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 50 GB
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).

RAM 50 GB
use at a home of one-to four single family dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated there with.
