ROLE OF SPECIFIERS AND DESIGNERS
Specifiers and designers should design an automatic vehicular gate system to:
•Incorporate UL 325 compliant equipment.
•Utilize an operator suited for gate system type, size, frequency of use, location and user population
(Refer to UL 325 for usage class definitions)
•Separate pedestrian access from vehicle access.
•Reduce or eliminate pinch points.
•Reduce risk of entrapment injuries by minimizing all gaps in the gate and enclosing the area of the
travel of the gate.
•Secure controls from unauthorized use.
•Locate all controls out of reach from the gate.
•Allow the user full view of the gate when operating.
•Consider special populations, such as children or the elderly.
•Conspicuously display all warnings and instructions.
•Be consistent with DASMA’s Automatic Gate Opener System Safety Guide.
ROLE OF DEALERS, INSTALLERS AND
TRAINED GATE SYSTEM TECHNICIANS
Installers, during the course of the installation proceedings for each job, should:
•Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the application.
•Confirm that the gate is designed and built according to current published industry standards.
•Confirm that all appropriate features and accessory devices are being incorporated, including both
primary and secondary entrapment protection devices.
•Make sure that the gate works freely before installing the operator.
•Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installing the operator.
•Eliminate all gaps in the sliding gate below a 4 foot height that permit a 2 1/4 inch sphere to pass
through any location, including the area of the adjacent fence covered when the gate is in the open
position.
•Install the gate operator according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
•Adjust the operator clutch or load-sensing device to the minimum force setting that allows reliable gate
operation.
•Install operator inside fence line (DO NOT install operator on public side of fence line)
•Install a proper electrical ground to a gate operator.
•Install keypad controls where users cannot touch, or reach through gate while operating controls.
•Install controls where user has full view of gate operation.
•Install all warning signs (In accordance with UL 325) on both sides of the gate to warn persons in the
area of potential hazards associated with automatic vehicular gate operation.
•Test all features for proper functions before placing the automatic vehicular gate into service.
•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 a service contract 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 routinely.
•Offer the owner/end user a maintenance contract, or contact them regularly to offer maintenance.
6
Page 8
ROLE OF END USERS/HOME OWNER
End users should be made aware that they must:
•Contact a trained gate systems technician to maintain and repair the gate system (End users should
never attempt to repair the gate)
•Retain and utilize the installation and maintenance manual and safety instructions.
•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.
•Never overtighten the operator clutch of load sensing device to compensate for a damaged or stiff
operating gate.
•Prominently display and maintain warning signs on both sides of the gate.
•Keep all obstructions clear of the vicinity of the path of the gate system.
•Actively discourage pedestrian use of the vehicular gate operating system.
•Prevent anyone from playing near any part of the gate system.
•Never allow anyone to climb under, over or through a gate or the adjacent fence area.
•Never allow children to operate gate.
•Keep portable controls out of reach of children.
•Never allow anyone to install an operating control within reach of the gate.
•Never allow anyone to install a horizontal slide gate with exposed rollers or openings large enough to
allow a sphere of 2 1/4 inches to pass through any portion of the gate below a 4 foot height, including
the area of the adjacent fence covered when the gate is in the open position.
•Always be certain that the gate area is clear of pedestrians before operating the gate.
SWING GATE SYSTEMS
•Entrapment Zone Hazard - Body parts may become entrapped between a gate and a stationary object
when the gate begins to move, which can result in serious injury or death. Pedestrians must stay clear
of the gate path, and any area where gate motion is close to stationary objects.
•Pinch Points Hazard - The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a scissoring
effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the opening mechanism at all
times, particularly when gate is opening.
Be sure that warning signs are prominently displayed on both sides of the gate and any other place
where danger exists.

EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION
ADJUSTABLE TIMER
Use 12 gauge ground wire
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from
an electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a
path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the
earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by
lightning could be directed towards the Elite gate operato
r.
Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a
direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the
gate operator in most cases.
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from
the gate operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for
your area.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Neversplice two wires for the ground wire. If youshould
cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its
integrity, replace it with a single wire length.

pavement surface. The saw cut width should be larger than the wire diameter to avoid damage to the wire
insulation when placed in the saw slot. Cut the loop and feeder slots. Remove all debris from the slot with
compressed air. Check that the bottom of the slot is even.
3
It is highly recommended that a continuous length of wire be used to form the loop and feeder to the
detector. It is also highly recommend using 12-18 AWG cross-link polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for the
loop wire. Use heavier wire gauge for a more durable loop area. Use a wood stick or roller to insert the wire
to the bottom of the saw cut (Do not use sharp objects). Wrap the wire in the loop saw cut until the desired
number of turns is reached. Each turn of wire must lay flat on top of the previous turn.
4
The wire must be twisted together a minimum of 6 twists per foot from the end of the saw cut to the
detector.
5
The wire must be held firmly in the slot with 1" pieces of backer rod every 1 to 2 feet. This prevents the wire
from floating when the loop sealant is applied.
6
Apply the sealant. The sealant selected should have good adhering properties with similar expansion and
contraction characteristics to that of the pavement material.

PHOTOCELL INSTALLATION
To reduce the risk of injury, You must install a photocell sensor when the gate opens to less than 18”
from a wall or any other object or potential entrapment installation. Follow the installation instructions
provided with the photocell sensor for accurate placement of the photocell and the reflector.

If multiple sensors are being used, all of the photo beam sensors are to be connected in parallel at the UL
sensor input on the surge suppression board.
If you are going to use a non-contact sensor as a secondary entrapment protection you should use a recognized
component to comply with the revised UL 325 intended to be used in class I or class II gate operator, like the
