6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the product manuals. Have a qualified service person make
repairs to gate hardware and replace batteries in accessory or entrapment sensory devices on a regular
basis.
7. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance. Make sure a
separate walk-through entrance is nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is designated and signs
direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate.
8. Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate or barrier gate/operator so they
are clearly visible from both the secure and public sides. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325
compliance.
Safety - Additional Installer Responsibility
• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. For all gate operators other than Crash-rated, refer to Identifying
Gate Operator Category and Usage Class in the product manual. Install the operator only when the gate operator
class is correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage label on
the junction box.
• Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards. Screen or
enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards which include:
Š All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate’s base support to a minimum height of
6 feet (183 cm) above the ground. This must prevent a sphere of 2¼-inches (57mm) in diameter from passing
through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the gate’s open position.
Š Physical stops must exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and, for slide gates,
guard posts must be installed to prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.
• Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate or barrier gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and
moves freely. A gate or barrier gate that moves easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play
no part in the opening or closing of a slide gate.
• Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.
• Reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path by making sure the gate is installed in a location
which ensures the required clearance between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or closing. On slide
gates, minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
• Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate. Note that swing gates cannot open into public
areas.
• Install external entrapment protection sensors so pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both directions of
gate travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. On hydraulic gates, set the pressure relief valve at the lowest
allowable setting that will reliably operate the gate. The pressure relief valve controls the applied force of the opera-
tor and the sensitivity of the inherent entrapment sensor (IES). Note that no IES exists in the StrongArm operator or
Crash products.
• Never disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to move.
• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate must:
Š Be located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user will have a
clear view of the gate.
Š Be mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm) of the gate, to prevent users from touching or accessing the gate while
operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching through or around the gate can be
seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
Š Incorporate a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
Š Connect radio and other remote access (non-resetting controls) to the RADIO OPTIONS terminal.
