GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
SAFETY CHECK LIST:
•
DO NOT locate any device (key switch, switch, key pad, card
reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person
reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any
manner.
•
Install all devices that will open or close the gate in such a
manner that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN
THE DEVICE IS OPERATED.
•
SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with
the HDSLG on the gate (one on the outside and one on the inside)
where they can be seen by persons in the area of the gate to alert
them of automatic gate operation. (If the user refuses to have the
warning signs installed, Allstar recommends you note this on
your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 2.
•
FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE IT IS LIKELY CHILDREN
WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE AUTOMATIC GATE,
PLACE A WARNING SIGN SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO
PARENTS AND VISITORS TO KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
FROM THE GATE AND NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
ON THE GATE. (If the user refuses to have the sign installed,
Allstar recommends you note this on your records and have the
user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 2.
•
For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES, injuries may occur
when people put arms through the openings or children “ride” the gate
by standing on the chain and holding on to the gate. THIS
POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED BY INSTALLING
A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. See Figure 3.
•
The HDSLG 1000 is a VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR and as
such is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEDESTRIAN traffic. In
installations where pedestrians are likely to be nearby, install a
pedestrian gate and use leading edge detectors and/or photocells
in your design to protect system entrapment zones. Allstar can
provide these products for incorporation in your gate installation.
•
CANTILEVERED ROLLER GATES WITH OPEN ROLLERS
HAVE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF HANDS AND
FINGERS BEING PINCHED between the open roller and the
pole that the roller rides upon. PROTECT THIS "PINCH
POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See Figure 4.
•
CONSIDER ALL OTHER "PINCH POINTS" IN YOUR
DESIGN of the gate system, such as the “pocket” of a sliding
gate. Use protective measures to reduce hazards at these
locations. See Figure 4.
•
When using the “timer to close” option of the HDSLG, install
VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS, VEHICLE DETECTORS,
REVERSING EDGE SYSTEMS AND/OR PHOTOCELLS.
Read the manual for information on the installation of these
devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON
A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.
•
Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security type
to prevent unauthorized use of the system.
•
Make sure the gate operating system is placed far enough back
from the road to eliminate traffic backup. The distance from the
road, size of the gate, usage level and gate cycle/speed must be
taken into consideration to eliminate potential hazards.
•
Check the operator manufacturer’s specification to ensure the
operator is proper for the cycles per hour, size and type of gate.
•
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR BELTS
AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed. Apply
power to the operator only when instructed to do so.
•
Before activating the "timer to close" option of the operator,
ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT DEVICES
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW
ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND
GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS!
