INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTERLOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
There are two kinds of interlocks that can be used on vertical gates, depending on the
application and/or local codes. Determine which style of interlock that will be installed
before proceeding further.
SOLENOID INTERLOCK (Refer to Figure 13)
WARNING !
Never run the unit with the gates or doors open! The gates must
not open when the lift is in operation or when the platform is not
present. Should this condition exist, the interlock circuit is not
functioning properly due to incorrect installation of, or damage
to, status switches and/or interlocking components. This
condition must be corrected immediately. Failure to correct this
condition may result in serious injury or death.
DANGER !
Qualified personnel only!! Only qualified service personnel
should perform procedures labeled as “dangerous”!
The solenoid interlock can be used on both single and bi-panel vertical acting gates.
Installation of the interlock and the gate status switch are to be accomplished after the
gate has been erected and secured in position.
1. After checking the gate for proper operation, attach the solenoid mounting bracket to
the mounting plate on the gate post with four ¼” –20 UNC screws that have been
supplied as shown.
2. Make sure that the solenoid is secure in the set collar, being seated fully against the
shoulder of the bracket.
CAUTION !
Do not over tighten. Over tightening the set screw will inhibit
solenoid bolt operation.
