Slide Gate Requirements
This operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
access opening. For pedestrian access in the vicinity of an automated vehicular gate, separate pedestrian access shall be
provided or available. The pedestrian access shall be in a location such that a pedestrian shall not come in contact with a
moving vehicular gate access gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. A pedestrian gate shall not be
incorporated into an automated vehicular gate panel.
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are
guarded or screened from the bottom of the
gate to a minimum of six (6) feet (1.83 m) above the
ground to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter
sphere from passing through the openings anywhere
in the gate and in that portion of the adjacent fence
that the gate covers in the open position.
Note:
A filler post or barrier
may need to be installed in the
gap area to reduce the distance
to 2 1/4 inches
or less
.
Install a contact sensor in this
area for safety.
(See
on next page and page 26).
A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to
the roadway, between a fixed stationary object
nearest the roadway (such as a gate support post)
and the gate frame when the gate is in either the
fully open position or the fully closed position, shall
not exceed 2 1/4 inch (57.2 mm).
