•
Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate or barrier gate in both directions. Make sure it is level
and moves freely. A gate or barrier gate that moves easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should
play no part in the opening or closing of a slide gate.
•
Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.
•
Reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path by making sure the gate is installed in a location
which ensures the required clearance between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or closing. On
slide gates, minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
•
Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate.
Note that swing gates cannot open into
public areas
.
•
Install external entrapment protection sensors so pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both directions
of gate travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. On hydraulic gates, set the pressure relief valve at the
lowest allowable setting that will reliably operate the gate. The pressure relief valve controls the applied force of
the operator and the sensitivity of the inherent entrapment sensor (IES). Note that no IES exists in the StrongArm.
•
Never disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to move.
•
Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate must:
• Be mounted beyond 6 feet (183 cm) of the gate to prevent users from touching or accessing the gate while
operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching through or around the gate can
be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
• Incorporate a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• Connect radio and other remote access (non-resetting controls) to the RADIO OPTIONS terminal.
• Be located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate access controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of the gate.
NOTE:
An exception for Emergency Access Control devices exists. An EAC device accessible by
authorized personnel only (e.g. fire, police, EMS) may be placed at any location within the line-of-sight.
•
Open and close the gate to confirm that it was properly installed and to ensure monitoring sensors are working
correctly. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Standard of Safety. Have a
qualified technician test the gate monthly.
•
When you complete the installation, demonstrate the safety features and operation of the gate operator to the
end user:
• Clearly explain and demonstrate the consequences of removing or defeating any of the safety features.
• Remove the operator cover(s), and then turn the power on and off.
• Manually release the gate. (Use the manual release only when the gate is NOT moving.)
• Use the Emergency Stop Button. (If an emergency stop button is not available, show the user where the Stop
button is located on the gate operator.)
NOTE:
Gate operator instructions must be given to the owner per UL 325 Standard of Safety.
•
Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business files.
