Polaris Automatic Gate Operators 500 Single User Manual page 7

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 operator 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. Turning
the power switch on the control box OFF
for ten seconds and back ON also
deactivates the alarm.

install a walkthrough gate for their use.
Warning Signs
The warning signs must be installed on
both sides of the gate.
These warning signs and decals must be
