  • Page 3: Important Safety Information

    IMPORTANT! FOR SWING 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.

  • Page 4: Important Notice For Gate Operators Manufactured After 1/11/16

    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.
