Site Preparation
Check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation. Refer also to the Site Planning Safety Checklist in the Appendix.
Concrete Pads
Safety
Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any entrapment
or safety conditions encountered in your gate application. Install a warning
sign (two provided) on the inside and outside of the property, where easily
visible.
Warning Sign
Gate
Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200
standards (refer to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator
(refer to specifications).
SAFETY CATCH ROLLERS
Install catch rollers with safety covers
on the side of a post or wall with a
minimal distance of half an inch
between the rollers and gate
DO NOT use a gate catch post.
Because the coasting distance may
vary due to changes in temperature, it
is NOT recommended to install a
catch post in front of the gate's path.
To do so will cause the gate to hit the
post in certain instances.
Additional Accessories
The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing
the gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or longer. Vehicle loops
are not required but are recommended. Before installing your Access Control
Device(s) be sure to complete a site survey and determine the best device for
your site needs.
