2 - GATE INFORMATION
2.1 - ASTM F2200
Gates shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions given for the
appropriate gate type listed, refer to ASTM F2200 for additional gate types.
Protrusions shall not be permitted on any gate, refer to ASTM F2200 for
exceptions, if any.
Any non-automated gate that is to be automated in any manner should be
upgraded to conform to the provisions contained within the provisions of this
document and ASTM F2200 as applicable.
2.2 - Gate material
Gate building materials should be substantial and robust enough to sustain
constant usage, This gate opener is manufactured for commercial operations
primarily, and therefore the forces placed upon the gate may be in excess of
those which may be applied to a residential gate operation. In many instanc-
es, tensions, forces and leverages applied in a commercial atmosphere may

As a result of this instance, it is recommended that this gate opener never be
used in conjunction with any gate system not directly intended for constant
industrial or commercial operation.
2.3 - Gate latches
In association with this commercial swing gate operator, at no time should
manual gate latches or locks be used. The forces applied to a commercial
swing gate operator could be in excess of those forces which are safe for
bystanders. Should unnecessary forces be applied to a gate system which
is in the locked position, the catastrophic failure of the gate or locking mech-
anism could result in substantial damage, extensive physical injury and or
death.

This swing gate operator is intended for those locations where commercial

obstruction (gate). The gate system should be made of closed material types
which prevent any body part from entering, becoming entangled or otherwise
entering the gate in any manner. If the gate is not fully closed off from access,
the opening or closing of the gate system may result in severe damage, injury
or death.
2.5 - Swing gates
Swing gates are designed to swing or move horizontally across an entry
control point to prevent or allow controlled access by authorized persons
or equipment. Swing gate systems are not necessarily completely autono-
mous systems, and require regular maintenance and inspection on a periodic
schedule. Although with certain safety devices in place the gate system could
operate as a completely independent system free from human interaction for

longevity and safe operation over long periods of time.

all persons fully aware of the responsibilities required to ensure constant
safety, security and longevity are acquired throughout the life of the system.

this operator performs its intended function for extended periods of time.
The installer should ensure and verify that all required safety devices are
installed correctly and in a manner consistent with the requirements of this
manual. Additionally, all devices, security devices, safety devices, sensors

sensor is tripped, covered, disconnected or otherwise tampered with, that
the entire system ceases to function. If any part of the gate safety system
is removed or tripped, an immediate safety action by the gate operator is
expected (retraction or stoppage). If the gate safety system is not func-
tional, or fails to operate within these guidelines, the gate should be imme-
diately removed from service until repairs can be made.

must be converted or covered in such a manner so as to prevent such
future actions. Application of materials, and how to modify the gate system
is up to the end user or installer, however care should be taken to prevent
such human interaction into the moving gate system. No entry into the
gate is ever authorized and should be prevented by whatever measures are
