Polaris Automatic Gate Operators SL2000 Installation Manual page 6

Entrapment Alarm
(UL 325; 30.1)
In compliance with UL 325 the Polaris Automatic Gate
Operator is designed to stop and reverse direction within
two seconds of sensing an obstruction. In addition, the
Polaris Automatic Gate Operator activates an audible alarm
if the unit incurs an obstruction twice while opening or
closing. This alarm sounds for five minutes, or until the
opener receives a renewed, intended input from a hardwired
control such as the Push Button Control. At that point the
gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Should
there be no means of sending the operator a renewed,
intended input, the gate operator can be reset by turning
the power switch located on the inside of the cabinet frame
to OFF for a minimum of ten seconds. Should battery back
up be attached, the red wire from the battery will also need
to be disconnected for the same ten seconds.
Figure 1 Warning signs (two enclosed) to be installed
on each side of the gate (three to five feet
above the bottom of the gate)
