SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
10. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference owner's manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor 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.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication
between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
b. A wireless contact sensor such as the 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. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended
end-use conditions.
c. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and post
mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
d. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a
gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a gate is greater than 6" (15 cm) above the ground at
any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom
edge.
12. For horizontally moving pedestrian doors, ensure that entrapment between the driven part and
the surrounding fixed parts due to the movement of the driven part is avoided. This can be
achieved if the relevant distance does not exceed 8 mm. However, the following distances are
considered sufficient to avoid entrapments for the parts of the body identified:
a. For fingers, a distance greater than 25mm
b. For feet, a distance greater than 50mm
c. For heads, a distance greater than 300mm
d. For the whole body, a distance greater than 500mm
If these distances cannot be achieved, safeguarding devices must be provided.
IMPORTANT: The MyQ feature and its accessories are not permitted for use in the countries of Peru
and Chile.
