Important Information for Gate System Owners & Users
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all
instructions in the gate operator handbook and on the warning labels.
Save These Important Owner and User Instructions:
(Installers – be certain to instruct the owners and users about the
following items)
‰
Automatic gates are for vehicular use only! Provide walkways and
signs to direct pedestrians to a separate walk-through entrance.
Because an automatic gate can start at any time without warning,
always keep people away from the area of the gate. The Warning
signs that have been supplied with this operator must remain
installed, in manner clearly visible on both sides of the gate.
‰
Never allow children to use or play with controls that operate the
gate. Keep all remote controls, especially radio transmitters,
away from children.
‰
Teach all users how to turn off the electric power and how to
release and move the gate manually. Use the manual release
only when the gate is not moving.
‰
Test the function of the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse its direction of travel
upon contact with a rigid object, and/or stop upon a sensing a 2
nd sequential activation prior to
reaching a full travel limit. Also test for the normal function of any non-contact sensors. If the
gate system employs the use of a transmitting edge sensor, be especially certain to test and
replace its battery on a routine basis.
‰
KEEP AUTOMATIC GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a professional gate installer
perform routine tests of the entrapment protection sensors, such as photo eyes and gate edges.
Also, make all necessary repairs to the gate hardware to keep the gate running smoothly.
Failure to adjust and test a gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
‰
In addition to appropriately placed external entrapment sensors, ask your installer to reduce the
setting of the pressure relief valve to the lowest setting allowable that reliably operates the gate.
This valve controls the force of the operator, and the sensitivity of the inherent reversing sensor.
‰ Do not physically disable the Warning Buzzer and never disconnect or cut its wires. The
buzzer is required to function in event of entrapment, regardless of UL 325 classification. If
modification of the buzzer function is required, the operational modes for the buzzer (warn before
operate, etc.) can be selected within the Smart Touch menu settings.
