Site Preparation
Check the national and local building codes
BEFORE
installation. Refer also to the
Site Planning Safety Checklist
in the Appendix.
Conduit and Concrete Pad
Trench and install conduit. Before trenching, contact underground
utility locating companies. Conduit must be UL approved for low
and high voltage. Consider the operator placement BEFORE
installing the pad or post.
Concrete Pads
Safety
Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any entrapment or
safety conditions encountered in your gate application. Install a warning sign
(two provided) on the inside and outside of the property, where easily visible.
Warning Sign
Gate
Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200
standards (refer to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator
(refer to specifications).
SAFETY CATCH ROLLERS
Install catch rollers with safety covers
on the side of a post or wall with a
minimal distance of half an inch
between the rollers and gate
DO NOT use a gate catch post.
Because the coasting distance may
vary due to changes in temperature, it
is NOT recommended to install a
catch post in front of the gate's path.
To do so will cause the gate to hit the
post in certain instances.
Additional Accessories
The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing the
gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or longer. Vehicle loops are
not required but are recommended. Before installing your Access Control
Device(s) be sure to complete a site survey and determine the best device for
your site needs.
