SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SWING GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS
SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However,
because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is important
that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end users be aware
of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or
maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is a component of a
total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety precautions and warnings
for the system designer, installer, and end user. These instructions provide
an overview of the importance of safe design, installation, and use.
Warnings are identified with the symbol A. This symbol will identify some of
the conditions that can result in serious injury or death. Take time to
carefully read and follow these precautions and other important information
provided to help ensure safe system design, installation, and use.
WARNING: Gate operators are only one part of a total gate operating system.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser, designer, and installer to ensure
that the total system is safe for its intended use. All secondary entrapment
safety devices must be U/L recognized to complete the operating system.
SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer.
Users are relying on your design to provide a safe installation.
2. The operator is supplied with a primary current sensing entrapment
protection system. The operating system must also have a secondary
entrapment protection system installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an
electric edge system (See pages 7 & 8).
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main
thoroughfare, make sure it is placed far enough away from the road to
eliminate traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage
levels, and gate cycle/speed must be considered to eliminate potential
traffic hazards.
4. The majority of injuries from swing gate operator systems occur when
people are trapped between an object and the moving gate. The illustrations
and descriptive captions found on the following pages provide precautions to
help eliminate |

INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A. Before Installation
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate
and its frequency of use. If you are not sure, consult factory.
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which
may pose a risk of entrapment when gate is opening or closing.
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works
freely in both directions. Repair or service any worn or damaged gate
hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force
to operate, and will enhance the performance of the operator as well as the
safety devices used within the system.
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence
line. DO NOT install an operator on the public side of the gate.
5. The operator is supplied with a current sensing primary entrapment
protection system (See page 7 Additional safety equipment such as electric
edges or photocell sensors must be installed to provide the required
secondary entrapment protection system (See pages 7 & 8). Severe injury or
death can result from entrapment by gate. For assistance in selecting the
correct type of safety equipment, consult the factory.
6. Review the operations of the unit and become familiar with the manual
disconnect mechanism (See Fig. 3).
7. You must install a push-button control or key switch to allow for
normal operation of the gate if the automatic controls do not work. Locate
the push button or key switch and small warning placard within sight of gate
in a secured area at least 10 feet or more from the gate and fence to keep
users away from the moving gate.
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of security type to
prohibit unauthorized use.
B. During Installation
1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch
points.
2. Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric
service connections. Connection locations for controls and safety equipment
can be found on the wiring diagram., and in this manual (See pages 6,7 & 8
3. Know how to operate the manual disconnect mechanism (See Fig. 3).
4. Adjust the open and close current sensors on the PC control board in
each direction to the minimum force required to operate the gate smoothly
(See "PRIMARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICE" Fig. 8). DO NOT increase current
setting to makeup for rough spots in gate travel- FIX THE GATE INSTEAD!
5. Place controls at least 10 feet from the gate so that the user can see
but cannot touch the gate while operating the controls.
6. Place the warning signs provided in high visibility areas on each side
of the gate to alert motorists and pedestrians of automatic gate operation.
C. After Installation
1. You are responsible for ensuring that the end user understands the
basic operations and safety systems of the unit, including the location and
operation of the manual disconnect (See Fig. 3).
2. Point out that the safety instructions in brochure are the
responsibility of the end user, and then leave a copy of this brochure with
the end user.

END-USER SAFETY WARNINGS
The manufacturer of the gate operator does not know what type of gate you
have, or what type of automatic system is installed on your gate. Be sure
you've been fully instructed on the sequence of operation for your specific
gate system(s). Keep gate properly maintained and have a qualified service
person make repairs.
1. Be sure the following safety instructions are distributed to all persons
authorized to use your gate.
2. KEEP GATEWAY CLEAR (Front and back) AT ALL TIMES. Your automatic gate is
not for pedestrian use. No one should ever cross the path of the moving
gate.
3. Do not allow children to play near your gate, or to operate the gate.
4. Do not operate your gate system unless you can see it when the gate
moves.
5. Be sure a push-button or key switch has been installed for manual
electric operation in the event your radio or card control does not work.
Any mounted control station should be located a minimum of 10 feet from the
gate so the gate cannot be reached through or touched. Any push-button
located in a building should be installed within sight of the gate.
6. Your gate system is required to have a primary and a secondary entrapment
safety system installed and maintained (See pages 7 & 8).
7. If your gate closes automatically, loop detectors should be installed on
both sides of gate to detect the presence of a vehicle.
8. DO NOT increase current sensor adjustment to compensate for a damaged
gate. The gate should always be maintained to operate manually as easily as
possible to provide maximum protection.
9. Check all safety systems at least once per month for the correct force,
speed, and sensitivity. Gate must reverse when hitting a rigid object, or
when non-contact sensor is activated. If these functions are observed to
operate improperly, discontinue use and service immediately!
10. Your operator can be mechanically disconnected for emergency manual
operation. Be sure you understand the correct procedure (See Fig. 3).
11. You are responsible for ensuring that warning signs are installed and
maintained on both sides of your gate.
12. To ensure safe operation of this equipment, you must read this safety
manual and keep it for reference.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SWING GATES:
Swing gates have two potential entrapment zones you most avoid:
(1.) Pedestrians should keep clear of path of gate, particularly in the area
before fully closed.
(2.) Pedestrians and animals should keep clear of automatic gate operator at
all times, particularly when the gate is fully open, or moving.
(3.) The area of the gate arm and linkage must be avoided as it can create
an entrapment.
|
 |
INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT: Gate should swing freely and unobstructed before installing
operator.
Note: Instructions are for RIGHT HAND operator installation. For LEFT HAND
operation (See Fig. 1).
|

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: A WARNING: DO NOT APPLY
POWER UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO! RISK OF SHOCK OR INJURY MAY RESULT. Before
connecting the operator, use a voltmeter to determine that the
electrical service is 115 VAC. This operator cannot be connected to 220
volts. Damage will result, which is NOT covered by warranty.
( 1.) Be sure power switches at source and at the operator are OFF.
(2.) Connect incoming power lines and ground wire as follows:
Hot leg (black) to L1; Neutral (white) to L2; Ground to screw.
Note: Wiring to operator must use watertight materials in accordance
with local electric code. |
|
|
|
Note: Master/Slave installation should have SEPARATE power supply wiring. If
sharing a power supply line, obstruction sensing adjustments may require
recalibration. Note: All control wiring is 24 VAC, minimum 22 AWG.
Refer to (Fig. 1) to determine hand of operator required for this
installation. This unit is factory setup for right hand operation.
To convert operator to left hand operation, make certain the power switch
is off, and locate 8-pin motor connection plug in center of control board.
Squeeze locking tabs to remove connector from "RIGHT HAND" socket, and
insert into "LEFT HAND" socket. Operator is now setup for a left hand
installation (See Fig. 7).

 |
|
FOR MASTER/SLAVE INSTALLATION:
Note: A single unit is considered Master.
(1.) Place switch #3 on the master operator's P.C. board in the "OFF"
position (See Fig. 13).
(2.) Place switch #3 on slave operator's P.C. board in the "ON" position.
(See Fig. 13).
(3.) Connect terminal # 15 of Master unit to terminal #5 of slave unit.
(4.) Connect terminal # 16 of Master unit to terminal #6 of slave unit.
(5.) Connect Terminal # 17 of Master unit to terminal #7 of slave unit.
Note: In Master/Slave installation, one unit must be converted to LEFT HAND
operation.
CONNECTION OF A THREE BUTTON STATION:
Note: All control contacts must be NORMALLY OPEN.
Connect "STOP" button to terminal #4
Connect "COMMON" button to terminal #5
Connect "OPEN" button to terminal #6
Connect "CLOSE" to terminal #7
|
|

|
EMERGENCY CONTROL STATION OPTION:
Provision has been made to change the control station operational mode to
one that would only be activated when the entrapment sensing system is in
stop mode; with the warning horn activated. This would give a person access
to control of gate in an emergency situation, but it would be inoperative
under normal circumstances. To activate this option, move switch #I to the
"ON" position (See Fig. 13). Note: When this emergency mode of operation is
activated, the control station functions as a constant pressure control.
PRIMARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICE:
Note: Gate must move smoothly and easily in manual operation before
attempting this adjustment. This unit is supplied with a current sensing
system which will stop gate when activated and then back the gate off
approximately 2 inches and stop. If the gate is started again and the
sensing system is activated a second time before hitting a limit switch, the
gate will stop and sound a warning signal. A constant pressure control will
then be needed to start the gate. This sensing system has adjustments
located on printed circuit board (See Fig. 8). The force required to
activate the system may be adjusted in both OPEN and CLOSE direction
separately. Start at minimum force, and increase force until it is just over
what is required to move the gate smoothly without any nuisance tripping.
NEVER INCREASE FORCE SETTING TO MAKE UP FOR A GATE THAT IS NOT MAINTAINED
PROPERLY. THIS WILL DESENSITIZE THE OPERATION OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM.

SECONDARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICES:
Another sensing device (either a contact or a non-contact system) must be
installed and connected to this unit to increase protection against
entrapment per U/L requirements. See chart at left for terminal connections.
Note: 24 VAC power is available between terminals #1 and #2 for devices that
may require it (i.e., photo eyes, wireless edges, etc.).
CONTACT SENSOR INSTALLATION
(See Fig. 9). |
 |
Note: Wireless sensors must be installed so there is no signal interference.
Note All hard wiring to safety edges must be installed so there is no threat
of mechanical damage to wiring between components, when gate is moving.
|
|

|
|
NON CONTACT SENSOR INSTALLATION: (See Fig. 10). |
 |
|
Note: Install photoelectric cells as close to open and closed position of
gate as possible. Note: Photo cells should be installed, at least 10 inches
above ground, across gate opening and between gate and operator, when gate
is in the open position (See Fig. 10). (1.) After sensors are connected,
turn on power. Note Be prepared to stop operator, if gate goes in wrong
direction or passes its fully open position, in the next step.
(2.) Momentarily press "OPEN" button. Gate should start opening, and stop
when the open limit switch is activated. This will verify that the operator
motor is running in the proper direction.
(3.) If motor is running in wrong direction, turn off electric power at
the source and contact your operator supplier. If operator is functioning
correctly, test the secondary obstruction sensing system for proper
operation.
RADIO CONTROL INSTALLATION: Only a four wire radio control receiver
can be installed on this operator (See Fig. 11) for electrical connections.
This radio control can only be used to open the gate, therefore the "TIMER
TO CLOSE" option must be activated for closing. (See Next Section). Note: If
your radio's connecting wires are not color coded as shown in figure I I see
the radio's installation manual to determine which wires are for the
normally open contacts and which require the 24 VAC power supply.
|
 |
TIMER TO CLOSE: The operator is equipped with a timer to close option
for use with OPEN ONLY control devices such as a radio control, or a card
key control. The adjustment is located on the printed circuit board (See
Fig. 12). The operator is shipped from the factory with this timer preset to
the OFF position; fully counter clockwise. As the timer adjustment screw is
rotated clockwise, the closing of the gate can be delayed from 2 seconds to
60 seconds (See Fig. 12).
Note: If TIMER TO CLOSE option is required after a non-contact sensor is
activated, move switch #2 to "ON" position. If the application requires that
the timer activate only in fully closed position, switch #2 should be in the
"OFF" or NORMAL position (See Fig. 13).
