  • Page 7 SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. Always keep people and objects away from the barrier arm. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING ARM.
  • Page 8 A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, in the area of the gate. Each placard is to be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard is installed. HySecurity provides two warning signs already applied to barrier arms and two signs for attachment to both sides of the operator chassis.
  • Page 9 Locate photo sensors accordingly. Be certain that a suffi cient number of sensors are used so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in arm travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. Most HySecurity gate operators require external entrapment sensors that utilize Normally Closed (NC) contact means of monitoring. HySecurity gate operators utilizing the SmartCNX Controller require external entrapment sensors that have a 10k Ohm or 4-wire pulsed monitoring scheme.
