Page 7: Intended Use Of Swing Gate Operator
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 Photocells or contact sensing edges) for each entrapment area prior to gate operation. -
