1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are
relying on your design to provide a safe installation.
2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection
system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system
installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system.
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare,
be sure the system is placed far enough away from the road to eliminate traffic
backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage levels, and gate cycle/speed
must be considered to eliminate potential traffic hazards.
4. Swing gates have two potential entrapment zones you must avoid. Make sure they
are protected as shown in the following diagram (Figure 1).
5. Design the gate system so a person
cannot reach over, under, around,
or through the gate to operate any
controls. Never place controls on the
gate operator itself.
THIS GATE SYSTEM IS FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY. A
SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE MUST BE PROVIDED.
WARNING
SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Pedestrians should
keep clear of path
of gate, particularly
in the area before
fully closed.
• The area of the gate
arm and linkage
must be avoided
as it can create an
entrapment.
ENTRAPMENT ZONE
ENTRAPMENT ZONE
HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC EDGE, ON BOTTOM
OUTSIDE EDGE OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE
WHILE CLOSING (REQUIRED).
ELECTRIC EDGE, ON VERTICAL OUTSIDE
EDGE OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE
WHILE CLOSING (RECOMMENDED).
HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC EDGE, ON INSIDE
BOTTOM OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE WHILE
OPENING (RECOMMENDED).

The illustrations and descriptive captions
provide precautions to help eliminate
injuries or fatalities. Familiarize yourself
with them when designing the total system.
