SAFETY STANDARDS - INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY
Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility
• Study the enre contents of this manual prior to installing, operang, or maintaining the Kinec gate
operator. Taking extra me to align the gate operator and verify a fully funconal installaon will
reduce maintenance, guarantee longest system life, and ensure customer sasfacon.
• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. Refer to “Idenfying Gate Operator Category and
Usage Class” on page 27. Install Kinec only when the gate operator class is correct for the site
and type of gate.
• Install an automac operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards.
- All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate’s base support to a minimum
height of 4 feet (122cm) above the ground. This must prevent a sphere of 2.2 inches (57mm) in
diameter from passing through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the
gate’s open posion.
- Physical stops exist in the gate construcon to prevent over-travel in both direcons and guard posts
prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.
• Before aaching the operator to the gate, slide the gate in both direcons. Make sure it is level and
moves freely. A gate that slides easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no
part in the opening or closing of the gate.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.
• To reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the enre travel path, make sure the gate is installed in
a locaon so enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or
closing. Minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
• Make sure a separate walk-through entrance is nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is
designated and signs direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate. The automated gate entry is for
vehicle use only. No one should cross the path of a moving gate.
• Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close,
Stop/ Reset) where a user will have a clear view of the gate.
• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate
must be:
- Located in a clear line of sight to the gate.
- Mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm) of the gate, to prevent users from touching or accessing the gate
while operang the controls. People aempng to access the controls by reaching through or around
the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
