IMPORTANT NOTICES
Vehicular gate systems provide convenience to their users and limit vehicular traffic onto your
property. These systems can produce high levels of force; therefore it is important that you are aware
of possible hazards associated with your gate operating system. These hazards may include pinch
points, entrapment, absence of controlled pedestrian access or traffic backup.
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.
•Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be installed
with this gate operator 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 residents are familiar with the proper use of the gate and gate operator. Be
sure that all residents are familiar with the possible hazards associated with the gate system.
•Be sure that all 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 reversing 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.
•Be sure that all activating 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 activating device. If activating devices are installed in violation of these
restrictions, immediately remove the gate operator from service and contact your installing
dealer.

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 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. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner's manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
6. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
7. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Gate Construction
Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with ASTM F2200-02; Standard
Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy of this standard, contact
ASTM directly at 610-832-9585; serv[email protected]; or www.astm.org.

RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS
Install The Gate Operator Only If:
•The operator is appropriate for the usage Class of the application and the gate is within the
weight and length limitations specified for the operator.
•All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to
a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼ inch (57.15 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.
•This operator is intended for installation only on slide gates used to control vehicular traffic.
Pedestrians must be provided with a separate access opening.
•The gate must be installed in a location so that sufficient clearance is provided between the
gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment (see
diagram). Sliding 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 reduce reversing sensitivity to compensate for a damaged gate.
•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. Outdoor or easily accessible controls
should have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
•All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.

ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION
This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. This
system will sense an obstruction in both the opening and closing gate cycles, and will cause 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 require a reset before resuming normal operation. See Section 4 for more information.
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION
Non-contact and/or contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to
provide external entrapment prevention. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:
•See diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors.
•Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips
the sensor while the gate is still moving, and
•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.
Gate
Fence
Entrapment area exist between the gate
and the adjacent fence when the gate is in
the opening cycle.
Open beam protects area
between the gate and
adjacent fence during the
open cycle.
Close beam prevents gate
from hitting obstructions
during the close cycle.
For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor:
•A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and it’s 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 transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate
operator for entrapment prevention 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.
