HAZARD ZONE
general information / safety instructions
1
Residents should be familiar
with proper use of gate, gate-
operator and possible hazards
associated with the gate system.
Eliminate or guard all exposed pinch points
and rollers.
Keep children away from gate controls.
Keep remote control away from children.
Security features should be installed to
avoid unauthorized use.
Controls must be installed away from the
gate (min. 10’ ft. away from gate) to avoid any
contact when operating the gate controls.
Keep adults, children and objects away from
the gate and HAZARD ZONES while in motion.
Speed limit through gate area is 5 MPH.
Install speed bumps and warning signs where
visible in the area of the gate. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the gate, gate-operator
and vehicle.
Gate operator is intended for installation on
gates used ONLY FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
Pedestrians must be provided with a separate
access and must stay out of the HAZARD
ZONE.
When removing the gate operator set to
the full open position and shut off power at the
service panel.
Vehicular gates should be constructed and
installed in accordance with ASTM F2200-
02, Standard Specification for Automated
Vehicular Gate Construction. Contact ASTM at
610.832.9585 or www.astm.org.
Gates should be properly installed,
move freely and maintained following the
recommended service schedule. Contact your
service dealer for any maintenance or repairs.
User should be familiar with the following
functions:
Gate Operating System
Reversing Functions and Testing
Reversing Loops
Inherent Reversing System
Electric Edges
Photoelectric Cells
Related External Devices
Vehicular gate systems can produce high
levels of force; therefore it is important that you
are aware of possible hazards.
Pinch Points
Entrapment
Absence of Controlled Pedestrian Access

COLUMM /
PILASTER
ENTRAPMENT
ZONE
general information / entrapment protection 1
This vehicular gate operator
is equipped with an inherent
adjustable current sensing system
(Type A). This system will sense
an obstruction in both the opening and closing
cycles causing the gate to reverse direction
should an obstruction be encountered. If the
system detects a second obstruction before
reaching the full open or close limit after the
initial reversal, an alarm will activate and the
operator will need to be reset before resuming
normal operation (see page. 21-22).
Test the gate operator monthly, the gate
MUST reverse or stop on contact when an object
activates the inherent sensing system. After
adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest
the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest
the gate operator properly can increase the
risk of injury or death. If any of these functions
operate improperly, remove the operator from
service immediately and contact your service
dealer.
Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells and
other devices must be installed with this gate
operator to prevent the gate from closing on
vehicular traffic.
Sufficient clearance should be available
between the gate and adjacent structures
when opening and closing to reduce the risk
of entrapment. Gates should not swing into
pedestrian access zones.
If entrapment zone is greater than 4” inches,
secondary entrapment protection is required.
If entrapment zone is less than 16” inches,
secondary entrapment protection is required.
If clearance between the gate and adjacent
structure is less than 16” inches, entrapment
protection is required, if clearance is more
than 16” inches, entrapment protection is not
required.

such as an airport security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the
general public, were unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security
personnel.
SYSTEM - In the context of these requirements, a system refers to a group of
interacting devices intended to perform a common function.
WIRED CONTROL - Acontrol implemented in a form of fixed physical interconnections
between the control, associated devices and an operator to perform predetermined
functions in response to input signals.
WIRELESS CONTROL - A control implemented in means other than fixed physical
interconnections (such as radio waves or infrared beams) between the control, the
associated devices and an operator to perform predetermined functions in response
to input signals.
INHERENT ENTRAPMENT SENSOR SYSTEM - An automatic sensor system that
senses entrapment of a solid object and is incorporated as a permanent and integral
part of the operator.
ENTRAPMENT - The condition when an object is caught or held in a position that
increases the risk of injury.
