For full UL 325 compliance, place one or more warning signs so that they are clearly visible to
anyone near the gate on either side. Such signs should warn of the possibility of serious injury
or death from the moving gate, warn against allowing children nearby, and guide pedestrians to
keep clear and use a separate entrance. As potential pinch points, access to exposed wheels
must also be restricted using roller guards. Similarly, the gate and nearby fence or wall must be
constructed so that they do not provide ANY openings below a height of 4 feet (1.2 m) above
thegroundwherea2¼″(5.8cm)diameterspherewouldbeabletopassthrough.
6. Provide a separate gate for pedestrians if needed. Once automated, the main gate should

marked from the area of the gate, but it should be located safely away from the main gate’s
range of motion.
7. Provide a stable, compatible, and well-grounded power connection for the gate opener. The
motor’s outlet should be within sight of the gate, protected from the elements, and equipped
with a GFCI, RCD, or circuit breaker. It should be at least 3 feet (1 m) high to minimize damage
from weather. If possible, place the outlet higher than 5 feet (1.5 m) to limit access by children
and animals.
It is recommended that any wiring near the gate run underground inside PVC pipe or conduit
to minimize any possibility of tripping or accidental damage. If you will be using additional wire
to extend the length of the provided power cord, be sure to keep all connections clean and well
insulated. Any additional wiring for the outlet or power connection should be a 3-core cable
at least 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) thick. If your gate’s position is further than 300 feet (90 m) from
the nearest power source, the wire should be at least 14 AWG (2.5 mm²) thick. At distances
beyond 1000 feet or 300 m, a professional electrician should be consulted to safely deal with
the expected voltage drop.
ONLY make and adjust electrical connections while all lines are fully disconnected from
power.
ALWAYSconrmBEFORE digging that each area is free of underground utility lines or
that any such lines have been deactivated and cleared to allow safe work.

as a Type A entrapment protection and an attentive user and the device remote function together
as a Type B1 non-contact sensor. Users should also install the provided infrared sensors (W),
especially if any additional access method is added.
To use the infrared sensors, prepare locations for them on opposite sides of your gate. They
shouldbedirectlyacrossfromoneanotheratleast6′7″(2m)apartbutnofurtherapartthan40
feet (12 m). If possible, they should be placed where they will be shielded from direct sunlight.
Remove the sensors’ housing to mark position where pilot holes will need to be drilled for their
support bolts (not included).
Each sensor will need a connection to the circuit board and a source of 12V or 24V DC power.
This can be provided from the motor circuit board’s +15V pin (7) or separately. The signal line
from the receiver—the sensor with the three 2-pin terminals—and any power lines should
be prepared ahead of time. Additional wires should be at least 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) thick. If
possible, these lines and those from any other control or access system should also be placed
underground inside a PVC pipe or conduit separate from the one used for the motor’s own
power cord. Again, all wiring connections should be insulated and protected to withstand rain
and inclement weather.
