Important safetY InformatIon
WARNING
Read all the product safety information prior to installation. Automatic gate operators move the gate with high force and
can cause serious injury and death! Make sure the automatic gate operator is installed to reduce the risks of entrapment.
Verify the gate operator is installed to comply with all safety standards and local and federal regulations.
Understand that you as the site designer, installer, maintenance crew, or owner/user must consider the risks asso-
ciated with gate operators. Be sure to take responsibility, read, and follow the Important Safety Information in this
manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use. Install-
ers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety requirements found in the HySecurity
product manuals.
It is important that only qualified installers handle the installation of the HySecurity equipment and gate operator.
A “qualified” installer has one of the following:
• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment
• Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years
• Significant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for
current safety standards and regulations regarding automatic vehicular gate operators. To pass certification, all
aspects of gate operator and gate installation must comply with the appropriate safety standards.
For the most up-to-date ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to www.astm.org.
For UL 325 Safety Standards, refer to www.ul.com.
WARNING
A moving gate or barrier arm, bollard, or wedge can cause serious injury or death. In the following safety information, the
term “gate” refers to the hardware that the automatic gate operator is moving: gate, barrier arm, bollard, or wedge.
To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Read the gate operator’s product manual and review all the
product labels and literature prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the automatic gate operator.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio transmit-
ters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate or gate operators.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING GATE. Start the gate operator only when a gate’s travel path is clear.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an
object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
operator. Perform routine tests of the entrapment protection sensors, such as photo eyes and gate edges.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
