You are now ready to install and connect the auxiliary
equipment. INSTALLATION STEPS DETAILED IN
SECTIONS A, B, C AND D MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
1. Vehicle Detectors: If a Vehicle Detector (Reversing
Loop) is to be a part of this installation, start with this
first. Connect the vehicle detector to AC power and the
loop in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
and the information contained in this manual. Do not
connect to the terminal strip of the Tower at this time.
Test the vehicle detector independently using the presence
lamp on the front panel of the detector and a metal plate
over the loop. When you are satisfied that the detector is
working properly, connect the output wires to terminals 4
and 5 on the control panel of the Tower.
Give the gate an open command and allow the close timer
to start the gate to close. Place the metal plate over the
loop and observe that the gate stops and reopens.
2. Installing other entry devices: After you are satisfied that all the
loops are functioning properly, proceed with the installation of the
additional devices, such as a radio receiver or deluxe wall station.
Connect the radio receiver as described on page 10.

INSTALLATION NOTES FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s Gate Operator:
Thank you for choosing an Allstar product. We are confident you
will have many years of use and satisfaction with your gate operator.
Our Gate Operator is part of your unique gate operating system,
which may consist of a variety of components, including the gate, the
gate tracks, posts, and electronic features. These components
combined present certain risks and safety issues of which you, the
end user, must be aware.
Each unique system presents a unique set of hazards which we
cannot possibly address individually. These instructions will help
you to identify the potential risks and safety issues your gate operator
system presents, and guide you as you make your system as safe as
possible for everyone who uses it.
Your first step is to consider the intended use of the gate system,
who will be using the gate system, and in what manner the system is
installed. You should have a clear understanding of how often the
gate will be opened, who will be opening it, whether children and the
general public will be near the gate system, and how close the gate
system is to public property. Once you have answered these
questions, you are ready to decide what safety measures must be
taken to prevent injury.
To minimize the risk of entrapment in your gate system, install the
following safety features:
•
Electric gate edges
•
Enclosed tracks
•
Vertical guard posts
•
Protective screen mesh
•
Photoelectric sensors
•
Instructional and precautionary signs
•
Covers for exposed rollers
Each safety feature is a separate component in your gate system.
Read and follow all instructions for each of the components of your
unique system. Ensure that all instructions for mechanical
components, safety features and the Allstar Gate Operator are
available for everyone who will be using your gate system.
The two warning signs shipped with your Gate Operator (See Figure
2, Page 4 of this manual) must be installed in prominent positions on
both sides of your gate. Keep them clean and legible.
Read and follow the safety points on this and the following page
ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE
INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM.

PRECAUTIONS FOR
PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC OR
RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The internal operator overload
sensor may not be adequate
entrapment protection in all
situations to prevent arm, leg, or hand
injuries. Padded electric gate edges, roller
guards, pneumatic gate edges, or
photoelectric sensors are therefore
necessary when automatic gates are used
near pedestrian traffic. See the figure
below. Use of pedestrian walk gate is
mandatory where there is nearby
pedestrian traffic.
