SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GPSW100 SWING GATE OPERATORS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the System Designer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Thisoperatorisintendedforuseonlyonvehiculargates.Pedestriansmustbesupplied withaseparate
walk-through gate (see Entrapment Protection on page 5).
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the
system is placed far enough from the road to prevent trac congestion.
Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers
have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained
gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system.
Eachcomponentmustworkinunisontoprovidetheconsumerwithconvenience,security,andsafety.
This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer, and consumer.
Because therearemany possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautionsandwarningscontained
in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe
design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS,
WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION,
AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
The precautions and warnings in this manual are identied with these warning symbols.
This symbol identies the conditions that can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
This symbol identies the conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious
injury, or death.
BecauseGTOautomaticgateoperatorsareonlypartofthetotalgateoperatingsystem,itistheresponsibility
of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing
safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For the Installer
WARNING–To reduce the risk of injury or death:
I. Before Installation
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.  Verifythisoperatorisproperforthetypeandsizeofgate,anditsfrequencyofuse.
3. Makesurethatthegatehasbeenproperlyinstalledandswingfreelyinbothdirections.Repairorreplace
all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to
operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.
4. for pedestrian use (see page 5). NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
II. During Installation
1. Installthegateoperatorontheinsideofthepropertyandfenceline.DONOTinstallanoperatoronthe
outside of the gate where the public has access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where ngers or hands could
be pinched.
3. Determinethebestobstructionsensingsettingforthisinstallation.ThegateMUSTstopandreverse
on contact with an obstruction. 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
(see page 18).
4. Additional safety equipment such as photo beams and safety edges MUST be installed to prevent
bodily injury (see page 9).
5. Mountaccesscontrolsawayfromthegate(minimum distance is 10 feet). The user must have full view
of the gate but be unable to touch it while operating the controls.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of
the gate.
III. After Installation
1. ReviewALL safety instructions with the consumer/end user and explain the basic operation and safety
systems of the entire gate operator system.
2. Informtheconsumer/enduserthatservicingoftheoperatormustonlybedonebyan
experienced technician.
3. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert public of automatic gate operation.
Takeaphotoofwarningsignsinstalledongate.Recordthedateofthephotoforyourreference.
4. SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS.Leave IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (included)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Specic to Secondary
Means of Protection Against Entrapment
AsspeciedbyUnderwritersLaboratoriesInc.UL325(30A.1.1),automaticgateoperatorsshallhaveprovisions
for, or be supplied with, at least one independent primary and one independent secondary means to protect
against entrapment. GTO gate operators utilize Type A, an inherent entrapment sensing system, as the primary
type of entrapment protection. The GP-SW100 operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1, B2, or
Dprotection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection.
1.Forgateoperatorsutilizinganon-contactsensor(TypeB1)inaccordancewithUL325(51.8.4[h]):
 A. Refertothesensormanufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of
application.
B. 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.
C. 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.
2.Forgateoperatorsutilizingacontactsensor(TypeB2)inaccordancewithUL325(51.8.4[i]):
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both
inside and outside of a vehicular swing gate system.
B. A hard wired 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.
 C. 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 obstruction. A wireless
contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
3. For gate operators utilizing an actuating device requiring continuous pressure to maintain opening or
closingmotionofthegate(TypeD)inaccordancewithUL325(51.8.4[e]):
A. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate
is moving.
B. Warning signs (see page 6) shall be placed adjacent to the controls.
 C. Nootheractivationdeviceshallbeconnected.
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GP-SW100 operators are designed to stop and reverse for 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact
with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. Additionally, these operators
are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will function if the unit obstructs twice while
opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until the operator receives an
intended signal (e.g., transmitter signal) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

Using the Mounting Template
The mounting template (see insert)isdesignedtosimplifymountingtheoperator.Itprovidestheinstallerwith
the proper locations for running power and accessory wiring conduits. The template is also marked with the
correct distance between the operator mounting holes and shows the installer how to position the operator for
the correct clearance between the housing and the gate.
NOTE: The operator must be securely mounted on a level concrete pad. If you do not have an existing pad to work
with, be sure to install wiring conduit before pouring concrete. You must use (5) 3/8” diameter wedge type mounting
anchors, washers, and nuts (not included) to mount the operator on the pad.
Study the mounting template. Lay the mounting template on the level concrete pad and mark the pad according
to the instructions on the template.
Before mounting the operator, check the following:
