operator. Taking extra time to align
gate operator and verify a fully
functional installation reduces
maintenance, guarantees longest system life,
and ensures customer satisfaction.
 Verify gate operator usage class
for the site. For all gate operators
other than Crash-rated, refer
to Identifying Gate Operator
Category and Usage Class in
product manual. Install operator
only when gate operator class is
correct for site, size, and type of gate.
 Install an automatic operator only on gates
that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence
Standards. Screen or enclose openings in gate
per UL 325 Safety Standards include:
• All horizontal slide gates must guard or
screen openings from gate's base support
to a minimum height of 6 feet (183 cm)
above ground. This must prevent a sphere of
2¼-inches (57 mm) in diameter from passing
through an opening in gate or adjacent fence
that is covered in gate's open position.
• Physical stops must exist in gate construction
to prevent over-travel in both directions and
guard posts must be installed to prevent gate
from falling in event of a roller failure.
 Before attaching operator to gate, move gate
or barrier arm in both directions. Make sure it
is level and travels freely. A gate or barrier arm
that moves easily reduces strain on operator
components. Gravity should play no part in gate
opening or closing.
 Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief
valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.
 Make sure all exposed pinch points,
rollers and wheels are guarded.

reach. Permanently mounted control devices
that operate gate must be:
• Located in a clear line of sight
to gate. Locate controls (Open,
Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of gate.
Activation of stop/reset shall
not start the operator.
• Mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm)
of any moving part of the gate, to
prevent users from touching or
accessing gate while operating
controls.
• People attempting to access
controls by reaching through or around gate
can be seriously injured or killed by moving
gate.
• Incorporate a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.
permanently wired to incoming power per local
codes. Input voltage must match junction box
voltage label.
direct connection of up to three (3) external
entrapment protection sensors so pedestrians
are protected from entrapment in both directions
of gate travel and all hazard areas are fully
protected. On hydraulic gates, set pressure
relief valve at lowest allowable setting that
will reliably operate gate. Pressure relief valve
controls applied force of operator and sensitivity
of inherent entrapment sensor (IES). Note that
no IES exists in barrier arm operators.
