IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued
5. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when
the gate is moving AND AWAY FROM THE GATE PATH PERIMETER,
6. Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact
with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator
after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in
the line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature
to prevent unauthorized use.
7. All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate. A minimum
of two placards shall be installed. A placard is to be installed in the area of each side of the
gate and be visible to persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard is installed.
8. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Photo beam or like) in accordance with section
31.1.1 of the UL325 standard:
a) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of application (refer
to page 6),
b) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips
the sensor while the gate is still moving, and
c) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruc-
tion exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier (refer to page 6).
9. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor (Edge sensor or like) in accordance with section
31.1.1 of the UL325 standard:
a) One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction
exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate (refer to page 7).
b) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
c) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
d) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication
between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
e) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate
operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the
signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar
obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
f) One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a
swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6 inches (152
mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be
located on the bottom edge (refer to page 7).
g) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
