Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility
A moving gate can cause serious
injury or death. Automac gate
operators move gates with high
force. Make sure gates and gate
operators are installed to reduce
the risks of entrapment. Verify your
gate and gate operator comply with
UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM
F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Ask for a copy of the gate operator's
product literature and review it.
You are responsible for educang
all gate system users about proper
use of the automated gate system.
• Automac gates are for vehicular use only;
provide and maintain walkways and signs
to direct pedestrians to a separate walk-
through entrance.
• An automac gate can start at any me
without warning; always keep people away
from the gate area.
• Never let children operate or play with
gate controls. Keep all remote controls,
especially radio transmiers, away from
children. Do not allow children to play on
or around the gate or gate operators.
• Learn how to turn the power on and o.
Learn how to manually release the gate.
Before aempng a manual release,
make sure the gate is not moving.
• WARNING signs supplied with the gate operator
must remain installed and clearly visible on
both sides of the gate. The signs are required
to maintain UL 325 compliance.
• Do not physically disable the warning buzzer
and NEVER disconnect or cut its wires. The
buzzer is required to funcon in the event of
entrapment, regardless of UL 325 gate usage
class. It provides an alert that the gate is
about to move. Disabling the warning buzzer
may increase the risk or extent of injury if
entrapment occurs.
• Test the gate operator monthly. Specically,
test the Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) and
external entrapment protecon sensors. The
gate must reverse its direcon of travel upon
contact with a rigid object and/or stop when an
object acvates the non-contact sensors. Aer
adjusng the force or the limit of travel, retest
the gate operator. Failure to adjust and test
the gate operator on a regularly maintained
schedule can increase the risk of injury or
death.
• Have a professional gate installer rounely
test the enre gate operator and entrapment
protecon sensors. Have a qualied service
person make repairs to gate hardware to keep
the gate running smoothly.
