3 - SAFETY AND CAUTIONS

WARNING

2 - GATE INFORMATION

• Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be

installed with this gate operator to prevent the gate from closing on vehicular

trafc

• The speed limit for vehicular trafc through the gate area is 5 MPH. Install

speed bumps and signs to keep vehicular trafc from speeding through the

gate area. Failure to adhere to posted speed limits can result in damage to

the gate, operator, and to the vehicle.

• Be sure that all residents are familiar with the proper use of the gate and

gate operator. Be sure that all residents are familiar with the possible hazards

associated with the gate system.

• Be sure that all warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of the

gate in an area where they are fully visible to trafc

• It is your responsibility to periodically check all reversing devices. If any of

these devices are observed to function improperly, remove the operator from

service immediately and contact your installing or servicing dealer.

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule of one inspection per every

180 days of use.

• Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with any

gate-operating device.

• Be sure that all activating devices are installed a minimum distance of 8 feet

away from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person cannot

touch the gate or gate operator while using the activating device. If activating

devices are installed in violation of these restrictions, immediately remove the

gate operator from service and contact your installing dealer.

• To remove the gate operator from service, operate the gate to the full open

position, shut off power to the operator at the service panel (if applicable), and

disconnect batteries.

2.1 - ASTM F2200

Gates shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions given for the

appropriate gate type listed, refer to ASTM F2200 for additional gate types.

Protrusions shall not be permitted on any gate, refer to ASTM F2200 for

exceptions, if any.

Any non-automated gate that is to be automated in any manner should be

upgraded to conform to the provisions contained within the provisions of this

document and ASTM F2200 as applicable.

2.2 - Gate latches

In association with this gate controller and these swing gate operators, at

no time should manual gate latches or locks be used. The forces applied

to a swing gate operator could be in excess of those forces which are safe

for bystanders. Should unnecessary forces be applied to a gate system

which is in the locked position, the catastrophic failure of the gate or locking

mechanism could result in substantial damage, extensive physical injury and

or death.

2.3 - Specic applications

This swing gate operators are intended for those locations where vehicle trafc

is intended to be controlled through the use of an entryway obstruction (gate).

The gate system should be made of closed material types which prevent any

body part from entering, becoming entangled or otherwise entering the gate

in any manner. If the gate is not fully closed off from access, the opening or

closing of the gate system may result in severe damage, injury or death.

2.4 - Swing and slide gates

Swing and slide gates are designed to move across an entry control point to

prevent or allow controlled access by authorized persons or equipment. Swing

or slide gate systems are not necessarily completely autonomous systems,

and require regular maintenance and inspection on a periodic schedule.

Although with certain safety devices in place the gate system could operate

as a completely independent system free from human interaction for a dened

period of time, human inspection and testing is required to ensure longevity

and safe operation over long periods of time.

2.5 - General requirements

• Safety and security are obviously a number one priority for both the

manufacturer and the end user. As a result this manual has been written

to make all persons fully aware of the responsibilities required to ensure

constant safety, security and longevity are acquired throughout the life of

the system.

• The manufacturer of this swing gate system has performed countless

hours of testing, analysis and statistical control analysis to ensure that this

operator performs its intended function for extended periods of time. The

installer should ensure and verify that all required safety devices are installed

correctly and in a manner consistent with the requirements of this manual.

Additionally, all devices, security devices, safety devices, sensors and other

afliated attachments are installed in a robust manner that will prevent their

accidental damage, removal or incidental tampering.

• A basic requirement for this system to operate correctly is that at any time

a sensor is triggered, covered, disconnected or otherwise tampered with,

that the entire system ceases to function. If any part of the gate safety

system is removed or triggered, an immediate safety action by the gate

operator is expected (retraction or stoppage). If the gate safety system is

not functional, or fails to operate within these guidelines, the gate should be

immediately removed from service until repairs can be made.

• Any gate system that is open or has slats, bars or other material which

allows an individual to stick their hands, head, or feet through the material,

must be converted or covered in such a manner so as to prevent such

future actions. Application of materials, and how to modify the gate system

is up to the end user or installer, however care should be taken to prevent

such human interaction into the moving gate system. No entry into the

gate is ever authorized and should be prevented by whatever measures are

required for that specic installation. Care should always be used during

installation!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH READ AND

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote

control away from children.

• Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD

CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

• Test the operator periodically. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a

rigid object or stop or reverse when an object activates the non-contact

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.

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

• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have

a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware.

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

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

3.1 - Properly installed safety devices

Safety devices are used to sense, register and prevent damage to vehicular

trafc which may block the path of the gate system. If properly installed and

inspected for functionality within the prescribed maintenance procedures, the

safety devices should prevent the gate system from inicting harm or damage

as a result of its opening and closing action.

3.2 - Safety signs, notices to personnel warning signs

Safety signs must alert all who may enter the gate system area, as to the

danger posed by moving equipment. Safety features must be installed

and work correctly, such as the infrared beam. This safety device prevents

serious injury or death as a result of the gate closing while an object or

person blocks the gate operating pathway. An optional ashing lamp that

is activated anytime the gate is moving should be added in addition to the

aforementioned safety features.
