SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFYING GATE OPERATOR CATEGORY AND UL 325 USAGE CLASS The UL 325 standard covers gate operators. Within this safety standard several Usage Classes are described that defi ne diff erent types of installations where gate operators can be applied. Some operators are restricted in their usage application. Appropriate Usage Classes are shown in the Specifi cations.

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.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS GATE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY Gate construction plays a very important role in ensuring The following provisions shall apply to Class I, Class the safety of any automated gate system. The standard II, Class III, and Class IV vehicular horizontal slide for gate construction is ASTM F2200.

• Using a suitable obstruction in the path of the All Nice HySecurity gate operators feature an Inherent gate (a solid, immovable object), run the gate in Entrapment System (IES) (UL 325 Type A) that monitors the open direction until it contacts the obstruction.
Page 9
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Installers must identify all potential entrapment zones and install sensors that protect these areas. Review your installation plan for entrapment zones. Install entrapment sensors anywhere within the motion of the gate or gate operator where it has a clearance less than 16 inch (41 cm). Swing Gate Potential PUBLIC Entrapment Zones...

WIRING AND POWER WIRING 115VAC OR 208/230VAC Operators are factory set for incoming power of 115VAC. If 208/230VAC, change the voltage switch on the power POWER supply to 230VAC with a flathead screwdriver (Figure 33 and Figure 34). ● Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage accessory wires run through separate conduits.
