5. The End of T pe E.
Type E audible alarm devices can no longer be used for entrapment protection. This change
was made because the Type E device is really a warning device, not an entrapment-protection device. Also, all gate
operator classes are now required to have an audio alarm that sounds when two successive obstructions are
encountered via a contact-type system.
6. Access Control Location for Emergenc Use.
An exception has been added in the manufacturer’s instructional
requirements for the location of controls that operate the gate.
The instructional requirements state that these controls must be at least 6 away from any moving part of the gate. In the
new exception, Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel e.g., fire, police, EMS may be
placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.
7.
arrier-Arm Operator E ception.
An exception has changed for barrier-arm gate operators requiring entrapment
protection. The previous exception stated that a barrier-arm operator did not require entrapment protection if the arm
did not move toward a rigid object closer than 2 . The distance has been reduced to 6 so it more closely aligns with the
industry-defined entrapment protection provisions in ASTM F2200.
8. Gate Operator Class II and Class III Definitions.
The definitions for installation classes for gate operators were
modified. Class II now includes commercial locations
accessible
to the general public. Class III was refined to specify
industrial locations
not accessible
to the general public. These changes, while seemingly minor, may affect which gate
operator is suitable for a particular installation location.
