IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6')
away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from
reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls.
Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel
(i.e. fire, police, EMS) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the
gate.
7. The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate.
Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
8. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, in the area of the
gate. Each placard is to be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on
which the placard is installed.
9. For gate operators using non-contact sensors (photoelectric beam or like) in
accordance with section 31.1.1 of the UL standard:
a. See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of
application (refer to page 10).
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, and
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 (refer to page 10).
d. Use only Miller Edge photoelectric beams (refer to pages 10 -11).
10. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor (edge sensor or like) in
accordance with section 31.1.1 of the UL 325 standard:
a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment
or obstruction exists, such as a the leading edge, trailing edge, and post
mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate (refer
to page 10).
b. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom of a vehicular
vertical lif t gate.
c. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a
vehicular vertical pivot gate.
d. A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so
that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subject to mechanical damage.
e. A wireless contact sensor such as 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
or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar
obstructions. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended
end-use conditions.
f.
One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside
leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing
gate is greater than 6 inches (152 mm) but less than 16 inches (406 mm)
above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact
sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.
g. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a
vertical barrier (arm).
h. Use only Miller Edge edge sensor (refer to pages 10 -11).
