IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hazards, associated with automatic gates,
can be reduced with proper site design,
installation, and use. Installers, maintenance
crews, and owners/users must read and
follow the safety requirements found in
HySecurity® product manuals.
It is important that only qualifi ed installers
handle installation of HySecurity Gate
vehicular gate operators. A “qualifi ed”
installer has one of the following:
1.
A minimum of three years experience installing
similar equipment.
2.
Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training
seminar within the past three years.
3.
Signifi cant manufacturer endorsements of technical
aptitude in gate operator installation and operation.
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for
current safety standards and regulations regarding
gate operators and automated gates. All aspects of
gate installation must comply with the appropriate
safety standard. For the most up-to-date ASTM F2200
Gate and Fence Standards, refer to www.astm.org. For
UL 325 Safety Standard, refer to www.ul.com. Consult
local government agencies for up-to-date rules and
regulations as certain municipalities have established
licensing, codes or regulations that regulate automated
gate system design and installation.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
A gate operator is only a component in a gate system.
The other parts of the gate system can include the
gate, the external safety sensors, access controls,
and vehicle detectors. To have a gate system that
provides for safety, security, and reliable operation it
is essential these components operate together as a
system. It is the responsibility of the system designer
and/or installer to ensure any safety or operational
issues have been addressed.
