RESPONSIBILITIES OF INSTALLERS AND TECHNICIANS cont.
• WARNING SIGNS MUST BE PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO THE GATE PANEL IN A HIGHLY VISIBLE
PLACE THAT CAN BE EASILY SEEN FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE GATE.
• A SEPARATE ENTRANCE IS SUPPLIED FOR PEDESTRIANS. THE OPERATOR IS INTENDED FOR
INSTALLATION ONLY FOR GATES USED FOR VEHICLES.
• THE GATE MUST BE INSTALLED IN A LOCATION SO THAT ENOUGH CLEARANCE IS SUPPLIED
BETWEEN THE GATE AND ADJACENT STRUCTURES WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT.
• ALL CONTROLS MUST BE LOCATED AT LEAST 6 FEET AWAY FROM ANY PART OF THE GATE
OPERATOR OR MOVING GATE AT ALL TIMES.
• INTERIOR CONTROL STATIONS SHOULD BE INSTALLED SO THAT THE USER HAS A DIRECT
LINE OF SIGHT TO THE GATE AREA BEING CONTROLLED.
• PHOTOCELLS SHOULD BE INSTALLED WITHIN 5 INCHES FROM THE GATE PANEL AND A
MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 27.5 INCHES.
• A PHOTOCELL IS A SAFETY DEVICE FOR PEDESTRIANS ONLY; VEHICLE DETECTORS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE USED FOR DETECTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
• NO SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD EVER BE BYPASSED, REMOVED OR OMITTED BY THE
INSTALLER/TECHNICIAN. A SIGNED WAIVER DOES NOT NULIFY THE INSTALLER/TECHNICIANS
LIABILITY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS NO SUBSTANCE IN LITIGATION INVOLVING AN
INJURED PARTY WHO DID NOT SIGN THE WAIVER.
• IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE OPERATOR ON A GATE THAT DID NOT HAVE AN OPERATOR ON
IT, THE GATE MUST CONFORM TO THE CURRENT ASTM F 2200 STANDARDS.
• IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE OPERATOR ON A GATE THAT ALREADY HAD AN OPERATOR ON
IT, THE TECHNICIAN/INSTALLER SHOULD ADVISE THE CUSTOMER OF THE UPGRADES THAT
ARE NEEDED TO BRING THE GATE UP TO THE CURRENT ASTM F 2200 STANDARDS.
• WHEN INSTALLING OR WORKING ON A GATE OPERATOR SYSTEM, ALWAYS MAKE SURE
THAT THE AREA AROUND YOU IS SECURE. USE CONES, YELLOW CAUTION TAPE OR WHEN
POSSIBLE, BLOCK OFF THE DRIVEWAY FROM TRAFFIC.
• WHEN NECESSARY, INSTALL SURGE/LIGHTNING SUPPRESSION AND GROUND RODS.
• ALL AREAS THAT ARE AT RISK OF ENTRAPMENT SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY AN ANTI-
ENTRAPMENT DEVICE.
• MAKE SURE TO INSTALL POSITIVE STOPS ON THE FULL OPEN & IF NECESSARY, ON THE FULL
CLOSED.
• ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE TRAINED PROFESSIONAL AND WHAT A CUSTOMER
WANTS SHOULD NEVER SUPERCEDE SAFETY.
