SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• SpeedGates provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can
produce high levels of force, it is important that all persons involved in the design, installation, and
use of SpeedGates are made aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed,
installed, or maintained systems.
• Keep in mind that the SpeedGate is a fast-moving bi-fold gate system; entrapment can cause serious
injury or death.
• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate
must be:
‒
Located in a clear line of sight to the gate.
‒ Mounted beyond 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the gate to prevent users from touching or accessing
the gate while operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching
through or around the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
‒ Incorporating a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• The gate system must be properly grounded, and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the junction box.
• Install enough external entrapment protection sensors so that pedestrians are protected from
entrapment in both directions of the gate’s travel, and all hazard areas and possible pinch points are
fully protected. Review the information found in “External Entrapment Protection Sensors” on page
29 and “Entrapment Protection and Pinch Points” on page 37.
• Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate so they are clearly visible
from both sides of the gate. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.
• Open and close the gate to confirm that it was properly installed and to ensure reduced risk of
entrapment. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety
Standards. Have a qualified technician test the gate monthly.
• Specifically, test the Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) and external entrapment protection sensors.
The gate must stop upon contact with a rigid object, and stop or reverse direction, when an object
activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
system. Failure to adjust and test the gate system on a regularly maintained schedule can increase the
risk of injury or death.
