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
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.

Caution - If the “Timer” is to be left in the “ON” position, then add a safety loop and center loop.
DO NOT over-bend the
cord from the operator.
Doing this will cause the
wires to eventually break.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of severe 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 the moving gate in sight and away from people and objects until it is completely closed.
4. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service pers
