hoW to Use yoUr aUtomatiC Gate operator
before using your automatic Gate
always look to see if there is any
person, pet or other obstruction (ie.Parked vehicle) in the path of the gate.
always wait for the gate to fully open before driving or walking
through
. If the gate begins to close while you are driving through stop the
vehicle, do not attempt to “beat the gate”, this is extremely dangerous.
if the gate is obstructed while moving
it will reverse direction to allow
the obstruction to be freed or if the obstruction prevents the gate from moving
in the first place it will cut off to prevent burn out.
avoid close proximity
to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched or
you can be trapped between two gates, a gate and post or fence. Stay clear of
the path of the gate at all times.
never allow children to play with the gate
or the gate controls, explain
to children the dangers involved. Keep remote controls where children or any
other unauthorized users have no access to them.
if you have a seperate gate for pedestrian entry
please use this if
you are on foot rather than the Automatic Vehicle Gate.
in the event you sell the property,
make sure the new owners have a
copy of these instructions. If you lose the instructions they can be downloaded
from: www.grantsautomation.com.au.
if a photocell is used
this will prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle
If the gate is closing and the photocells light beam is broken, then the gate
will reverse open and remain there for as long as the photocells light beam is
broken. Once the photocell is cleared the gate will close after the auto-close
delay or after its own delay if this option is selected. A photocell doesn’t provide
this level of safety for any person walking through the gate.
if a ground loop vehicle detector
has been installed then any vehicle
approaching the gate from within the property will open the gate automatically
without the use of a remote control or other control device. The gate will then
close automatically once the ground loop and photocells are cleared and close
delay has timed out. Any person walking on the ground loop will NOT open the
gate but a bicycle may do if the ground loop is set up to.
