6.1. General Consideration for the Installation
Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges
and Safety Beams (i5 or Photon), for additional protection against entrapment or
other mechanical risks.
Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation.
Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the
required open position (see Figure 6).
If the swing gate leaf is longer than 3 metres, ensure that an electric lock can be
fitted.
For security reasons, never fit an operator on the outside of the gate, where the
public has access to it (refer to the instructions for an Outward-opening swing gate).
Never run an operator directly off the 12V battery.
Install the gate operator only if:
•
It will not pose a hazard to the public
• There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
•
The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed
•
The gate mass, leaf width, wind loading and application is within the operator
specifications
•
The gate is in good working order, meaning:
•
that it swings freely;
•
does not move on its own if left in any position;
•
each gate leaf is strong and rigid;
• Once installed, there is sufficient clearance between moving parts during operation of
the gate to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or entrapment
• It is recommended that Pushbuttons and Keyswitches, if fitted, be positioned in such
a way that the gate is in line of sight of the user
