UL325 Entrapment Protection Requirements
Definitions
ENTRAPMENT: The condition when a person is caught or held in a
position that increases the risk of injury.
SLIDE GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE: An entrapment zone exists if at any
point during travel, the gap between the gate and any opposing fixed
edge or surface such as posts, walls, pillars, columns or the operator
itself, is less than 16" (406 mm) in a location up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) above
grade.
INDEPENDENT MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE: An
entrapment protection device is independent if it is a different type
(photoelectric sensors, edge device, inherent protection device) from the
other devices in the same entrapment zone.
Use the Site Planning Safety Checklist in the appendix to identify
entrapment zones found in your installation.
Requirements
•
A minimum of two independent monitored entrapment protection
devices are required to be installed at each entrapment zone.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to install external monitored
entrapment protection devices for each entrapment zone.
•
The operator will only operate with a minimum of two independent
monitored entrapment protection devices installed in each direction;
two in the open direction and two in the closed direction.
• Inherent (built into the operator) - Model HDSL24UL ONLY.
NOTE: Model HDFSL24UL does not rely on the inherent built into the
operator and mandates the use of external entrapment protection
devices to operate.
• LiftMaster monitored external photoelectric sensors, see page 50 for
acceptable sensors.
• LiftMaster monitored external edge sensors, see page 50 for
acceptable sensors.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
To reduce the risk of INJURY or DEATH:

• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on
contact with an object or reverse when an object activates the
noncontact sensors. After adjusting the speed, force, or the limit
of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the
gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
• Use the manual release ONLY when the gate is not moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read this manual. Have a
Trained Gate Systems Technician make repairs to gate hardware.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety Installation Information
SAFETY
1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems
are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one
component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual
application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into
account the possible hazards associated with each individual
application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can
create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design
and installation must reduce exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a
component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be
incorporated into every gate system design. Specific safety features
include:
• Edges Sensors (contact)
• Guards for Exposed Rollers
• Photoelectric Sensors
• Screen Mesh
• Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage
class of the gate.
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened
from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.8 m) above
the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inches (6 cm) 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.
c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding
is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. The gate 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 pedestrian access such that persons will not come in
contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the
vehicular gate.
6. 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.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions
prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. Permanently mounted access controls intended for users to activate,
must be located at least 6 feet (1.8m) 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. Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by
authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in
the line-of-sight of the gate.
9. For a gate operator utilizing a Stop and/or Reset button, it must be
located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control
shall not cause the operator to start.
10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed in the area
of the gate. Each warning sign is to be visible by persons located on
the side of the gate on which the sign is installed.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. See Install Entrapment Protection section for placement of non-
contact sensor for each type of application.
b. 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.
c. 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.
12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. 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 post mounted both inside and outside of a
vehicular horizontal slide gate.
b. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring
arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
c. A wireless device 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 device shall function under the
intended end-use conditions.
Role of Dealers, Installers, and
Trained Gate System Technicians
• Ensure entire system being designed manufactured and installed meets
all applicable standards and codes including UL 325 and ASTM F2200.
• Demonstrate the basic functions and safety features of the gate system to
owners/end users/general contractors, including how to turn off power
and how to operate the manual disconnect feature.
• Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and
maintenance manual with end user.
• Explain to the owners the importance of testing by a trained gate system
technician that includes a routine re-testing of the entire system
including the entrapment protection devices, and explain the need for
the owners to insure that this testing is performed monthly.
Role of End Users/Home Owners
• Contact a trained gate systems technician to maintain and repair the gate
system (End users should never attempt to repair the gate system).
• Retain and utilize the installation manual and maintenance and
important safety instructions; see page 38.
• Routinely check all gate operator functions and gate movement.
• Discontinue use if safety systems operate improperly, the gate is
damaged, or the gate is difficult to move. Contact trained gate systems

Wire Entrapment Protection Devices
There are three options for wiring external entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the
manual included with your entrapment protection device for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which
include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wiredto each input. Additional monitored entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
NOTE: Board inputs for entrapment protection devices are yellow.
Control Board
CLOSES EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric
sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full
open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during
gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or
edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.
Expansion Board
EYE ONLY and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based
on the switch settings (located next to the terminals)

INSTALLATION
Step 5 Earth Ground Rod
Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire
must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the
ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or
destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.
2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.
Step 6 Power Wiring
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power
switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared
and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a
separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without
consulting the wiring diagram.
• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.
The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly
labeled.
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.
The operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or 240 Vac or a solar panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application. An
optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120 Vac (refer to
Accessories). For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in
separate conduits.
SOLAR APPLICATIONS: For solar applications see page 48 in the Solar Panels section. Follow the directions according to your application.
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.

ADJUSTMENT
Limit, Speed, and Force Adjustment
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a moving gate.
• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety
reversal system.
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move
gate.
• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking
gate.
• If one control (force, speed or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
controls may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be
tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with an object.
• Faster gate speed increases risk to pedestrians. Use minimum speed
necessary to move gate.
Introduction
Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit
and force adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program
where the gate will stop in the open and close position. The electronic
controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the gate.
The force is adjusted automatically when you program the limits but
should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the control
board (refer to Fine Tune the Force section) to compensate for
environmental changes. The limit setup LEDs (located next to the SET
OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons) indicate the status of the limits, refer to
the table to the right.
The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control
(refer to Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Appendix). Setting the
limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control
programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.
NOTE: The TEST buttons on the control board will not work until the
limits have been set and the required entrapment protection devices are
installed.
Set the Initial Limits, Speed, and Force
For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each
operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting
the limits and force.
For slide gate applications the open limit and closed limit MUST be set
at least four feet apart.
1. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons
simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.
2. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to
the open or close limit.
3. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set.
4. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to
the other limit.
5. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set.
6. Set the speed dial to the desired setting, see page 24.
HDSL24UL: 0.5 ft/sec. min - 1 ft./sec. max.
HDFSL24UL: 1 ft/sec. min - 2 ft./sec. max.
7. Cycle the gate open and close. This automatically sets the force.
When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit
setting mode.

Speed Control
The SPEED CONTROL dial controls the speed of the operator. The dial is
preset to minimum from the factory. Set the speed as low as possible for
the intended application.
Gate operating speed for HDSL24UL 0.5 ft./sec. - 1 ft./sec.
Gate operating speed for HDFSL24UL 1 ft./sec. - 2 ft./sec.
For dual gate setup, set the SPEED CONTROL dial on each operator to the
same setting or make sure the gate that travels further is set faster than
the other operator for the smoothest operation.
After any speed adjustment:
1. Cycle the gate open and close to automatically relearn the forces.
2. Perform the Obstruction Test, see page 25.
Fine Tune the Force
Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental
changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.
Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate
will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The force setting is the same for both the
open and close gate directions.
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS.
2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise.
3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit, speed, and force setting adjustment see page 25.
Settings 1-3: Fixed force settings (gate will not adjust due to gate wear
or temperature changes).
Settings 4-10: Automatically increase the force due to gate wear or
temperature changes.

ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the Limits
After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be
adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the
Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section.
After any limit adjustment:
1. Cycle the gate open and close to automatically relearn the forces.
2. Perform the Obstruction Test, see page 25.
Obstruction Test Model HDSL24UL
ONLY
The HDSL24UL operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the
operator) obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an
obstruction during motion, the operator will reverse direction of the gate
and then stop. The following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built
in to the operator) obstruction sensing device:
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the
gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2. Either place an object between the open gate and the fixed closed
catch post or obstruct the gate by hand. Make sure that any external
entrapment protection devices, such as an edge or photoelectric
sensor will NOT be activated by the object or by hand.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse
upon contact with the object or hand. If the gate does not reverse,
reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly counterclockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the
open and close limits, but MUST reverse after contact with an object
or hand.
4. Repeat the test for the open direction.
Test the operator after any adjustments are made.

OPERATION
Operator Alarm
When the inherent force of the operator detects the following twice
consecutively, the alarm will sound up to 5 minutes and the operator will
need to be reset.
A. The gate is hitting an obstruction.
B. The gate does not meet specifications.
C. Debris is on the gate's track such as mud, rocks, dirt, etc.
D. The gate has one or more broken axles or wheels.
E. The gate wheel is off the gate rail.
The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is
low.
Remove any obstructions or repair gate system. Toggle the reset switch
to RESET then back to NORMAL OPERATION to shut off the alarm and
reset the operator. After the operator is reset, normal functions will
resume.
Remote control
There are 3 different options for programming the remote control depending on how you would like the remote control to function, see page 26.
Single Button Open Only
When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open the gate. The Timer-to-Close can be set to close the gate.
Single Button Control (SBC) Functionality
Program one remote control button as an open, close, and stop
When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open the gate. During the open cycle another activation of the remote
control will stop the gate and the next activation of the remote control will close the gate.
When the gate is in the open position, activation of the remote control button will close the gate. If the remote control is activated while the gate is closing,
the gate will stop and the next activation will open the gate.
Three Button Remote Control
Program each remote control button as an open, close, and stop.

EXPANSION AND RELAY ADAPTER BOARDS
• To AVOID damaging the circuit board, relays or accessories, DO NOT connect more than 42 Vdc (32 Vac) to the AUX relay contact terminal blocks.
Expansion and Relay Adapter Boards Overview
1. QUICK CLOSE switch:
OFF: No change to the gate's normal operation.
ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is deactivated it causes an
opening or a stopped gate to close (ignores the Timer-to-Close).
2. AC FAIL switch:
OPEN: Loss of AC power will cause the gate to open approximately 15
seconds after AC power fail and remain OPEN until AC power is
restored (enabling the Timer-to-Close).
BATT: With loss of AC power, gate will remain in present position and
operator is powered from batteries.
3. EXIT FAIL switch:
When set to OPEN, if the EXIT plug-in loop detector (Model
LOOPDETLM) detects a fault, then the gate will open and remain open
until fault is cleared. When set to CLOSE, then plug-in EXIT loop
detector faults are ignored (EXIT loop is faulted and inoperative).
4. ANTI-TAIL switch:
OFF: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing
gate to stop and reverse.
ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing
gate to pause. Once the vehicle is clear the gate will continue to close.
5. AUX RELAY switches:
Set the AUX RELAY switches as needed to obtain the desired function
as shown on the following page.
6. EYE/EDGE switches:
Set the EYE/EDGE switches as needed to obtain the desired OPEN or
CLOSE functionality.
7. 1, 2, and 3 LEDs:
LEDs indicating the status of the EYE/EDGE inputs. Also used to check
the firmware version of the expansion board:
1. Locate the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs on the expansion board.
2. Disconnect AC/DC power to the main control board for 15
seconds.
3. Connect power. The 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will flash in sequence until
the main control board firmware revision is displayed. When the
green POWER LED glows solid the LED 1 will flash the version
number, then stop, then the LED 2 will flash the revision number
(for example: For version 5.1 when the green POWER LED is solid
the LED 1 will flash 5 times, then stop, then the LED 2 will flash
once).
8. J6 and J7 inputs:
Communication bus connects control board, expansion board, or relay
adapter board. Also connects LiftMaster wireless edge receiver
LMWEKITU. NOTE: ONLY one wireless edge receiver may be
connected to an operator. Up to 4 wireless edge transmitters
LMWETXU may be programmed to the receiver.
9. Input LEDs:
LEDs indicating the status of the SBC, OPN, CLS, and STP inputs.
10. Loop detector inputs:
Inputs for the Plug-In Loop Detectors (Model LOOPDETLM)

* Cycle count
First, note the current Aux Relay switch positions. To determine the
actual cycles that the gate operator has run (in thousands), set all three
Aux Relay switches to the ON setting for Aux Relay 1. The Expansion
Board’s 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will blink out the cycle count, with 1 LED
blinking 1000’s, 2 LED blinking 10,000’s, 3 LED blinking 100,000’s, and
simultaneously all three LED’s blink 1,000,000’s (e.g. 1 LED blinks 3
times, 2 LED blinks 6 times, and 3 LED blinks once. Cycle count is
163,000.). Cycle count displayed is between 1,000 and 9,999,000 cycles.
After servicing, set Aux Relay switches back to their appropriate
positions. Cycle count cannot be reset or changed. If under 1,000 cycles
the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will turn on for 10 seconds, then turn off.
NOTE: The expansion board will flash the cycle count 3 times then all the
LEDs will turn on solid for 10 seconds then turn off.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power
(AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be
cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on
a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
•
TEST THE GATE OPERATOR MONTHLY. The gate MUST reverse on
contact with an object or reverse when an object activates the
noncontact sensors. After adjusting the force, speed, or the limit of
travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
• Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT
moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read this manual carefully.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
• ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a Trained Gate Systems
Technician.
• Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted
and there are no obstructions to gate travel.
• To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster
part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
• ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment.

Batteries
Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage.
The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is
low. Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For
best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use
only LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The batteries
contain lead and need to be disposed of properly.
The operator comes with two 7AH batteries. Two 33AH batteries
(A12330SGLPK), with battery harness model K41-0102-000 (not
provided), may be used in place of the 7AH batteries.
33AH batteries are NOT compatible if transformer kit model 3PHCONV is
installed.
Drive Train
Over time, the drive chain on the operator will stretch and need to be tightened.
To tighten the drive chain adjust either of the two chain eye bolts. NOTE:The
chain should have no more than 1 inch of sag for every 10 feet of chain length.

SOLAR PANELS
Step 6 Solar Panel(s)
SOLAR PANELS ARE NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES
NOTE: The use of photoelectric sensor heaters (models LMRRUL and LMTBUL) is NOT recommended in solar applications.
Solar Application Requirements
• A minimum of two 10W solar panels in series (Model SP10W12V).
• A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SP10W12V).
• A heater cannot be used with a solar application.
Solar Zones
Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation
and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the
map below. Local geography and weather conditions may require
additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not
supported in northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number
of hours of sunlight during the winter months. The cycles/day ratings are
approximations. Ratings vary based on gate construction, installation, and
temperature. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience long
periods of heavy fog, lake effect snow, or rain.

Slide Gate Gaps
A gap, measured in the horizontal plane
parallel to the roadway, between a fixed
stationary object nearest the roadway (such
as a gate support post) and the gate frame
when the gate is in either the fully open
position or the fully closed position, shall not
exceed 2 ¼ in.. Exception: All other fixed
stationary objects greater than 16 in. from
the gate frame shall not be required to
comply with this section. Any gap must be
protected. Install safety device to protect

SLIDE GATE OPENINGS GUIDELINES
Openings of a horizontal slide gate must be smaller than 2 1/4"
or else be guarded or screened. These design rules apply to
both the moving gate as well as the portion of adjacent fence
that the gate covers in the open position. See Illustrations

**Swing Gate Entrapment Zones: Locations between a moving gate or moving, exposed operator components and a counter
opposing edge or surface where entrapment is possible up to 1.8m (6 ft) above grade. Such locations occur if during any point in travel:
a) The gap between the bottom of a moving gate and the ground is greater than 101.6mm (4 in) and less than 406mm (16 in); or
b) The distance between the center line of the pivot and the end of the wall, pillar, or column to which it is mounted when in the open
or closed position exceeds 101.6mm (4 in). Any other gap between a moving gate and xed counter opposing edges or surfaces or
other xed objects is less than 406mm (16 in) (examples are walls, curbs, berms, or other immovable objects).
The above examples are two of many installation possibilities and are for illustration purposes only.
See device and operator manuals for complete instruction.
