UL325 Safety Requirements
Denitions
ENTRAPMENT: The condition when a person is
caught or held in a position that increases the risk of
injury.
REQUIREMENTS
• Do not install operator in a manner in which
the arm moves within 16 in. (406 mm) of a rigid
object in a location up to 6 ft. (1.8m) above
the grade. Examples include walls, ceilings,
guard shacks, and posts. Doing so creates an
entrapment zone.
• It is the responsibility of the trained gate
systems technician/installer to identify and
eliminate all possible hazards including pinch
points and entrapment zones at the installation
site.
• All installations must have the provided warning
signs in plain view form both sides of the barrier
arm to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized barrier arm systems. See page 40.
• Do not install any signage or anything other than the optional devices such as LEDs, foam edging, edge sensor, or
wireless transmitter recommended by the manufacturer, on the moving barrier arm.
• Ensure 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.
