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.
9210-065-H-8-08 Page 7

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 89210-065-H-8-08

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.
7. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier
(arm).

1.2 Mounting Options
The 9210, 9220 and 9230 vehicular gate operators are designed to be mounted on the optional
mounting stand (p/n 9200-135) or directly to a concrete pad. The mounting stand option is
recommended if the gate length exceeds 30 feet since this mounting method will allow a “chain rest”
to be mounted on the gate.
Pad mounting is typically
used with gates that are less
than 30 feet in length.
Requires use of the pad
mounting plate that is
included with the operator.
Pedestal mounting is
typically used with gates that
are greater than 30 feet in
length since this method
allows a chain rest to be
installed on the gate.
Requires use of the pad
mounting plate that is
included with the operator.
Requires use of the
OPTIONAL operator
mounting stand.

1.4 Pad Mount Installation
1. Construct a form for the mounting pad according to the specifications shown below. 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). Conduits can be set in the areas
indicated in the illustration. 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 four (4) ½-
inch knockouts in the operator for this purpose.

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.
4. Allow the pad to cure for 48 hours before removing the forms or mounting the operator.
5. Once the pad has cured, place the operator / mounting plate on the pad in the proper
position; 4-inches from the front and sides of the pad and 1-inch from the rear of the pad.
The operator mounting plate must be parallel to the gate. CAUTION: the operator
is heavy. Two persons are required to lift the operator onto the mounting pad.
6. Once the operator is in the proper position on the pad, secure the operator mounting
plate directly to the pad using 3/8 or 1/2 x 3 sleeve anchors. Be sure that the operator
mounting plate is parallel to the gate.
