Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. The HydraSwing
incorporates a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) into its design per UL 325 Safety Standards.
When the IES trips, it sends a signal to the gate operator to stop and reverse direction. This feature may be
falsely triggered in excessively windy conditions because the wind itself, acting over the surface area of the
gate panel, can provide the necessary force to trigger the IES.
•
Check gate operator specifications. If the gate is heavy and near the weight capacity of what the gate
operator can handle, make sure the gate has an open design that allows wind to flow through it. A
solid gate, under certain wind load conditions, may cause damage to the gate operator and is not
covered by the HySecurity Warranty.
• Do NOT adjust the IES sensitivity to accommodate for inappropriately designed gate panels. Loss of
IES sensitivity increases mechanical wear on the gate hardware and the gate operator. It may also pose
a safety hazard.
NOTICE:
Under certain wind load conditions, damage to the gate or gate operator may occur and is not covered
by the HySecurity Warranty.
