Automatic gate operators provide convenience and
security to users. However, because these machines
can produce high levels of force, it is important that all
gate operator system designers, installers, and end
users be aware of the potential hazards associated
with improperly designed, installed, or maintained
systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is a
component part of a total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety
precautions and warnings for the system designer,
installer and end user. These instructions provide an
overview of the importance of safe design, installation,
and use.
Warnings are identied with the ▲symbol. This symbol
will identify some of the conditions that can result in
serious injury or death. Take time to carefully read
and follow these precautions and other important
information provided to help ensure safe system
design, installation and use.
▲WARNING: Gate operators are only one part of a
total gate operating system. It is the responsibility of
purchaser, designer, and installer to ensure that the
total system is safe for its intended use. All secondary
entrapment safety devices must be RECOGNIZED
by UL to ensure the safety of the complete operating
system.
IMPORTANT!
FOR SWING GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS,
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR GATE OPERATORS
MANUFACTURED AFTER JANUARY 11TH, 2016
All gate operators manufactured after January 11th, 2016 must have a
monitored input for each direction. In order to satisfy this requirement,
all PowerMaster gate operators with the universal board will have one
monitored input for each direction. The close photo (11) terminal will
function for the close direction and the open photo (10) will function
for the open direction. These terminals will look for, or “monitor”, the
presence of a 10k in-line resistor. If either terminal does not detect the
presence of the monitored device, the unit will function in constant
contact for this direction.
Note: The rst time a monitored device is added to the unit, the board
must “learn” what the monitored device is. To have the board learn the
monitored device, perform the following steps:
1. With the power o, hold both the open and close limit
simultaneously.
2. Power up the unit and release your ngers from the limits. The
unit has now learned the monitored device.
E.g. The operator detects there is a monitored device on the 11 terminal
but not the 10 terminal. The operator will function in momentary
contact to close and constant pressure to open.
Following are the monitored devices acceptable for use with the
GSMCB02:
Any actions taken to circumvent this monitoring are in violation of the
UL325, building code, and local laws.

1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are
relying on your design to provide a safe installation.
2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection
system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system
installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system.
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare,
be sure the system is placed far enough away from the road to eliminate trac
backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage levels, and gate cycle/speed
must be considered to eliminate potential trac hazards.
4. Swing gates have two potential entrapment zones you must avoid. Make sure they
are protected as shown in the following diagram (Figure 1).
5. Design the gate system so a person
cannot reach over, under, around,
or through the gate to operate any
controls. Never place controls on the
gate operator itself.
THIS GATE SYSTEM IS FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY. A
SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE MUST BE PROVIDED.
WARNING
SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Pedestrians should
keep clear of path
of gate, particularly
in the area before

INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency
of use. If you are not sure, consult factory.
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk
of entrapment when gate is opening or closing.
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in
both directions. Replace or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to
installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and enhance the
performance of the operator as well as the safety devices used within the system.
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. DO NOT
install an operator on the public side of the gate.
5. Severe injury or death can result from entrapment by a gate. The operator is supplied
with an obstruction sensing primary entrapment protection system. Additional safety
equipment such as electric edges or photocell sensors must be installed to provide
the required secondary entrapment protection system. For assistance in selecting the
correct type of safety equipment, consult the factory.
6. Review the operation of the unit and become familiar with the manual operation
procedure and safety features of the system.
7. You must install a pushbutton control or key switch to allow for normal operation of
the gate if the automatic controls do not work. Locate the push button or key switch
and small warning placard within sight of the gate in a secured area at least 10 feet or
more from any moving parts of the gate or operator.
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of the security type to prohibit
unauthorized use. Please consult your local distributor concerning the types and
specications of available controls.
DURING INSTALLATION
1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
2. Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service connections.
Connection location for controls and safety equipment can be found on the wiring
diagram, and in this manual.
3. Know the procedure for disengaging and manually operating the unit.
4. Adjust the open and close force adjustment on the control board, in each direction,
to the minimum force required to operate the gate smoothly. DO NOT increase the
force adjustment setting to make up for rough spots in gate travel - FIX THE GATE
INSTEAD!

END USER SAFETY WARNINGS
The manufacturer of the gate operator does not know what type of gate you have, or what
type of automatic system is installed on your gate. Be sure you’ve been fully instructed
on the sequence of operation for your specic gate system(s). Keep the gate properly
maintained and have a qualied service person make repairs.
1. Be sure the following safety instructions
are distributed to all persons authorized
to use your gate.
2. KEEP GATEWAY CLEAR (Front and
Back) AT ALL TIMES. Your automatic
gate is not for pedestrian use. No
one should ever cross the path of the
moving gate.
3. DO NOT allow children to play near your
gate, or to operate the gate.
4. DO NOT operate your gate system
unless you can see it when the gate
moves.
5. Be sure a pushbutton or key switch
has been installed for manual electric
operation in the event your radio or
card key does not work. Any mounted
control station should be located a
minimum of 10 feet from the gate so
the gate cannot be reached through or
touched. Any pushbutton located in a
building should be installed within sight
of the gate.
6. DO NOT operate any controls without
watching the movement of the gate.
7. Your gate system is required to have a
primary and a secondary entrapment
safety system installed and maintained.
8. If your gate closes automatically, loop
detectors should be installed to detect
the presence of a vehicle.

9. DO NOT increase force adjustment to compensate for a damaged gate. The
gate should always be maintained to operate manually as easily as possible to
provide maximum protection.
10. Check all safety systems at least once per month for the correct force, speed
and sensitivity. Gate must reverse when hitting a rigid object, or when a
non-contact sensor is activated. If these functions are observed to operate
improperly, discontinue use and have it serviced immediately!
11. You are responsible for ensuring that warning signs are installed and
maintained on both sides of your gate.
12. To ensure safe operation of this equipment, you must read this safety manual
and keep it for reference.
