IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of 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 people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non­contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate
hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Changes Coming to UL 325 for Gate Operators

Starting on Jan. 12, 2016, new UL 325 changes take effect, bringing a series of new mandates for the
gate operator industry. Here’s a quick guide to the key modifications.

Entrapment-Protection Devices. Gate operators are required to have a minimum of two

1.

independent means of entrapment protection where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. A
manufacturer can use two inherent-type systems, two external-type systems, or an inherent and an
external system to meet the requirement. However, the same type of device cannot be used for both
means of protection.

2.

Monitoring Required. An external non-contact sensor or contact sensor may be used as a means of
entrapment protection. However, the sensor must be monitored once every cycle for (1) the correct
connection to the operator and (2) the correct operation of the sensor.
If the device is not present, not functioning, or is shorted, then the gate operator can only be operated
by constant pressure on the control device. Portable wireless controls will not function in this case.

3.

Entrapment Risk Identification. As in the past, it’s up to the installer to examine the installation and
determine where a risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. Manufacturers are required to provide
instructions for the placement of external devices, but they give only examples of suggested
entrapment protection in their installation manuals. If the installer identifies a risk of entrapment or
obstruction, at least two independent means of entrapment protection are required.

Terminology Change. The terms “primary” and “secondary” have been removed in the description of

4.

entrapment protection devices. This was done to emphasize that all entrapment protection devices
are equally important.

5.

The End of Type E. Type E (audible alarm) devices can no longer be used for entrapment protection.
This change was made because the Type E device is really a warning device, not an entrapment­protection device. Also, all gate operator classes are now required to have an audio alarm that sounds
when two successive obstructions are encountered via a contact-type system.

Access Control Location for Emergency Use. An exception has been added in the manufacturer’s

6.

instructional requirements for the location of controls that operate the gate.
The instructional requirements state that these controls must be at least 6' away from any moving part
of the gate. In the new exception, “Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized
personnel (e.g., fire, police, EMS) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.”

Barrier-Arm Operator Exception. An exception has changed for barrier-arm gate operators

7.

requiring entrapment protection. The previous exception stated that a barrier-arm operator did not
require entrapment protection if the arm did not move toward a rigid object closer than 2'. The distance
has been reduced to 16" so it more closely aligns with the industry-defined entrapment protection
provisions in ASTM F2200.

Gate Operator Class II and Class III Definitions. The definitions for installation classes for gate

8.

operators were modified. Class II now includes commercial locations accessible to the general public.
Class III was refined to specify industrial locations not accessible to the general public. These
changes, while seemingly minor, may affect which gate operator is suitable for a particular installation
location.

1. GATE ARRANGEMENT

You must do some checks on the gate to see if fitting a FIELD
system is possible:

A. (Make sure that) the fixed and moving parts of the gate are
strong and non-deformable;
B. the weight of each gate leaf must not exceed 1322,8 Lbs
(Field Oil/Field Oil 24V) ;
C. the hinges and general structure must be in good condition
and the gate must move smoothly throughout its travel;
D. the upper hinge alone is sufficient to install the unit; those
which are unnecessary can be eliminated (the lower and that
in the middle if exists);
E. in case of leaf length superior of 70,9 inches and 330,7Lbs
of weight, it is recommended to fix to the ground a mechanical
stop in closing (Fig. 3).
