Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. Solid gate panels pro-
duce a larger wind load than gates with slats or open decorative features. If you are installing a gate operator in
high wind areas, the gate design may affect the load on the gate operator. Because wind force acts the same as
an obstruction, it is important that gates be designed to present a relatively low surface area for the wind to push
on the gate panel.
In the case of the StrongArmPark DC, it is always advisable to raise the barrier arm or remove it altogether when
high winds are anticipated. Under certain wind load conditions, damage to the barrier arm or gate operator may
occur and is not covered by the HySecurity Limited Warranty.
Another option in high wind load areas, a catch post may be installed to keep the barrier from bending in the
wind.
StrongArmPark DC incorporates a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) into its design per UL 325
Safety Standards. (More information about adjusting the adaptive IES software can be found in this manual under,
Adjusting the IES Sensitivity.) When the IES trips, it sends a signal to the gate operator to stop and reverse direc-
tion. This feature may be falsely triggered in excessively windy conditions.
