SITE PREPARATION

BEFORE installing the operator, be sure to check the following:
• Gate is constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 standards
• Gate fits specifications of operator
• National and local building codes
• Earth ground rod
• UL approved conduit for low and high voltage
• Mounting considerations post or pad
• Operator placement
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
• Warning signs
• Entrapment devices such as loops, contact sensors and non-contact sensors
SAFETY CATCH ROLLERS
1
Install catch rollers with safety covers on the side of a post or wall with a
minimal distance of half an inch between the rollers and gate.
2
DO NOT use a gate catch post.
Because the coasting distance may vary due to changes in temperature, it is
NOT recommended to install a stop or catch post in front of the gates path.
To do so will cause the gate to hit the post in certain instances.
