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, frequenc y 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.
•
Demonstrat e 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.
4
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 of 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 over tighten 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.
•
HORIZONTAL SLIDE 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 - In open rollers gates, hands can get caught between the top of the gate and
•
top rollers, which can result in serious injury. Feet can be injured in the same manner between the
bottom of the gate and bottom rollers. Covers to guard these pinch points should be installed.
Crush Hazard - In picket gates, body parts positioned between the bars can become seriously
•
mutilated when the gate begins to move, which can result in serious injury or death. If any
openings are greater than 2 1/4 inches, a screen should be installed over the gate (in accordance
with the provisions of UL 325) to prevent persons from reaching through and/or passing through
the gate. In like manner, screening should also be applied to the adjacent fence area covered by the
gate when in the fully open position.
Be sure that warning signs are prominently displayed on both sides of the gate and any other place
•
where danger exists.

UL LISTINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions regarding the SL3000UL™
A)
Install the gate operator only when:
1)
The operator is appropriate for the construction 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 (1.2 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.15 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.
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.
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.
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 to compensate
for a damaged gate.
E)
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset
an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices
must be located in the line of sight of the outdoor gate or easily accessible controls
shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
