SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• SpeedGates provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can
produce high levels of force, it is important that all persons involved in the design, installaon, and
use of SpeedGates are made aware of the potenal hazards associated with improperly designed,
installed, or maintained systems.
• Keep in mind that the SpeedGate is a fast-moving bi-fold gate system; entrapment can cause serious
injury or death.
• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate
must be:
‒Located in a clear line of sight to the gate.
‒Mounted beyond 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the gate to prevent users from touching or accessing
the gate while operang the controls. People aempng to access the controls by reaching
through or around the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
‒Incorporang a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• The gate system must be properly grounded, and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the juncon box.
• Install enough external entrapment protecon sensors so that pedestrians are protected from
entrapment in both direcons of the gate’s travel, and all hazard areas and possible pinch points are
fully protected. Review the informaon found in “External Entrapment Protecon Sensors” on page
29 and “Entrapment Protecon and Pinch Points” on page 37.
• Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate so they are clearly visible
from both sides of the gate. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.
• Open and close the gate to conrm that it was properly installed and to ensure reduced risk of
entrapment. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety
Standards. Have a qualied technician test the gate monthly.
• Specically, test the Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) and external entrapment protecon sensors.
The gate must stop upon contact with a rigid object, and stop or reverse direcon, when an object
acvates the non-contact sensors. Aer adjusng the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
system. Failure to adjust and test the gate system on a regularly maintained schedule can increase the
risk of injury or death.
Safety Requirements
Safety Informaon for SpeedGates

SPEEDGATE Installation and Maintenance Manual Revision 1 - MAY 2023 17
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR DESIGNERS, INSTALLERS AND USERS
• Have a professional gate installer rounely test the enre gate system and entrapment protecon
sensors. Have a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware to keep the gate running
smoothly.
• Hazards associated with automac gates can be reduced with proper site design, installaon, and use.
Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety Instrucons in this
manual and review all the literature that accompanies this product. It is important that only qualied
installers handle the installaon of the SpeedGate gate system. A “qualied” installer has one of the
following:
‒A minimum of three years’ experience installing similar equipment.
‒Proof of aending a Wallace Perimeter Security Technical Training seminar within the past three
years.
‒Signicant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptude in gate system installaon and
operaon.
• Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Tesng and Materials (ASTM) are
responsible for current safety standards and regulaons regarding gate systems and automated
gates. To pass UL cercaon, all aspects of gate installaon must comply with the appropriate safety
standards. For the most up-to-date, ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to hps://www.
astm.org/. For UL 325 Safety Standard, refer to hps://www.ul.com/.
Safety Consideraons for Designers, Installers and Users
A moving gate can cause serious injury
or death. Automac gate systems
move gates with high force. Make sure
gates and gate systems are installed
to reduce the risks of entrapment.
Verify your gate system complies with
UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM
F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Ask for a copy of the gate system’s
product literature and review it. You
are responsible for educang all gate
system users about proper use of the
automated gate system. Failure to
adjust and test the gate system on a
regularly maintained schedule can
increase the risk of injury or death.

18 wallaceperimetersecurity.comPhone: 866.300.1110
SAFETY STANDARDS - INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY
• All safety devices, namely photo eyes, gate edges and audible alarms that have been installed in the
SpeedGate must remain funconal for the life of the SpeedGate.
• Requirements of UL 325 Paragraph 31.1.18:
• Never disable the audio alarm signal provided with this system and NEVER disconnect or cut its
wires. The buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to move and it must be funconal in
the event of entrapment regardless of UL 325 gate usage class. Disabling the warning buzzer may
increase the risk or extent of injury if entrapment occurs.
• Install the hazard WARNING signs provided with the SpeedGate immediately adjacent to the SpeedGate
on both sides of the opening. The four (4) warning signs provided with this system must be installed
where visible in the area of the gate. (One is to be installed on each side of the gate and on either side
of the gate.) The sign must be clearly visible to persons located on the side of the gate on which the
warning sign is installed. These warning signs must be securely aached, and the End User advised of
the U.L. 325 requirement to keep them on the gate.
• SpeedGates are installed and operate so that there is sucient clearance between the gate and
adjacent structures, while both opening and closing, to minimize the risk of entrapment. There
must be sucient clearance between the moving gate panels and adjacent structures to prevent
entrapment while both opening and closing. If the spacing is less than 16 inches (40.6cm), addional
safety devices should be employed to respond to possible entrapment condions.
• Bi-folding secons of the SpeedGate should move toward private property when opening (away from
the public/un-protected area).
Safety Standards - Installer’s Responsibility
• Study the enre contents of this manual prior to installing, operang, or maintaining the SpeedGate
gate system. Taking extra me to align the gate system and verify a fully funconal installaon will
reduce maintenance, guarantee longest system life, and ensure customer sasfacon.
• Verify the gate system usage class for the site. Refer to “Applicaon: Idenfying Gate System Category
and Usage Class” on page 21 for gate classicaons. Install SpeedGate only when the gate system
class is correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
• Before operang the gate, move the gate in both direcons. Make sure it is level and moves freely.
A gate that swings easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the
opening or closing of the gate.
The audio alarm signal provided with this system is a buzzer (horns, sirens, or bell). The
signal shall have a frequency in the range of 700 to 3400 Hz, a cycle of the sound level
pulsaons of 1 to 2 per second, a sound level at least 100 dB 1 (305 mm) in front of the
device, and not vary more than 8 dB over the voltage range of operaon.

SPEEDGATE Installation and Maintenance Manual Revision 1 - MAY 2023 19
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS/USERS
Important Safeguards and Instrucons to Communicate to
Owners/Users
The following informaon is to be explained to the owners and users.
• Explain that a SpeedGate will sound an audible alarm for 2 seconds prior to any gate movement, and
while the gate is in moon. Addional warning devices, both visual and audible, are available for
integraon into the gate controller. The UL 325 Safety Standard specically requires that edge sensors
or photoelectric eyes or a combinaon of both devices be installed to protect against pedestrian
entrapment in BOTH direcons of the gate travel and where an entrapment hazard exists.
When you complete the installaon, instruct the owner/users as follows:
• How to operate the SpeedGate correctly and safely.
• To not allow pedestrians and/or bicycles to use the SpeedGate.
• To never allow children to play around the gate, or to have access to controls of the SpeedGate.
• How to disconnect power from the gate.
Gate system instrucons must be
given to the owner per UL 325 Safety
Standards.
• If a Pedestrian Gate is supplied, locate it far enough away from this gate system so as not to have
it ence pedestrians to make use of the vehicular gate, or travel near the moving gate panel, even
when in the fully open posion.
• Always specify, as part of a complete gate system, the addional safety devices that can reduce the
risk to pedestrians in the area of the SpeedGate.
• The gate system is only one component of the total gate operang system. It is the joint responsibility
of the architect, site designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is
appropriately congured for its intended use. Addionally, certain municipalies have established
licensing, codes or regulaons that regulate automated gate system design and installaon. Consult
local government agencies for up-to-date rules and regulaons prior to gate system design or
installaon.
SpeedGates are not for pedestrian use. Always provide a separate pedestrian gate
that is located away from the SpeedGate so as not to aract pedestrian use of the
SpeedGate. Ensure proper signage is posted direcng pedestrians to the walk-through
gate. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. No one should cross the path
of a moving gate.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS/USERS
• How to use the manual brake disconnect by pulling down the manual brake disconnect under the
drive motor secured inside the column, and manually pushing the gate(s) open and close.
• To contract a qualied service company for regular maintenance and safety checks to ensure correct
funcon of the gate.
All access controls must be located far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming into
contact with the gate while operang the controls. Although this requires a site-dependent evaluaon,
typically a distance of 6 feet (1.83 meters) between the controls and any poron of the SpeedGate should
be considered as meeng these installaon criteria. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a
security feature to prevent unauthorized use. It is strongly recommended that the Electrical Controls
Enclosure be kept locked at all mes, for which a locking door has been provided.
Following the complete installaon and tesng of the system, the installer must provide to the end user
a thorough brieng and demonstraon of the gate system. See “End User Brieng Instrucons” on page
137. It is recommended that one copy of the instrucons be signed by both the installer and end user,
dated, and retained in a le by the installaon company as a permanent record this brieng has been
done.
Before aempng a manual release,
make sure the gate is not moving.
A moving gate can cause serious injury
or death. Start the gate system only
when the gate’s travel path is clear.
