  • Page 14: Safety Requirements

    Important Safety Instructions Safety Requirements Automatic gate operators provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is imperative that gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. The gate operator is only one component of the total gate operating system.
  • Page 15 Important Safety Instructions • Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves freely. A gate that swings easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the opening or closing of the gate.

  • Page 16: Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility

    Important Safety Instructions Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility WARNING A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Automatic gate operators move gates with high force. Make sure gates and gate operators are installed to reduce the risks of entrapment. Verify your gate and gate operator comply with UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.

  • Page 17: Hazardous Materials And Proper Disposal

    Important Safety Instructions Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal SwingSmart uses sealed, state-of-the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and highly recommends replacing used batteries with new AGM-type batteries. CAUTION The batteries used with the SwingSmart gate operator contain materials that are considered haz- ardous to the environment.

  • Page 18: Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

    Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors ECONDARY NTRAPMENT ROTECTION ENSORS SwingSmart is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES).

Four different vehicular usage classes are defined by UL 325: Class I Class I: Intended for use in a location of one to four single family dwellings or a...

  • Page 20: Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection

    Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with the SwingSmart operator to meet UL compliance. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described below.

  • Page 21: Emergency Stop Button

    Emergency Stop Button MERGENCY UTTON An emergency stop button that is accessible from the outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance with UL325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop button on the SwingSmart operator is located inside a hole cutout on the cover.

  • Page 22: Wind Load Factors & Site Prep

    Wind Load Factors & Site Prep & S ACTORS Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. Solid gate panels produce a larger wind load than gates with slats or open decorative features. If you are installing a gate operator in high wind areas, the gate design will affect the load on the gate operator.

  • Page 23: Safety Notices

    Safety Notices AFETY OTICES The following four levels of safety notices are used where applicable within this manual; each notice contains information specific to the situation.

  • Page 37: Articulating Arm Option

    Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Articulating Arm Option The articulating arm assembly uses a spherical rod end at the elbow and at the bracket mount. Situations where you might use this option include: • The operator pad or gate is not level. The spherical rod ends on the articulating arm forgive minor discrepancies where the hardware may not be perfectly plumb.

    Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Setting the Taper Clamp Loosen 45° angle Tighten Taper handle Simulate a gate strike with ~ 100 lbs. of force. Retract Figure 1-16. NOTE Setting the taper clamp with the gate closed impedes traffic flow. If vehicles need to pass through the gate area, delay setting the taper clamp until after the operator has been configured to run.

  • Page 39: Locking The Gate Arm At Secure Facilities

    Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Locking the Gate Arm at Secure Facilities The purpose in leaving the gate arm with a slight bend in it (i.e. turning the set screw to offset the over travel stop) is to lessen the transference of energy along the gate arm during gate strikes. With the gate arm bent at a slight angle, it can absorb more of the impact and possibly cause less damage to the gear box in the SwingSmartDC operator.

    Wiring AC Power Wiring 115VAC Power For standard 115VAC power connection: • Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits. The higher voltage from the AC power supply may cause interference and anomalies in SwingSmart operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same conduit.
  • Page 44 Wiring AC Power For the 208/230VAC power connection: • Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits as discussed in Wiring 115VAC Power. • Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5 Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is recommended).

    Using A Solar Powered Operator Connecting Peripherals to Solar Operators CAUTION The 24VAC power supply shown in Figure 2-7 is not to be used for peripheral connections because the 24VAC terminals are directly connected to the solar panel inputs. Any peripherals attached to the 24VAC terminals could be severely damaged due to varying voltage levels.

  • Page 50: Understanding Gate Activity Based On Solar Zones

    Using A Solar Powered Operator For example, the Smart DC Controller has specific connections for photo eyes. When you attach photo eyes for entrapment protection, you have the option to wire the photo eyes to the EYE COM and +24VDC. When wired to these connections, the photo eyes only draw power when the motor engages, thereby extending battery life.

  • Page 51: Important Considerations For Dc-Powered Operators

    Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators MPORTANT ONSIDERATIONS FOR POWERED PERATORS • Since the operator is intended to run on batteries, control of the load is important.

  • Page 105: Installing Vehicle Detectors And Loops

    Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops NSTALLING EHICLE ETECTORS AND OOPS A vehicle detector passes a small current flow through the “loop” which then becomes an inductive coil. When a vehicle passes over the loop, the detector senses the resultant drop in the inductance, and actuates the detector output.
  • Page 106 Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops 9. This guide is written from a design perspective, but installation workmanship practices are equally important to insure proper operation and long loop life. The best way to insure a quality installation is to employ a professional installer experienced with detector loops. A few important practices are: •...

    Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate vs. Dark Operate, select Light Operate. If the photo eye has a relay output and has both NO and NC terminals, some experimentation may be required to determine the proper connection.
  • Page 112 Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only Notes about retro-reflective systems: Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector is important for trouble free performance. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty optics, condensation or poor weather.
