Safety Information For Slide Gate Operators - DoorKing 9500 Series Installation & Owner's Manual

Safety Information for Slide Gate Operators

Entrapment protection devices are required to reduce the risk of injury.
Install sensors where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists while
gate is moving. Individual requirements will vary. See pages 21-24 for
more information on typical layout locations and setup.
Non-Contact Sensors (Photo Sensors)
1
Helps minimize the potential of entrapment during the closing cycle
of the gate. Minimizes the potential of the gate closing on vehicular
or other traffic that loops cannot sense. It can be installed on the
secure OR non-secure side of gate.
2
Helps minimize the potential of entrapment during the back travel of
the gate (opening cycle). See previous page for gate gap information.
Contact Sensor (Reversing Edges)
A
Installed on the fence to help minimize the potential of entrapment
between the gate and fence during the opening cycle of the gate. A
filler post or barrier MAY need to be installed between fence and gate.
B
Helps minimize the potential of entrapment during the back travel
of the gate (opening cycle).
C Helps minimize the potential of entrapment during the closing
cycle of the gate. Minimizes the potential of the gate closing on
vehicular or other traffic that loops cannot sense.
Automatic
Exit Loop
(Optional) will
provide an open
command to the
gate operator(s)

Warning Signs
Permanently mounted and easily
visible from either side of the gate.

Loop
Minimizes the potential
of the gate closing
when a vehicle is
present. Number and
placement of loops is
dependent on the
application.
Moving Gate Can Cause
Serious Injury or Death
KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time
without prior warning.
Do not let children operate the gate or play
in the gate area.
Physical Stop
This entrance is for vehicles only.
Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
Physical Stops
Positive stops shall be required
to limit travel to the designed
fully open and fully closed
positions. These stops shall be
installed either at the top of the
gate, or at the bottom of the
gate where such stops shall
horizontally or vertically project
no more than is required to
perform their intended function.
