intended use of
swing gate operator
The operator is intended for use on a VEHICULAR slide gate ONLY. It is intended to be used WITH appropriate entrapment
protection safety devices and in-ground vehicle loop detection system. This operator has a inherent entrapment protection
system and requires additional external monitored entrapment protection devices (Non-contact Photo sensors or contact
sensing edges) for each entrapment area prior to gate operation. Pedestrians MUST use a separate entrance.
