IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the gate operator only when:
a) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate
(refer to page 5),
b) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate
to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm)
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 GUARDED, AND
d) 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. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure
relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
5. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view
of the gate area when the gate is moving AND AWAY FROM THE GATE

Audible Alarm Reset Switch Installation
Manual Reset for the Audible Alarm
UL325 standard requires an audible alarm to go off after two consecutive events
detected by the primary entrapment protection of the gate operator (obstruction sensor).
The audible alarm will continue to sound for 5 minutes or until a stop command
gets actuated.
The Stop command can be actuated in two different forms:
1. Using the Built in Stop switch on the Control Box; or
2. Using an External Stop button within the sight of the gate, away from moving
parts of the gate and out of reach of children.
3. 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 must have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
4. The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate.
