INSTALLATION
Install the gate operator when:
• Operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and usage class is correct for the
installation.
• All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
• Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
• All openings of horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a
minimum of 6 feet (1.83m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2mm) diameter sphere
from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence
that the gate covers in the open position.
• The gate is a vehicular gate. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
• The gate is installed in a location where enough space is supplied between adjacent structures and
the gate that when opening or closing the chance of entrapment is reduced.
• All controls are located at least six feet away from the gate to eliminate the chance of the person
operating the gate from coming in contact with the moving gate. Do not install external buttons,
which can be used to operate the gate within the reach of children.
• Safety Signs are installed, one on each side of the gate and visible in the gate area.
• All hard wired sensors used for monitored entrapment protection devices and their wiring are
installed in a manner which protects them from mechanical damage.
• All wireless sensors used for monitored entrapment protection devices are located so that the signal
from the transmitter to the receiver is not interfered with by adjacent structures. All exposed wiring
must also be protected from mechanical damage.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
• Do not test or operate this unit without rst ensuring that all hardware is correctly installed, limit nuts
are securely locked in place with the limit locking plate and all objects are clear of sprockets and
chain.
• Do not perform any welding with the control board or the battery connected. Serious damage to the
control board and/or battery can occur if attempted.
• Loose clothing can get caught in chain and sprockets resulting in bodily harm.
MONITORED ENTRAPMENT DEVICES
USAutomatic designs all control boards with monitored entrapment device inputs.
USAutomatic recommends installation of monitored UL325_2016 listed external entrapment
devices for all installations. This is required for a compliant UL325_2016 installation.
