2. General Safety Information
A gate operator is only a component in a gate
system. The other parts of the gate system
can include the gate, the external entrapment
sensors, access controls, and vehicle detectors.
To have a gate system that provides safety,
security, and reliable operation it is essential these
components operate together as a system. It is
the responsibility of the system designer and/or
installer to ensure any safety or operational issues

Use of vehicle detectors (loop detectors) is strongly
encouraged to prevent damage to vehicles
caused by gates closing on them. This is not
considered to be a safety item as vehicle detectors
cannot provide protection to pedestrians. In some
situations, photoelectric devices may be used as
vehicle detectors, but should be wired accordingly.
4. Gate Construction and Safety
Gate construction plays a very important role in
ensuring the safety of any automated gate system.
The standard for gate construction is ASTM F2200.
Below are key areas to address safety in gate
design. For complete information consult the
standard. Copies of the standard are available at:

6. Entrapment Protection
The UL325 standard for gate operators requires
a minimum of two independent entrapment
protection means for each entrapment zone. An
entrapment zone is defi ned as follows:
For slide gates, any locations between a moving
gate and a counter opposing edge or surface
where entrapment is possible up to a height of 6
ft. (1.83m) above grade. Such locations occur if at
any point in travel the gap between a moving gate
and the fi xed counter opposing edges or surfaces
is less than 16 in. (406mm).
For swing gates, locations between a moving
gate or moving, exposed operator components
and a counter opposing edge or surface where
entrapment is possible up to 6 ft (1.83m) 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 4 in.
(101.6 mm) and less than 16 in. (406 mm); 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 4 in. (101.6 mm).
Any other gap between a moving gate and
fi xed counter opposing edges or surfaces
or other fi xed objects is less than 16 in. (406
mm) (examples are walls, curbs, berms or
Potential entrapment zones are shown in Figure 1
for slide and swing gates, but keep in mind there
may be other entrapment zones presented by

All Nice gate operators feature an Inherent
Entrapment System (IES) (UL325 Type A) that
monitors the force on the gate during travel.
This system protects in both the open and
close direction and reverses on contact with an
obstruction. This IES system serves as one of the
means of entrapment protection.
External sensors must be used to protect against
entrapment at each location where an entrapment
zone exists. The minimum number of external
sensors required to enable automatic operation
of the gate operator is as follows:
The gate operator tests for the presence of these
sensors, and if the required minimum number
is not found, the operator will only run using
continuous pressure on an Open/Close button,
either on the controller, or an external device.
7. Compatible External Sensors
Only the following external sensors have been
evaluated and tested with Nice gate systems and
are approved to be used for protection against
EMX WEL-200 Wireless Edge Transmitter/
Swing Gates: One sensor in the Close direction
(provided the gate in the open direction
presents no risk of entrapment.)
Slide Gates: One sensor in the Open direction
and one sensor in the Close direction.
IMPORTANT - Never weld parts to the gate or posts when the operator circuit board is powered. Doing so may
damage the board beyond repair.
PULL TO OPEN INSTALLATION - Location of Pivot Point
The following instructions provide up to 105° of swing.
Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
The pivot arm needs to be securely mounted to the hinge post or equivalent mounting surface. It is recommended to weld the
pivot arm to a metal post. In order to achieve the correct articulation, geometry and rate of speed of the gate it is critical that
the measurements below are followed. The pivot arm may need to be cut to achieve the correct placement of the actuator
mounting hole. Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
NOTE: If you have columns built around your gate hinge post, check these measurements for proper clearance before
proceeding with this pull to open installation.

12 - ACCESSORIES AND SENSORS
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to provide complete external entrapment
protection.
Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and 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.
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is
not subjected to mechanical damage.
A wireless contact sensor 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. See 1550 or 1551 manual for more information on external entrapment protection.
DURING INSTALLATION
• DISCONNECT POWER at the control panel before making any electric service power connection.
• Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
• Know how to operate the manual release.
• Adjust the unit to use the minimum force required to operate the gate smoothly even during mid-travel reversing.
• Place controls a minimum of 8 feet away from the gate so that the user can see the gate and operate controls but cannot touch the gate or
gate operator while operating the controls.
• Warning signs must be placed on each side of the gate or in high-visibility areas to alert of automatic gate operations.

13 - INSPECTION AND OPERATION
14 - EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
Proper inspection of all equipment is required to ensure continuous
functionality, safety and to ensure reliable operation in all weather
conditions. Inspect electrical assemblies and wiring installations for
damage, general condition, and proper functioning to ensure the
continued satisfactory operation of the gate operating system. Adjust,
repair, overhaul, and test gate operating system in accordance with
the recommendations and procedures in the gate operator system
and/or component manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Replace components of the gate operating system that are damaged
or defective with identical parts, with manufacturer’s approved
equipment, or its equivalent to the original in operating characteristics,
mechanical strength, and environmental specications. A partial list
of suggested problems to look for and checks to be performed are
listed below:
13.1 Damaged, discolored, or overheated equipment, connections,
wiring, bearing caps and installations.
13.2 Excessive heat or discoloration at high current carrying
connections. (look for bluing or heat affected metal).
13.3 Misalignment of electrically driven equipment. (Causes strain
on pulley assemblies and bearings).
13.4 Poor electrical bonding (broken, disconnected or corroded
bonding strap) and grounding, including evidence of
corrosion.
13.5 Dirty equipment and connections. Clean equipment and
connections.
13.6 Improper, broken, inadequately supported equipment, wiring
and conduit, loose connections of terminals, and loose
ferrules.
13.7 Poor mechanical or weld joints. Broken welds.
13.8 Condition of circuit breaker and fuses. Ensure that they are of
the correct type and amperage.
13.9 Insufcient clearance between exposed current carrying
parts and ground or poor insulation of exposed terminals.
All exposed connections must be covered (prevent arcing
between exposed parts, and electrical shock).
13.10 Broken or missing wire, connectors, etc.
13.11 Operational check of electrically operated equipment such
as motors, inverters, generators, batteries, lights, protective
devices, etc. Ensure proper functionality of all systems during
inspections.
13.12 Ensure safety placards and warning signs are present as
specied within this document. Ensure proper functionality
of all safety devices as specied. Non-functioning or
malfunctioning safety devices should be replaced immediately.
The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow
access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.
During normal powered operation, emergency vehicles access the
gate by use of the emergency vehicle access device installed on
your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community
is dependent on your city codes. These devices may include (but
are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes, Click-2-Enter radio
receivers, strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc.
Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped
with a back-up power system. In the event of a primary (AC) power
failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead
batteries for example), the system must have a release system to
allow the gate to be manually operated. The release device must be
accessible from either side of the gate and must be present so that
emergency personnel can gain access through the gate under this
condition.
If applicable, this system is equipped with a manual release system
that will allow the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power
outage or equipment failure.
NOTE: Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an
operator attached to it until you have veried that power to the
operator has been shut-off.
The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow
access to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.
In the event of a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device
may not be functional because the gate operator is not powered.
NOTE: DC powered back-up systems are optional and your gate
system may or may not be equipped with one. Check with your
installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up
power system.
For manual fail-safe gate operation, turn power to the operator OFF.
If a backup power system is in use, be sure that this power is turned
OFF also or disconnected. Once power is OFF, the gate can be
manually operated by engaging the manual release level.

barrière de sorte que personne ne puisse entrer
en contact avec la barrière pour les véhicules sur
l’ensemble de sa trajectoire
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.
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 or pressure relief valve to
compensate for a damaged gate.
Pour réduire les risques de coincement lors de
l’ouverture et de la fermeture, la barrière doit
