Safety Information
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.
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
public exposure to potential hazards.
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 design. Specific safety features include:
Gate Edges Enclosed Track Vertical Posts
Guards for exposed
rollers
Photo-electric Sensors Instructional and
Precautionary Signage
Screen Mesh
Important instructions follow. These instructions are intended to highlight certain safety related issues.
These instructions are not intended to be comprehensive. Because each application is unique, it is the
responsibility of the purchaser, designer, installer and end user to ensure that the total gate system is
safe for its intended use.
Safety Instructions
Select instructions are highlighted with this precautionary symbol (see left margin). Failure to follow
these selected instructions can result in serious injury or death.
STEP 1: BEFORE INSTALLATION
1 Confirm gate operator model is specified by Installation and Maintenance Manual for
application type, gate size and frequency or use.
2 Confirm ALL appropriate safety features, such as gate edges, photo-electric sensors,
vertical posts and enclosed tracks, are specified.
3 Confirm gate system design reduces pinch points and protects against entrapment.
4 Confirm gate system design has pedestrian access separate from vehicular entrance.
5 Confirm gate system design reduces traffic backup.
6 Confirm warning signage is included in design.
7 Confirm gate moves freely before installation of operator
8 Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installation of operator.
9 To avoid installation hazards, review the gate system operation and installation
procedures, such as manual disconnect mechanism procedure.
10 Confirm control design prohibits unauthorized use.
8 Safety Information
Doc 01-G0547
Rev D
STEP 2: DURING INSTALLATION
1 Disconnect power at service panel before making any electrical connection.
2 Avoid pinch points, be aware of all moving parts.
3 Adjust clutch or load sensing device to minimum force setting.
4 Do not over-tighten cutch or adjust force setting above minimum.
5 Install controls where user cannot touch gate while operating controls.
6 Install controls where user has full view of gate operation.
7 Install two or more warning signs on the gate to alert persons in the area of automatic gate
operation. Warning signs must be conspicuous.
8 Install operator inside fence line. DO NOT install operator on public side of fence line.
9 Secure gate operator cover.
STEP 3: AFTER INSTALLATION
1 Test all safety features.
2 Train end user about basic functions and safety features of gate system.
3 Leave Installation and Maintenance Manual and Safety Instructions with end user.

Safety Precautions for Open-Roller Gates and Ornamental “Grill
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
Injuries occur when people get their or feet caught between the top or bottom of the gate and the
gate roller. This potential pinch-point should be guarded against at all times. Enclosed style gate
tracks are available for refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also, roller guards are
available for installing over the rollers.
One more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post-mounted
both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES
Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms through openings in the grill and the gate is
operated. They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the moving gate grill and the
stationary fence post or fence. This potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4’ screen mesh
on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety
Brochure for details.

Pre-Installation Check-List
Φ Check the gate. It must operate smoothly and freely. If necessary, lubricate, adjust, or repair the
gate prior to operate installation. The gate must be level and plumb.
Φ Some gates may only be as wide as the gate opening. They may require a back frame to be
constructed to allow for chain attachments.
Φ Double check the size and weight of the gate to make sure that this operator is proper for this
application.
Φ If wiring has already been installed, check to make sure it meets the following specification and
requirements.

Wiring Specifications
Refer to Table 5.
A. The distances shown in Table 5 are measured in feet from the operator the power source.
B. These calculations are based on the National Electrical Code and allows for a 5% voltage
drop.
C. Supply voltage must be within 10% of the operator’s rating under load conditions.
D. There calculations are based on stranded copper wire.
E. It is highly recommended that only 90% of the distances shown be used; this will allow for a
10% safety factor.
F. For dual units, the distance shown should be cut in half.
G. Permanent wiring is to be employed as required by local codes.
H. All local codes must be strictly adhered to. It is very important that operator is properly
grounded.
I. Do not run control wires in the same conduit with power wires.
J. Do not run multi conductor or parallel conductor cable for controls.
K. All power wiring should be dedicated and protected.
