x
Pinch Points:
Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.)
to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3 at left.
Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to minimize the
risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and the roller.
x
DO NOT consider the built-in overload detector as the primary
defense system. Consider all options in the gate system design.
x
DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the LP1000 operator
(detectors, card readers, etc.) until the gate operator and all its
functions are fully tested. Only connect one device at a time and
ensure its proper function(s) before moving on to the next device.
x
DO NOT locate any control device (key switch, switch, key pad,
card reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person
reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any manner.
Locate all control devices a minimum of 10 feet from the gate when
opened or closed.
x
Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security type to
prevent unauthorized use of the system.
x
Install all devices that will open or close the gate in such a manner
that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN THE DEVICE
IS OPERATED.
x
Before activating the "timer to close" option of the LP1000,
ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
DEVICES (operator reversing feature, edges, photocells) ARE
OPERATING and install VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS AND
VEHICLE DETECTORS for protection of user vehicles. Read the
manual for information on the installation of these devices. IF
VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TO
PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON A VEHICLE,
INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.
x
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR THE
BELTS AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed.
Apply power to the operator only when instructed to do so.
x
When the cover of the LP1000 Control Box cover is removed, high
voltage will be exposed. EVEN IF THE RED POWER LIGHT IS
NOT LIGHTED, HIGH VOLTAGE AC MAY STILL BE
PRESENT ON TERMINALS L1 AND L2. NEVER LEAVE THE
INSTALLATION WITH THE CONTROL BOX COVER
REMOVED.
x
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING
SERVICE OF EITHER THE ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL
SYSTEMS.
x
SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with the
LP1000 on the gate (one on the outside and one on the inside) where
they can be seen by persons in the area of the gate to alert them of
automatic gate operation. (If the user refuses to have the warning
signs installed, Allstar recommends that you note this on your
records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 4.
