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 Specifi cation 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
 Traffi c Backup

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. 22-23).
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 traffi c.
Suffi cient 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.

1general information / glossary
GATE - A moving barrier such as a swinging, sliding, raising, lowering, or similar
barrier, that is a stand-alone passage barrier or a portion of a wall or fence system
that controls entrance and/or exit by persons or vehicles and completes the perimeter
of a defi ned area.
RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR-CLASS I - A vehicular gate
operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to-four single family dwelling,
garage or parking area associated therewith.
COMMERCIAL / GENERAL ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR-CLASS II
- A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a commercial location or
building such as a multi-family housing unit (fi ve or more single family units), hotels,
garages, retail store or other building servicing the general public.
INDUSTRIAL / LIMITED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR-CLASS III -
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as a factory or loading dock area or other locations not intended to
service the general public.
RESTRICTED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR-CLASS IV - A vehicular
gate operator (or system) intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building
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 - A control implemented in a form of fi xed 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 fi xed 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.

Using the allen wrench insert and rotate towards the open position to release the actuator to manual operation. Reverse these steps when
locking the actuator.
2actuator installation / manual release
Unlock and remove the cover (key provided) to access the unlock/lock allen wrench.
If a power failure or a malfunction occurs the gate can be operated
manually by releasing the actuator to manual operation.
 Never attempt to manually operate any gate with an operator attached
to it until you have verifi ed that power to the operator has been shut-off
unless otherwise specifi ed.

actuator installation / gate mount
Remove the three (3) screws and slide the
actuator cover out.
Release the actuator (see page 8).
a. Fully extend the actuator.
b. Rotate the actuator back two (2) cycles, (this will prevent the
actuator from bottoming out when opening the gate).
BEFORE INSTALLING THE GATE
ACTUATOR
 Review actuator/bracket installation dimensions.
 If installing on brick or concrete, fl ush mount a reinforced
steel plate and weld the rear actuator bracket to the steel
plate.
 Maximum gate length is 14’ ft.
 Gate should be mounted on heavy-duty ball bearing hinges.
 Gate MUST swing freely without binding.
The gate actuator can produce
high levels of force; therefore it
is important that a support bar
that spans the entire length of the gate
is installed, this will avoid warping or
bending pickets.
Do not install the
actuator at the full
extended position.

NOTE: Before tack welding the front bracket confi rm the
actuator is not bottomed out, refer to page 9 step 2. Install
the front mounting bracket on to the actuator using the long pin
and retaining ring. Level and center the actuator and tack weld
the front bracket (confi rm the gate swings freely 90 degrees).
Cover the actuator
to avoid any welding
