IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Secondary Means of Protection Against
Entrapment
As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A..), automatic gate openers shall have an inherent entrapment
sensing system, and shall have
provisions for
,
or be supplied with
, at least one independent secondary means to protect
against entrapment. The GTO/PRO® 2002XL utilizes
Type A
, an inherent
(i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as
the
primary
type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 2002XL has
provisions for
the connection of
Type
B2
protection to be used as the
secondary
type of entrapment protection, if desired.
. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (5.8.4 [i]):
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and
outside of a vehicular swing gate system.
B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the
sensor and the gate opener is not subjected to mechanical damage.
C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate opener 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.
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GTO/PRO® 2002XL Automatic Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the
gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these openers are equipped with an
audio entrapment
alarm
which will activate if the unit obstructs
twice
while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for
a period of 5 minutes, or until the opener receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source
(e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the
power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as
transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.
