death. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian traffi c to
a separate walk-through gate.
2.3 Install This Gate Operator Only When:
a. The operator is appropriate for the
construction of the gate and the usage Class
of the gate,
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are
guarded or screened from the bottom of the
gate to a minimum of 1.83 m (6 ft) above the
ground to prevent a 57.2 mm (2-1/4 inch)
diameter sphere from passing through the
openings anywhere in the gate, and the
portion of the adjacent fence that the gate
covers in the open position,
c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or
guarded, and
d. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
2.4 The operator is intended for installation only
on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must
be supplied with a separate access opening.
The pedestrian access opening shall be
designed to promote pedestrian usage.
Locate the gate such that persons will not
come in contact with the vehicular gate during
the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
2.5 The gate must be installed in a location so
that enough clearance is supplied between
the gate and adjacent structures when
opening and closing to reduce entrapment
risk. Swinging gates shall not open into public
access areas

to compensate for an improperly installed,
improperly functioning, or damaged gate.

user activation must be located at least 1.83
m (6 ft) away from any moving part of the gate
and where the user is prevented from reaching

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.
