Wallace Perimeter Security SPEEDGATE - Safety Considerations for Designers, Installers and Users

SPEEDGATE Installation and Maintenance Manual Revision 1 - MAY 2023
17
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR DESIGNERS, INSTALLERS AND USERS
• Have a professional gate installer rounely test the enre gate system and entrapment protecon
sensors. Have a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware to keep the gate running
smoothly.
• Hazards associated with automac gates can be reduced with proper site design, installaon, and use.
Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety Instrucons in this
manual and review all the literature that accompanies this product. It is important that only qualied
installers handle the installaon of the SpeedGate gate system. A “qualied” installer has one of the
following:
‒ A minimum of three years’ experience installing similar equipment.
‒ Proof of aending a Wallace Perimeter Security Technical Training seminar within the past three
years.
‒ Signicant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptude in gate system installaon and
operaon.
• Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Tesng and Materials (ASTM) are
responsible for current safety standards and regulaons regarding gate systems and automated
gates. To pass UL cercaon, all aspects of gate installaon must comply with the appropriate safety
standards. For the most up-to-date, ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to hps://www.
astm.org/. For UL 325 Safety Standard, refer to hps://www.ul.com/.
Safety Consideraons for Designers, Installers and Users
A moving gate can cause serious injury
or death. Automac gate systems
move gates with high force. Make sure
gates and gate systems are installed
to reduce the risks of entrapment.
Verify your gate system complies with
UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM
F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Ask for a copy of the gate system’s
product literature and review it. You
are responsible for educang all gate
system users about proper use of the
automated gate system. Failure to
adjust and test the gate system on a
regularly maintained schedule can
increase the risk of injury or death.
