FOR SLIDE GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
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 identified 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 U/L to ensure the safety of the complete operating
system.

SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
▲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 traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage
levels, and gate cycle/speed must be considered to eliminate potential
traffic hazards.
▲4. The majority of injuries from slide gate operator systems occur with Open
Roller or Ornamental Grille Type Gates. We strongly recommend the
use of roller guards. The illustrations and descriptive captions found on
the following pages provide precautions to help eliminate injuries or
fatalities. Familiarize yourself with them when designing the total system.
▲5. Design the gate system so a person cannot reach through the gate to
operate any controls. Never place controls on the gate operator itself.
6
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
disconnect mechanism 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 the gate and fence
to keep users away from the moving gate and fence.
▲8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of the security type
to prohibit unauthorized use.

7
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 how to operate the manual disconnect mechanism.
▲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 makeup for rough
spots in gate travel - FIX THE GATE INSTEAD!
▲5. Locate the controls at least 10 feet from the moving gate so that the user
can observe the gate operation, but is not able to come in contact with the
gate while operating the controls.
8
▲6. Attach large warning signs provided to each side of gate in the
most conspicuous place. Mount control station and smaller
warning placard together within sight of the gate opening.
WARNING
Moving Gate Can Cause
Serious Injury or Death.
KEEP CLEAR! Gate May Move
at Any Time. Children Should
Not Operate Gate. Operate
Gate Only When Area is in
Sight and Free of People
and Obstructions.
AFTER INSTALLATION
▲You are responsible for ensuring that the end user understands the
basic operations and safety systems of the unit, including the
location and operation of the manual disconnect.
▲Point out that the safety instructions in brochure are the
responsibility of the end user, and then LEAVE A COPY OF THIS
BROCHURE WITH THE END USER

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 specific gate
system(s). Keep the gate properly maintained and have a qualified 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.
10
▲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 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.

11
▲7. If your gate has open rollers, be sure roller guards have been
purchased and installed.
INCORRECT
CORRECT
12
▲8. Your gate system is required to have a primary and a secondary
entrapment safety system installed and maintained.
▲9. If your gate closes automatically, loop detectors should be installed to
detect the presence of a vehicle.
▲10.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.
▲11.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!
▲12.You are responsible for ensuring that warning signs are installed and
maintained on both sides of your gate.
▲13.To ensure safe operation of this equipment, you must read this safety
manual and keep it for reference.
MANUAL DISCONNECT OPERATION
▲Your operator is equipped with a pad lockable emergency disconnect for
manual operation. Be sure you have a key and understand how to operate
this equipment. To disengage operator, move red disconnect lever to the left
and latch it in place.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR OPEN-ROLLER GATES
AND ORNAMENTAL GRILLE-TYPE GATES
▲WARNING: INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH AUTOMATIC GATES ARE
MAINLY INCURRED WITH OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND
ORNAMENTAL “GRILLE TYPE” GATES
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
▲Injuries occur when people get their hands caught between the top of the
gate and the roller. This potential pinch point should be guarded
whenever an automatic operator is installed. Roller Guards are available
from various fence suppliers for refitting of these rollers.
ORNAMENTAL “GRILLE TYPE” GATES
▲Injuries occur when people put their arms through openings in the grilles
when the gate is operated. The person cannot retract his/her arm and it
gets caught between the grille and the fence post or fence. The potential
hazard must be guarded. It can be simply done by placing a screen mesh
on the gate and fence in the area of the gate. The screen must be a
minimum of 4 feet high from the bottom (unless the gate and fence are
shorter) with openings that a 2¼-inch sphere cannot fit through. This will
help to prevent access through openings when the gate travels.

EMERGENCY CONTROL STATION OPTION
Provision has been made to change the control station operational mode to one
that would only be activated when the entrapment sensing system is in stop
mode; with the warning horn activated. This would give a person access to
control the gate in an emergency situation, but it would be inoperative under
normal circumstances. To activate this option, move dipswitch #1 to the “ON”
position.
NOTE: When this emergency mode of operation is activated, the control station
functions as a constant pressure control.

LOOP DETECTOR SYSTEMS AND INSTALLATION
The diagram below depicts the typical loop options for a Slide Gate installation.
1. The Exit Loop provides a signal to open the gate when a vehicle enters
the loop zone.
2. The Reversing Loops protect a vehicle in the loop zone from being
contacted with the gate by overriding any close signal while the
gate is open, and by reversing the gate if closing.

1. Layout the desired loop locations per the diagram. The standard size
chart below will give an approximate length of wire required for various
loop dimensions and number of turns required.
CAUTION: The Loop wires and Lead-in wires must be a continuous piece of
wire without splices. Only use wire intended for this type of application.
(Type XHHW insulation 16AWG)
NOTE: Buried steel from drains or other systems may affect functioning of the
loop system. Check with the factory for advice on any special installations.
