Owner's Manual

To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s Gate Operator:
Thank you for choosing the RSX1000 gate operator 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 of the RSX1000 Gate Operator System are available
for everyone who will be using your gate system.
The two warning signs shipped with your Gate Operator (See Figure 4,
Page 5 of this manual). They 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 which
present the basic guidelines for the safest operation of your gate
operator system.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !
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.
