The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that
persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
(ref. UL 325 56.8.4.b)
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are
guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to
a minimum of six (6) feet (1.83 m) above the ground
to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere
from passing through the openings anywhere in the
gate and in that portion of the adjacent fence that
the gate covers in the open position.
