INSTALLATION SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
OR DEATH, READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS!
Proper design is important in your system layout and installation. Reversing/Safety devices
must be used at all available points where injury or property damage may occur. For
protection from injury to persons, use Photo Electric Eye or optional Pressure Sensing Edge
on the leading edge of the gate. Reversing/Safety Loops (Vehicle Detectors) should be
installed in front of and behind the gate to provide a reverse signal or stop signal to the gate
operator. All Reversing/Safety devices should be tested and inspected weekly. If a
Reversing/Safety device appears to not operate correctly, the unit should be disabled until
repair can be made by a properly trained/experienced service company.
As the system designer/installer, you must advise your customer/end user on the correct
usage of the gate operator and the system. In providing the service of design/installation of
the operator and system, you are responsible for proper training of the customer as well as for
the proper SAFE OPERATION. All precautions to eliminate ALL hazards MUST be taken
before the unit can be put into operation. You MUST advise and warn your customer of any
hazards that remain or if they choose not to use any of the recommended reversing/safety
devices in the installation.
•If you did not order a Reversing/Safety Edge (for along the bottom rail of your gate), or an Infra-Red
Modulated Photocell (Reversing/Safety Beam), you will not be in compliance with March 2000 UL 325
Code. Consult your dealer for additional information.
•Pedestrians must use a separate entrance/exit and not the vehicular entrance/exit gate.
•NEVER activate the gate from long distances where visibility of the gate cannot be seen. Anyone
operating the gate should always operate it in a safe manner.
•NEVER allow children or anyone to play on or around the gate at any time.
•DO NOT affix any adhesive material within 30 days of receipt.
•DO NOT attach anything to gate over 4 pounds total weight without consulting the factory re-balancing
instructions.
The gate must remain balanced to ensure safe and reliable operation.
•The gate and operator are designed to work together. Do not attempt to install an unauthorized gate
without factory authorization.
•DO NOT ALLOW any Access Control Devices to be mounted within 6 feet of the moving gate or in such
a way that someone could reach their hand or arm through to gate to activate it.
