Site, Gate, Equipment and Regulatory Requirements
‰
The gate moves freely in both directions. Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to
compensate for a stiff gate.
‰
The operator will be installed on the secured (non-public) side of the gate.
‰
The operator will be properly electrically grounded and the intended supply voltage matches the
voltage label on the operator.
‰
The controls that operate the gate have been mounted far enough away from the moving gate
such that users cannot touch the gate while operating the controls. All easily accessible controls
must have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
‰
The operator controls will be located in a clear line-of-sight to the gate. Radio controls and other
remote access controls must be connected only to the Remote Open input.
‰
The required external entrapment sensors will be installed. Be certain to carefully review the
instructions for placement, installation and adjustment of these external entrapment sensors.
External entrapment sensors must function to reverse the movement of the gate in both the
opening and closing directions.
If edge (contact) sensors are used, they are to be mounted on
the leading and trailing edges of the gate, as well as post mounted on the inside and outside of the
gate (See figure on page 4). If photo eyes or other non-contact sensors are used, they are to be
mounted in locations most likely to guard against entrapment. A combination of contact and non-
contact sensors may be used, but all must be recognized components under the UL 325 standard.
See pages 31 and 32 for details on the requirements.
‰
If the Entrapment protection is provided by a continuous pressure actuation control, a placard
stating “WARNING” – “Moving Gate has the Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start
Gate Unless Path is Clear” must be posted. Additionally, no other activation device shall be
connected and an automatic closing device of any kind shall not be used.
‰
The automatic operator is labeled as appropriate for both the type and UL usage class of the gate.
Note:
Sliding gate operators installed in Class I & II applications must not move the gate faster
than one foot per second.
Class I: Intended to serve single to four family residential uses
Class II: Multi-family use, or any application intended to serve the general public
Class III: Commercial applications not intended to serve the general public
Class IV: Highest security. Security personnel prevent unauthorized access
‰
Sliding gate operators installed in Class III & IV applications do not have a speed restriction and
the secondary entrapment sensor requirement is met if the system is configured as described for
Class I & II use, or by the following alternate means: Employ the use of a 100dB buzzer, which
sounds at least 3 seconds before the gate moves, and/or functions only by use of a constant
hold type push button control.
