• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Important Installation Instructions

1. Install the gate operator only when the following conditions have been met:

• The operator is appropriate for the type and usage class of the gate.

• All openings of a horizontal slide gate have been guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.25 m) above the ground to prevent a 2.25 inch (55 mm) diameter sphere from passing through openings anywhere in the gate or through that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers when in the open position.

• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.

• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

2. The operator is intended for installation on gates used by vehicles only. Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.

3. To reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and closing, the gate must be installed in a location that allows adequate clearance between the gate and adjacent structures. Swinging gates shall not open outward into public access areas.

4. Before installing the gate operator, ensure that the gate has been properly installed and that it swings freely in both directions. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.

5. User controls must be installed at least 6 feet (1.83 m) away from any moving part of the gate and located where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls located outdoors or those that are easily accessible shall have security features to prevent unauthorized use.

6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located within line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

7. All warning signs and placards must be installed and easily seen within visible proximity of the gate. A minimum of one warning sign shall be installed on each side of the gate.

Entrapment Protection

Internal Entrapment Prevention:

This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing device. The system will sense an obstruction in both the open and close cycles, and will reverse the direction of the gate travel upon encountering an obstruction. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, a warning alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation. This is called a “Hard Shutdown”. Please read and follow the “Shutdown Conditions” section of this manual for more directions.

External Entrapment Prevention:

Non-contact and/or contact sensors must be installed to provide external entrapment prevention in accordance with UL325 section

3.1. Use only UL325 compliant devices and low voltage (24V) devices. Carefully follow the installation manual for the UL325 device used for installation, usage, and maintenance.

Non-Contact Sensors (Photo Beams):

Non-contact sensors generally are photoelectric cells or like devices. For gate operators utilizing non-contact sensors: Refer to the diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors. Use care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where a risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier. Use caution when installing non-contact sensors since some devices only cover a select area. For example, a photo beam will not cover the full height of a gate/fence area. Refer to the diagram below.

Contact Sensors (Edge Sensors):

Contact sensors generally are sensing edges or like devices. For gate operators utilizing contact sensors: Refer to the diagram below for placement of contact sensors. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such the leading edge, trailing edge, and posts mounted inside and outside of the vehicular slide gate and motor. Hardwired contact sensors shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to any mechanical damage. Wireless contact sensors such as ones that transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment prevention functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, landscaping or similar obstructions. All wireless contact sensors shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

Bottom Edge

Sensor If Greater

Than 6 Inches

Standard Reverse beams help

prevent the gate from hitting ob-

structions during the close cycle.

CAUTION: This beam only detects

at the installed height.

One or more Edge Sensors shall

be located on the bottom edge of

the gate if the gate travels more

than 6” above ground at any point

of its arc or travel.

One or more Edge Sensors could

be located on the inside and

outside leading edge of the gate.

Wall or Fence

Open beams help protect

areas between the gate and

an adjacent fence or wall.

CAUTION: This beam only

detects at the installed height.
