Important Safety Information
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of
this system need to read and understand this
installation manual and the safety instructions
supplied with other components of the gate system.
The owner and/or operator of the gate should retain
this information.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury or death
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
Never let children operate or play with
gate controls. Keep the remote control
away from children.
3.
Always keep people and objects away
from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD
CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING
GATE.
4.
Test the gate operator monthly. The gate
MUST reverse on contact with a rigid
object or stop when an object activates
the non-contact sensors. After adjusting
the 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.
5.
Use the emergency release only when
the gate is not moving.
6.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY
MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s
manual. Have a qualified service person
make repairs to gate hardware.
7.
The entrance is for vehicles only.
Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When installing the photo-beams supplied with this unit
two things need to be considered.
1.
Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips
the sensor while the gate is in motion.
2.
One or more photobeams shall be located where
the risk of entrapment exists, such as the
perimeter reachable by the moving gate leaf.
Gate Design
1.
A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is important
that you locate the gate far enough away from the
road to eliminate the potential of traffic getting
backed up. This distance is affected by the size of
the gate, how often it is used, and how fast the gate
operates.
2.
The operator you choose to install on your gate must
be designed for the type and size of your gate and
for the frequency with which you use the operator.
3.
Your gate must be properly installed and must work
freely in both directions before the automatic
operator is installed.
4.
An automatic operator should be installed on the
inside of the property/fence line. Do not install the
operator on the public side of the property/fence
line.
5.
Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate system.
Prevent such inappropriate use by installing separate
gates for pedestrians.
6.
Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate are poten-
tially hazardous and must be eliminated or guarded.
7.
Outward swinging gates with automatic operators
should not open into a public area.
8.
The operating controls for an automatic gate must be
secured to prevent the unauthorized use of those
controls.
9.
The controls for an automatic gate should be located
far enough from the gate so that a user cannot
accidentally touch the gate when operating the
controls.
10.
An automatic gate operator should not be installed
on a gate if people can reach or extend their arms or
legs through the gate. Such gates should be guarded
or screened to prevent such access.
Installation
1.
If you have any question about the safety of the gate
operating system, do not install this operator.
Consult the operator manufacturer.
2.
The condition of the gate structure itself directly
affects the reliability and safety of the gate operator.
3.
Only qualified personnel should install this
equipment. Failure to meet this requirement could
cause severe injury and/or death, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
