Installation
WARNING
• The entrance is for vehicular trac ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use a separate entrance.
• Do not install operator in a manner in which the barrier arm moves within 16 in. (406 mm) of a rigid object in a
location up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) above the grade. Examples include walls, ceilings, guard shacks, and posts. Doing so
creates an entrapment zone.
• Ensure the barrier arm, when open, does not come in close position to high voltage power wires that may be
located above or near the barrier arm gate area.
Site Preparation
Recommendations for site preparation for barrier arm gate operator installation. Every installation is unique. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure the barrier arm gate operator is installed in a safe manner. If the area surrounding
the barrier arm gate operator is expected to have high pedestrian trac, it is recommended that safety devices, such
as Liftmaster photoelectric sensors or wireless edge sensors, be installed at the site.

A Caution Lines Permanently x caution lines under travel of arm indicating a no stopping or standing zone.
When the swingaway mounting style is used, the swing radius of the arm should be marked on
the pavement with caution lines.
B Speed Bump Permanently x speed bump on both sides of roadway at a straight angle, to slow trac. At
minimum of 6 feet away from barrier arm.
C UL Warning
Signs (Two
Required)
Permanently x the two required UL warning signs in the area of the barrier arm gate operator.
Each warning sign is to be visible by persons located on each side of the barrier arm gate
operator on which the warning sign is installed. See page 40.
D Pedestrian
Access
If pedestrian trac is in the vicinity of the barrier arm gate operator, a separate pedestrian
entry/exit must be clearly visible to promote pedestrian usage and located so pedestrians
do not come in contact with the barrier arm. Partition/barrier from vehicular trac is
recommended when possible. See callout H.
E Speed Limit
Sign
Recommend installing a permanently xed lighted speed limit sign within line of sight from both
sides of roadway. Recommended 5mph.
F Perimeter
Lighting
Recommend installing perimeter lighting to create awareness of the area surrounding the
barrier operator. If the swingaway mounting style is used, the lighting should be placed outside
the swing radius of the arm.
G Cameras Install cameras to record operation and deter unwanted operation.
H Partition/
Barrier
Separation between vehicle and foot trac.
I Exit, or
Reversing
Loop
Protect property and manage the ow of trac with an inground loop that reverses a closing
arm for vehicle detection.
