Safety Requirements; Important Safety Instructions; Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility - HySecurity SwingSmart DC 20 Installation And Reference Manual

Automatic gate operators provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can produce
high levels of force, it is imperative that gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of
potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. The gate operator is
only one component of the total gate operating system. It is the joint responsibility of the architect, site
designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is appropriately configured for its
intended use. Additionally, certain municipalities have established licensing, codes or regulations that regulate
automated gate system design and installation. Consult local government agencies for up-to-date rules and
regulations prior to gate system design or installation.

WARNING
!
A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Start the gate operator only when the gate's
travel path is clear.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use.
Installers, maintenance crew, and owners/users must read and follow the
manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified installer's
handle the installation of the SwingSmart gate operator. A "qualified" installer has one of the following:
• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment.
• Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years.
• Significant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation.
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for
current safety standards and regulations regarding gate operators and automated gates. To pass UL certification,
all aspects of gate installation must comply with the UL 325 Safety Standard. For the most up-to-date UL 325
Safety Standard, refer to the UL website www.ul.com. For ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to
www.astm.org.

Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility
