6.1. General Considerations 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 2.5 metres, ensure that an electric lock can be fitted
1
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, allowable wind loading and application is within the operator
specifications (refer to the specification tables)
• 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 when opening and
closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment
• Pushbuttons or Keyswitches, when required, must be positioned so that the gate is in line
of sight of the operator
1. Electric locks are recommend for most swing gate installations where greater security and/or resistance to strong winds is
required
