4 - INSTALLATION NOTES

• A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side

of the gate where easily visible.

• Test all features for proper functions before placing the automatic vehicular

gate opener into service.

• Demonstrate the basic functions and safety features of the gate system to

owners/end users/general contractors, including how to turn off power and

how to operate the manual release feature.

• Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and

maintenance instructions with end user.

• Explain to the owners/users the importance of a service contract that

includes a routine testing of the entire system including the entrapment

protection devices, and explain the need for the owners to insure that this

testing is performed routinely.

• Offer the owner/end user a maintenance contract, or contact them regularly

to offer maintenance.

• See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of

application.

4.1 - Follow Instructions

Always follow all instructions included in this manual to ensure safety and the

longevity of the operator.

4.2 - Intended usage

THIS CIRCUIT BOARD IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH VEHICULAR SWING

AND SLIDE GATES ONLY.

4.3 - Warnings, cautions and notes

4.3.1 Gate terms “system, “gate operator”, “gate system”, and “gate

operator system” for these warnings, cautions, and notes is intended

to cover the gate controller, gate controller software, the gate actuator,

and all safety accessories included within a typical installation.

4.3.2 Gate system designers, installers and users must take into

consideration the inherent hazards associated with each installation,

since no two installations will be exactly alike.

4.3.3 Improperly designed, constructed, installed or maintained systems

can and may introduce hazards which may or may not be readily seen

or identied by users, bystanders, installers or inspectors

4.3.3 Improperly designed, constructed, installed or maintained systems

can and may introduce hazards which may or may not be readily seen

or identied by users, bystanders, installers or inspectors

4.3.4 All pinch points must be guarded or eliminated.

4.3.5 Only install this gate system opener in appropriate manners in which

the operation is safe and secure.

4.3.6 A gate operator exerts a great amount of force in order to move

the gate system in normal operation, therefore appropriate safety

sensors, measures, notices and appropriate safety features must be

incorporated in all installations.

4.3.7 The gate must be installed correctly and no binding or resistance

should be present throughout its movement in either direction.

4.3.8 The gate system must be installed in an area and in such a manner

in which the gate has sufcient clearance to open, close and

move without striking or contacting any structures and/or other

obstructions.

4.3.9 The gate system is designed for vehicular trafc only, and should

never, under any situation be used for pedestrian trafc

4.3.10 Pedestrian prohibited signs, warning signs or other suitable measures

must be used at minimum, to warn pedestrians to stay away from,

and to not use this system under any circumstances.

4.3.11 Pedestrians should be encouraged to use a pedestrian entry/exit only.

4.3.12 Pedestrians should never cross the path of a moving gate. The

sensors are designed to prevent contact with a vehicle and are

not necessarily capable of preventing contact with a pedestrian.

Care should be taken to prevent pedestrian usage under any

circumstances.

4.3.13 One or more non-contact sensors must be used in any situation or

area where entrapment may have the possibility of occurring.

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

the appropriate gate type listed, refer to ASTM F2200 for additional

gate types.

4.3.15 Any existing manual gate latches shall be removed or disabled when

an automatic gate system is installed. Use only mag locks controlled

by the system

3.3 - Gate system safety devices

Automatic gate operators are designed to move a heavy steel gate. Great

amounts of force are sometimes used to move these heavy systems. The

automatic gate system may cause signicant damage or injury if the path of

the gate is obstructed. All sensors, safety devices and warning notices must

be in place and operable in order for this system to operate properly. It is the

installer’s responsibility to install this system properly and to ensure its correct

and safe operation.

3.4 - Infrared beams and warning signs

Infrared beams are used to inform the control board that an obstruction is

present. Safety devices must be installed properly and inspected periodically

to ensure continued reliability and safety. Safety devices, safety sensors,

warning signs and notices of moving equipment danger must be installed

and readily visible by all paths of approach to the gate system. Failure to post

warnings could result in loss of life, damage or physical injury.

3.5 - Establish the location

The installer of this system needs to establish the location of the opener in

accordance with instructions contained within this manual. A typical layout

is provided at the end of this manual with a nominal basic drawing. It is the

installer’s responsibility to ensure that the opener is installed in such a fashion

so as to prevent binding, pinching or improper articulation of the system

throughout its actuation cycle.

3.6 - Read and follow all instructions

3.7 - Keep children away

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

away from children.

3.8 - Test the gate system

The gate must reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop 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. Test force and correct

functionality for photo-eyes and other safety devices at least every 6 months.

ONLY USE the MANUAL RELEASE when the gate is not moving or when the

unit fails or in case of power outage.

• Turn the power to the gate controller OFF AND REMOVE BATTERIES

before using the emergency release.

3.9 - Keep gates properly maintained

Have only a qualied service person make repairs. Unqualied service

technicians are not recommended.

Before installing and/or operating the gate opener, installers and/or users

should do the following:

• Conrm the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the application.

• Conrm the gate is designed and built according to current applicable

published industry standards.

• Conrm all appropriate features and accessory devices are being

incorporated, including both primary and secondary entrapment protection

devices.

• Make sure the gate works freely before installing the operator.

• Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installing the

operator.

• Adjust the FORCE device to the minimum force setting that allows reliable

gate operation.

• Install operator inside fence line (DO NOT install operator on public side of

fence line).

• Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

• Install a proper electrical ground to a gate operator.

• Install keypad controls where users cannot touch, or reach through gate

while operating controls, which is a minimum of 8 feet from the gate.

• Install controls where user has full view of gate operation.

• Install all warning signs on both sides of the gate to warn persons in

the area of potential hazards associated with automatic vehicular gate

operation.
