The 7251 and 7351 gate operators both feature a quick release system designed to allow the gate to be manually
opened under different operating conditions (see next page).
However, it is the responsibility of the gate owner to make sure that the gate operating system is compliant with
all local codes and regulations and that access for emergency vehicles is assured.
•
During normal operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by using an emergency vehicle access device
installed on your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent on local city
codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes, Click-2-Enter radio
receivers, strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc.
•
Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up power system. In the
event of a primary (AC) power failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead batteries for
example), the system must have a quick release system to allow the gate to be manually operated. The release
device must be accessible from either side of the gate and must be present so that emergency personnel can
gain access through the gate under this condition.
•
The 7251 and 7351 gate operators are equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to
be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equipment failure. In the event of a power failure, the
emergency vehicle access device may not be functional because the gate operator is not powered.
•
For manual fail-safe gate operation, turn power to the operator OFF. If a backup power system is in use, be sure
that this power is turned OFF also or disconnected. Once power is OFF, the gate can be manually operated,
by releasing the actuator mechanical release described on the next page.

EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
NOTE:
DC powered back-up systems are optional and your gate system may or may not be equipped with
one. Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up power system.
