The Allstar HDSLG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide
convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is
ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected
and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the
installation and testing of the complete gate system. The HDSLG has
been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is certified
to comply with UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by the UL
symbol on the name plate.
Because the HDSLG (as well as gate operators sold by other
manufactures) is designed to start and move gates weighing as much as
1200 pounds, or more,---the HDSLG is capable of producing high
levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate system that
designers, installers and users be aware of the hazards that may be
associated with the
IMPROPER
design, installation and use of
vehicular gate systems and gate operators.
The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate
operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly
designed system will include all applicable safety devices.
As the designer and installer
of the
GATE SYSTEM
, you must
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also
have the primary responsibility of insuring that
ALL
possible
operational hazards have been considered and eliminated.
YOU
MUST ADVISE AND WARN
the purchaser and the ultimate user of
ANY HAZARDS
that you have not been able to eliminate.
The HDSLG has several features that can help reduce the hazards
of your gate system.
The Allstar HDSLG has a built-in "overload detector" that can help
reduce the hazards of your gate system. This device, however, must not
be considered as the primary obstruction sensing system. Consider all
available options (electric leading edges, photoelectric sensors,
protective screen mesh, etc) to eliminate hazards in your gate system
design.
The HDSLG built-in overload detector will activate if there is an abrupt
increase in motor current above that normally required to move the
gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS AN ADJUSTABLE
SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF
INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE TESTED
PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE
FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE SENSITIVE THIS
SETTING CAN BE MADE. See Page 17.
ADVISE THE PURCHASER TO CHECK THE SENSITIVITY
OF THE OVERLOAD PERIODICALLY AND RECORD THE DATE
TESTED ON THE LOG PROVIDED BELOW (See Figure 1).
The HDSLG has a maximum motor current trip mechanism. If the
motor current is maintained at or near maximum for a period of
approximately two seconds the power will be turned off to the motor.
(This situation could occur if the gate becomes jammed.)
The HDSLG has a Maximum Run Timer. If the gate is activated and
no other command is given or an end limit (open or close) is not
reached in approximately 45 seconds, the operator will be turned off.
(See Page 19)
The HDSLG has an auxiliary “alarm” relay that can be used to give a
WARNING when the gate is opening or closing or if the OVERLOAD
has been activated. TO USE THIS ALARM FEATURE WILL
REQUIRE THAT THE INSTALLER PROVIDE THE ALARM
MECHANISM AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER FOR THE
ALARM. See Page 17.
