INSTALL THE GATE OPERATOR ONLY WHEN:
•
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage
Class of the gate,
•
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded,
•
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must supplied with a separate access opening,
•
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 open
into public access areas,
•
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior
to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator
clutch or presure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
FOR GATE OPERATORS WITH HOLD-TO-RUN CONTROL:
•
The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view
of the gate area when the gate is moving,
INSTALLATION MANUAL
•
A sign with the message "WARNING" must be positioned near the
controls. The characters for the writing should be at least 6.4 mm high.
The following statement should also be indicated: "Moving Gate Has the
Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start Gate Unless Path is
Clear".
•
An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similare
device) shall not be employed
•
No other activation device shall be connected.
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented
from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. controls
intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the
entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line-of-sight
of the gate. Outdoor or easly accesible controls shall have a security feature
to prevent unauthorized use.
All warnings signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area
of the gate.
FOR GATE OPERATORS PROVIDED WITH SENSOR FOR CONTACT-
FREE DETECTION:
•
See instructions on the placement of non contact sensor for each type
of application,
•
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as
when a vheicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.
•
One or more non-contact sensor shall be located where the risk of entrap-
ment or obstruction exist, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving
gate.
FOR GATE OPERATORS PROVIDED WITH CONTACT DETECTION
(SAFETY EDGE OR SIMILAR):
•
On or more contact sensor shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular
vertical pivot gate.
•
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so
that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subjected to mechanical damage.
•
A wireless contact sensor such as one that transimts radio frequency
(RF) signals the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall
be located where the transimission of the signals are not obscrtucted or
impeded y building structure, natural landscaping or similar obstruction.
A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use
conditions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS: to reduce the risk of injury or death:
•
Read and follow all instructions.
•
Never let children operate or play with gate control. Keep the remote
control away from children.
•
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD
•
Test the gate operator montly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with
a rigid object activates the non-contact sensor. After adjusting the force
or the limit of travel, reset the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest
the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
•
Use the emergency realease only when the gate is not moving.
•
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the
bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm) 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,
•
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is
supplied for sliding gates exposed rollers.
•
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented
from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls
intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations
of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the
line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have
a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
•
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owners manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
•
THE ENTRANCE IS FOR VEICHLES ONLY. PEDESTRIANS MUST
USE SEPARATE ENTRANCE.
•
Save these instructions.
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Electromechanical piston designed to automatically operate residential gates.
The irreversible gearmotor keeps the gate locked both in the closing and
opening positions, making the use of the electric lock redundant.
