325 INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION
1.
Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4’ (1.2m) above the ground to
prevent a 2-1/4” (6cm) 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.
c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian
access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate
during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
3. 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.
4. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
5. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from
reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.
6. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the
operator to start.
7. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SGNS (supplied with the gate operator) shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
8. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application.
b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.
c. 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.
9. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge and
post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
b. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
c. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subject to mechanical damage.
d. A wireless contact sensor such as the 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. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing
gate is greater than 6” (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom
edge.
f. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can cause damage to persons, animals or property.
Automation should be installed on a gate which is moving freely. Any issue with the smooth opening of closing of a gate will not be corrected by
adding automation.
Scrap packing materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene etc.) according to the provisions set out by current standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene bags out of
children’s reach.
Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
This product was exclusively designed and manufactured for the use specified in the present documentation. Any other use not specified in this
documentation could damage the product and be dangerous.
The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from improper use of the product, or use which is different from that expected and
specified in the present documentation.
Do not install the product in explosive atmosphere.
The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from failure to observe Good Technical Practice when constructing closing structures
(door, gates etc.), as well as from any deformation, which might occur during use.
Follow and comply with national and/or local electrical codes when performing any electrical installation.
Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
Fit all the safety devices (photo cells, electric edges etc.) which are needed to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing, conveying and
shearing, according to and in compliance with the applicable directives and technical standards.
It is recommended to position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where it can be easily seen for additional safety.
The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation safety and correct operation when other manufacturer’s components are used.
Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorized in writing by the Company.
Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the manual opening operation in case of emergency.
Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions is not allowed.
Installation must be carried out using the safety devices and controls prescribed by the UL 325 Standard.
CHECKING INSTALLATION
Before the automated device is finally put into operation, perform the following checks meticulously.
Make sure all components are fastened securely.
