INSTALLATION
Install the gate operator when:
• Operatorisappropriatefortheconstructionofthegateandusageclassiscorrectforthe
installation.
• Allexposedpinchpointsareeliminatedorguarded.
• Thegateisavehiclegate.Pedestriansmustbesuppliedwithaseparateaccessopening.
• Thegateisinstalledinalocationwhereenoughspaceissuppliedbetweenadjacentstructuresand
thegatethatwhenopeningorclosingthechanceofentrapmentisreduced.
• Thegatedoesnotswingintopublicaccessareas.
• Thegateisproperlyinstalledandswingsfreelyinbothdirections.Donotoveradjustthesensitivity
adjustmenttocompensateforanimpropergateinstallation.
• Allcontrolsarelocatedatleastsixfeetawayfromthegatetoeliminatethechanceoftheperson
operatingthegatefromcomingincontactwiththemovinggate.Donotinstallexternalbuttons,
whichcanbeusedtooperatethegatewithinthereachofchildren.
• Placardsareinstalled,oneoneachsideofthegateandvisibleinthegatearea.
• Allcontactsensorsusedforsecondaryentrapmentsafetydevicesandtheirwiringisinstalledina
mannerwhichprotectsthemfrommechanicaldamage.
• Allnon-Contactsensorsusedforsecondaryentrapmentsafetydevicesarelocatedsothatthe
signalfromthetransmittertothereceiverisnotinterferedwithbyadjacentstructures.Allexposed
wiringmustalsobeprotectedfrommechanicaldamage.
SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT DEVICES
USAutomatic designs all control boards with secondary entrapment inputs. USAutomatic
recommends that UL325 listed secondary safety devices be installed with all installations.
USAutomaticrecommendsthatthesedevicesbeconnectedafterpropergateinstallationand
operationhasbeenveried.Thenconnectonedeviceatatimetoverifyproperoperationbefore
installingthenextdevice.Ensurethatpowerisdisconnectedfromthecontrolboardpriortowiring
