27. Installation handover
Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is important for the
installer to explain the operation and safety requirements of the system.
NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE AN AUTOMATED
GATE!
Even if the user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how to SAFELY operate
it. Make sure that the user fully understands the following safety requirements before
finally handing over the site.
The following needs to be understood by the user:
How to operate the manual release mechanism.
(Show them how by
demonstration)
How the obstruction detection and all other safety features work.
(Show them how
by demonstration)
All the features and benefits of the operator, i.e. safety beams, ChronoGuard, etc.
All the safety considerations associated with operating an automated gate.
The user should be able to pass this knowledge on to all other users of the
automated system and must be made aware of this responsibility
Do not activate the gate operator unless you can see it and
can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets,
or other obstructions
NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. Always
keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of
travel
NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE GATE
CONTROLS, and do not allow children or pets near the gate area
Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas
where fingers or hands could be pinched
Secure all easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prevent
unauthorized use of the gate
Keep the automated gate system properly maintained, and ensure
that all working areas are free of debris and other objects that could
affect the gate operation and safety
On a monthly basis, check the obstruction detection system
and safety devices for correct operation
