2 - SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION
All UL325 PPA compliant gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate
systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application.
This equipment must be installed with at least two entrapment protection means. Below are the types of entrapment protection
systems recognized by UL325 for use on this operator.
3 - ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION TYPES
Type A:
Inherent obstruction sensing system, self-contained within the operator. This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate
within two seconds of contact with a solid object.
Type B1:
Connections provided for a non-contact device, such as a photoelectric eye can be used as a secondary protection.
NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the danger of motorized
gate systems.
Approved Non-contact Devices (Type B1)
The following non-contact obstruction detection devices have been approved for use with this slide gate operator (or barrier gate

4 - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This equipment is to be installed and serviced by a professional gate
operator technician only. It is important that the specialized installer
follow all instructions given in this manual.
To Reduce the Risk of Severe Injury or Death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Never let children operate or play with door controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-
contact sensors. 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.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
4.1 – Safety Installation Information
1. Install the gate operator only when:
a) The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.
b) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6’ (1.83 m)
above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼” (6cm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in
that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
c) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers
2. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will
not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
3. 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. Swinging gates shall not be open into public access areas.
4. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator
5. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the
user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible
controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
6. The Reset switch must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to
start.
6
7. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
8. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a) Reference the owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application.
b) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving.
c) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
9. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a) One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the leading edge,
trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate
b) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
c) A hard wired contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures,
natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
d) One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the
bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6” (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact
sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.
e) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
