There are two kinds of interlocks that can be used on sliding gates depending on application and/or
local codes. Determine which style you have before proceeding.
SOLENOID INTERLOCK
WARNING!!! GATES MUST NOT OPEN WHEN THE LIFT IS IN OPERATION OR
WHEN THE PLATFORM IS NOT PRESENT.
SHOULD THIS CONDITION EXIST, THE INTERLOCK IS NOT
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY DUE TO INCORRECT INSTALLATION
OR DAMAGE. THIS CONDITION MUST BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION!!! ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN, AND OPERATION MUST BE VERIFIED.
The solenoid interlock can be used on single panel slide gates. Installation of the interlock and the gate
status switch are to be accomplished after the gate has been erected and secured in position. The
following instructions are for both left and right hand lock single panel gates.
All solenoid interlocks must be fail secure, that is, in the event of a power failure, the gate must
remain locked until power is restored and the lift platform is at the same level as the gate.
1. After checking the gate for proper operation, install the interlock with it’s mounting bracket to the
mounting plate, Located on the right or left gate post depending on the lock side.( See layout
