g) The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the
operator to start.
h) A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
i) For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:
1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of application,
2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is
still moving, and
3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the
perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
j) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor:
1) One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading
edge, trailing edge, and postmounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and
the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-
use conditions.
6) One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the
bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6 inches (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or
more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.
7) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury or death:
ATTENTION: pour réduire le risque de dommages ou mort:
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.
