UL325 Entrapment Protection Requirements
Definitions
ENTRAPMENT:
The condition when a person is caught or held in a
position that increases the risk of injury.
SLIDE GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE:
An entrapment zone exists if at any
point during travel, the gap between the gate and any opposing fixed
edge or surface such as posts, walls, pillars, columns or the operator
itself, is less than 16" (406 mm) in a location up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) above
grade.
INDEPENDENT MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE:
An
entrapment protection device is independent if it is a different type
(photoelectric sensors, edge device, inherent protection device) from the
other devices in the same entrapment zone.
Use the
Site Planning Safety Checklist
in the appendix to identify
entrapment zones found in your installation.
Requirements
l
A
minimum of two
independent monitored entrapment protection
devices are required to be installed at each entrapment zone.
l
It is the responsibility of the installer to install external monitored
entrapment protection devices for
each entrapment zone
.
l
The operator will only operate with a
minimum of two
independent
monitored entrapment protection devices installed in each direction;
two in the open direction and two in the closed direction.
This operator has an inherent entrapment protection device built-in.
The installer MUST provide one additional entrapment protection
device for each entrapment zone.
Acceptable entrapment protection device types include:
l
Inherent (built into the operator)
l
LiftMaster monitored external photoelectric sensors, see page 50 for
acceptable sensors.
l
LiftMaster monitored external edge sensors, see page 50 for
acceptable sensors.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of INJURY or DEATH:
l
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
l
NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
l
ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
l
Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on
contact with an object or reverse when an object activates the
noncontact sensors. After adjusting the speed, force, or the limit
of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the
gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
l
Use the manual release ONLY when the gate is not moving.
l
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read this manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
l
The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
l
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
