UIDELINES
:
Before starting any installation, consider the following guidelines:
Install the gate system and gate in accordance with ASTM F220-02: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular
Gate Construction. Install the gate system and gate in accordance with UL325 standards.
Provide spacing between the gate and any structure such as a building, wall or fence to reduce the risk of entrapment in
this area.
Swing gates shall not open into public access areas.
Be sure the gate is properly installed and moves freely. Repair or replace worn or damaged gate hardware before
installing the gate operator.
Add safety devices such as warning signs, photo eyes, and reverse edges to help prevent injuries or death. Reduce all
pinch points and protect all entrapment areas.
If pedestrian traffic will be present, provide a separate pedestrian walk gate clear from the path of the automatic gate.
Loops and loop detectors are required to help prevent the gate from closing on vehicles. Loops do not protect
pedestrian traffic.
Select the proper gate operator for the installation. Consider the usage, capacity, gate size, gate weight, and needed
features and safety accessories.
If proper safety guidelines can not be followed do not install the gate operator.
DO NOT allow children to play
near, on or with the gate, gate
operator, or any of its controls.
