SAFETY SECTION
USAutomatic gate operators are certified to UL325 Vehicular Class I, II, III and IV swing gate standards.
UL325 identifies four different classes of gate operators these classes are listed below:
Class I:
Residential vehicular gate operator- vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one to four single
family dwellings or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
Class II: Commercial/General access vehicular gate operator- vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a commercial
location or building such as multi-family housing unit (five or more single family units), hotel garages, retail, or other
buildings servicing the general public.
Class III: Industrial/Limited access vehicular gate operator- vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an industrial
location or building such as a factory or loading dock area or other locations not intended to serve the general public.
Class IV: Restricted Access vehicular gate operator- vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a guarded industrial
location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the general public, in
which unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.
INSTALLATION
¾ Install the gate operator when:
¾ Operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and usage class is correct for the installation.
¾ All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
¾ Only install on vehicle gates, pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
¾ The gate is installed in a location where enough space is supplied between adjacent structures and the

NOTE: USAutomatic recommends that these devices be connected after proper gate installation and operation
has been verified. Then connect one device and verify proper operation before installing the next device.
Ensure that power is disconnected from the control board prior to wiring any accessory.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate.
4. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
5. Test gate operator monthly. The gate must stop and reverse directions upon contacting a rigid object or when the
secondary entrapment device is activated.
6. After all adjustments have been made to the sensitivity (current sense) circuit, secondary entrapment devices and
all other external devices installed the safety devices must be checked again. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator can increase the risk of injury or death.
7. Verify that the emergency release (manual release) pin can be easily removed.
8. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Tighten all bolts and grease hinges and pivot points.
9. THE ENTRANCE IS TO BE USED BY VEHICLES ONLY. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
