Important Notices
Vehicular gate operator products provide convenience and security. However, gate operators must
use high levels of force to move gates and most people underestimate the power of these systems
and do not realize the potential hazards associated with an incorrectly designed or installed system.
These hazards may include:
•Pinch points
•Entrapment areas
•Reach through hazards
•Absence of entrapment protection devices
•Improperly located access controls
•Absence of vehicle protection devices
•Absence of controlled pedestrian access
In addition to these potential hazards, automated vehicular gate systems must be installed in
accordance with the UL-325 Safety Standard and the ASTM F2200 Construction Standard. Most lay
persons are unaware of, or are not familiar with, these standards. If an automated vehicular gate
system is not properly designed, installed, used and maintained, serious injuries or death can result.
Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the gate and gate operator
system. Be sure that the installer has trained you about the basic functions of the required reversing
systems associated with your gate operating system and how to test them. These include reversing
loops, inherent reversing system, electric edges, photoelectric cells, or other external devices.
•This Owner’s Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
•Be sure that all access control devices are installed a minimum distance of 10 feet
away from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person cannot touch the
gate or gate operator while using the device. If access control devices are installed in
violation of these restrictions, immediately remove the gate operator from service and contact
your installing dealer.
•Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be installed to
prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.
•The speed limit for vehicular traffic through the gate area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and
signs to keep vehicular traffic from speeding through the gate area. Failure to adhere to
posted speed limits can result in damage to the gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.
•Be sure that all persons who will use the gate system are familiar with the proper use of the
gate and gate operator and are familiar with the possible hazards associated with the gate
system.
•Be sure that warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of the gate in an area
where they are fully visible to traffic.
•It is your responsibility to periodically check all entrapment protection devices. If any of these
devices are observed to function improperly, remove the operator from service immediately
and contact your installing or servicing dealer.
•Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
•Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with any gate-operating
device.
•To remove the gate operator from service, operate the gate to the full open position and then
shut off power to the operator at the service panel.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away
from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact (contact sensors must
be installed) with a rigid object or stop or reverse 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
qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Gate Construction
Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with ASTM F2200; Standard
Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy of this standard, contact ASTM
directly at 610-832-9585; [e-mail]; or www.astm.org.

Instructions regarding intended installation:
•Install the gate operator only if:
1. The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of
the gate.
2. 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 ¼ 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.
3. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
4. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
•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.
•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 should 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, pressure relief valve or reduce
reversing sensitivity to compensate for a damaged gate.
•For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
1. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate
area when the gate is moving.
2. A warning placard shall be placed adjacent to the controls.
3. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not
be employed.
4. No other activation device shall be connected.
•Controls intended for user activation must be located at least ten feet (10’) 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 should have a
security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
•The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of
the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
•A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate
where easily visible.
•For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:
1. See the instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of
application.
2. 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 in the opening direction.
3. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exist, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
Page 8 9100-065-D-5-07

•For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:
1. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exist, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both
inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
2. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular
vertical lift gate.
3. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical
pivot gate.
4. 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.
5. A wireless contact sensor such as 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 obstructions. A wireless contact sensor shall function
under the intended end-use conditions.

1.2 Mounting Positions
The Model 9100 operator is designed so that it can be installed in any of the mounting positions
shown below. Once the mounting position has been determined, the chain idlers must be adjusted to
accommodate the mounting position chosen before the operator is mounted to the pad or post. The
idlers are factory set for the front, pad mount position. (Note: Rear and center position, and post-
mounted operators require additional hardware not supplied with the operator).
1.2.1 Front Position Pad Mount
•This is considered the standard
method of installing slide gate
operators.
•Set both chain idlers in the top
position (factory setting).
•Remove the TOP chain knockouts
from each side of the operator.
•Chain passes through the
operator and is attached to each
end of the gate.

1. Construct a form for the mounting pad
according to the specifications shown in
figure 6. Be sure to level the top edge of
the form and that the top of the form is a
minimum of four (4) inches above ground
level. We suggest that you contact the
local building department to determine
the required depth of the pad since soil
conditions and code requirements vary
from city to city.
2. Set conduits, reinforcing bars and/or wire
mesh if required. The number of conduits
is determined by the application
requirements. We suggest using a
minimum of four (4) conduits. 1-High
voltage power lines; 2-Low voltage
control lines; 3-Loop lead-in wires (open
loop); 4-Loop lead-in wires (reverse
loops). See SECTION 2. Set additional
conduits as required for your application.
NOTE: If conduits are not set in the pad,
they can be routed to a J box where
connections to the operator can be made
after it is installed. There are three (3) ½-
inch knockouts and one (1) ¾-inch
knockout on each side of the operator for
this purpose.
3. Mix the concrete according to the
manufacturers instructions. Pour the
mixture into the form and tamp. Level
and finish the surface after pouring is
complete. Do not set anchor bolts in the
concrete. Sleeve anchors should be
used to secure the operator to the pad.
This allows greater flexibility in
positioning the operator on the pad.

1.3.2 Post Mounted Operators
Post mounting can be used when the operator will be installed in any of the three mounting positions,
and must be used if the operator is to be center mounted.
1. Post mounting the operator requires
the use of an operator base plate
(P/N 2600-418) and two (2) 4 X 4
steel post (not supplied) welded to
the base plate as shown in figure 7.
The length of the steel post and the
depth of the pad are determined by
soil conditions and local code
requirements. We suggest that you
contact the local building department
to determine the required depth of
the pad since soil conditions and
code requirements vary from city to
city.
