IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMUNICATE TO OWNERS/USERS
Important Safeguards and Instrucons to Communicate to
Owners/Users
The following informaon is to be explained to the owners and users.
• Explain that a SpeedGate will sound an audible alarm for 2 seconds prior to any gate movement, and
while the gate is in moon. Addional warning devices, both visual and audible, are available for
integraon into the gate controller. The UL 325 Safety Standard specically requires that edge sensors
or photoelectric eyes or a combinaon of both devices be installed to protect against pedestrian
entrapment in BOTH direcons of the gate travel and where an entrapment hazard exists.
When you complete the installaon, instruct the owner/users as follows:
• How to operate the SpeedGate correctly and safely.
• To not allow pedestrians and/or bicycles to use the SpeedGate.
• To never allow children to play around the gate, or to have access to controls of the SpeedGate.
• How to disconnect power from the gate.
Gate system instrucons must be
given to the owner per UL 325 Safety
Standards.
• If a Pedestrian Gate is supplied, locate it far enough away from this gate system so as not to have
it ence pedestrians to make use of the vehicular gate, or travel near the moving gate panel, even
when in the fully open posion.
• Always specify, as part of a complete gate system, the addional safety devices that can reduce the
risk to pedestrians in the area of the SpeedGate.
• The gate system is only one component of the total gate operang system. It is the joint responsibility
of the architect, site designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is
appropriately congured for its intended use. Addionally, certain municipalies have established
licensing, codes or regulaons that regulate automated gate system design and installaon. Consult
local government agencies for up-to-date rules and regulaons prior to gate system design or
installaon.
SpeedGates are not for pedestrian use. Always provide a separate pedestrian gate
that is located away from the SpeedGate so as not to aract pedestrian use of the
SpeedGate. Ensure proper signage is posted direcng 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.
