SAFETY REQUIREMENTS SAFETY MESSAGES IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The safety messages below inform you about potential Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can hazards that can result in injury. Safety messages speciﬁ cally be reduced with proper site design, installation, address level of exposure to operator and are preceded by and use.
Page 9 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS WARNING To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
Page 10 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY WARNING This automatic gate operator is not designed nor is it intended for pedestrian traﬃ c. Vehicular gate operators must by their nature be powerful to function reliably. This power can cause injury or death. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian traﬃ c to a separate walk-through gate.
Page 11 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Another source of information is available from DASMA, the The following provisions shall apply to Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV vehicular horizontal slide gates: Door and Access System Manufacturer’s Association. The Association publishes Technical Data Sheets, one of which All weight bearing exposed rollers 8 ft (2.44 m), or less, above concerns ASTM F2200.

Page 13 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS The following sensors have been tested with HySecurity gate operators by an independent laboratory and certiﬁ ed to comply with UL 325 7th Edition. Select sensors from this list for UL compliant gate automation solutions. Contact the sensor manufacturer for speciﬁ c recommendations for use. All external entrapment protection sensors must have NC sensor outputs and be wired to the SENSOR COM CAUTION terminal for monitoring and powering purposes.
