Configuration”). Used with an RF receiver
or pushbutton. Becomes active with a closed
contact to common.
Terminal # 8 - EDGE:
When triggered the gate will stop. The gate will
remain stopped until the detector is cleared. Once
the detector is cleared, the operator will resume
Terminal # 14 and 15 - MAG (-) & MAG (+):
Supplies 24 VDC to a Magnetic Lock when the
gate is closing or closed. If gate is opening or
opened, then no power is supplied. Leave open
if not used.
Terminal # 16 - M BRAKE:
Used ONLY on the Ram 50 Operator. If while
the gate is closed someone or something tries to
manually open the gate without a proper signal
(keypad, exit loop, radio signal…), the motor will
lock up for 6 minutes. After the 6 minutes, the
operator will then secure close the gate.
Terminal # 17 and 18 - MOTOR 1 & MOTOR 2:
Supplies power to the motor. Direction depends
on Dip Switch “C” 7 (see “Dip Switch Configuration”). These wires are preset and connected in
the factory and should not be moved.

RAMSET “INTELLIGATE” CONTROL BOARD
RAMSET
Introduction:
Ramset’s “Intelligate” Control Board works
with Sliding, Swinging and Overhead vehicular
gate operators. It is controlled by a programmable microprocessor that reads and precisely
executes all functions of the Control Board.
The Control Board is powered by a separate
mounted 24 VAC transformer. This allows no
necessary board modifications between 110
