SITE PREPARATION
INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN EXPERT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AND IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH
CURRENT REGULATIONS. Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 standards.
Before installation, perform the following:
1
Make sure you have a suitable omnipolar cut-off device with contacts more than 1/32” in (3 mm) apart, and independent (sectioned off) power supply.
2
Fix tubing to drain away any water leaks which may cause oxidation.
3
Make sure the structure of the gate is sturdy, the hinges work and that there is no friction between moving and non-moving parts.
4
Make sure that there is a mechanical stop for closing.
5
Check that any connections inside the container (that provide continuity to the safety circuit) are fitted with additional insulation compared to other internal live parts.
6
Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the electrical cables to pass through and be protected against mechanical damage.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS
Make sure you have all the tools and materials required for the installation. The
installation should be completed in accordance with all national and local standards
and regulations.
The following tools may be needed for your installation:
NOTE:
If the length of the wire differs from that specified in the table, then you
must determine the proper wire gauge based on the actual power draw of the
devices connected and the local electrical codes. For connections that require several,
sequential loads, the sizes provided in the table must be re-evaluated based on
actual power draw and distances. When connecting products that are not specified in
this manual, refer to the instructions provided with said products.
NOTE:
Use copper conductors only.
