The operator is intended for use on a VEHICULAR slide gate ONLY. It is intended to be used WITH appropriate entrapment
protection safety devices and in-ground vehicle loop detection system. This operator has a inherent entrapment protection
system and requires additional external monitored entrapment protection devices (Non-contact Photocells or contact sensing
edges) for each entrapment area prior to gate operation.
Pedestrians MUST use a separate entrance.
The gate operator IS NOT intended to be used on a
PEDESTRIAN gate.
In-Ground Loops: Help
protect the gate operator
from accidentally opening
and/or closing on vehicles
in the gate’s path
Opening Direction Photocell: Helps
guard against the opening gate from
entrapment.
Physical Stops:
Install on both ends of gate
rail to limit the travel of
gate to the fully open and
fully closed positions.
Opening Direction 10K Sensing Edge: Helps guard against the opening gate from entrapment. (Wireless)
Opening Direction 10K Sensing Edge: Helps guard against the
opening gate from entrapment between wall and gate.
Closing Direction Photocell: Helps
protect the gate operator from
accidentally closing on vehicles in the
gate’s closing path.
Closing Direction 10K Sensing Edge: Helps protect the gate operator
from accidentally closing on vehicles in the gate’s closing path. (Wireless)
Wire Mesh: 2” x 2” at least 6 ft high. Installed on gate when the space between the gate pickets is MORE
than 2 1/4”. See “A2” on previous page for more information.
Gate Pickets: The space between the gate pickets should be LESS than 2 1/4” or wire mesh should be installed.
