The IntelliSlide X6 Slide Gate Operator is a residential/commercial slide gate operator.
1) Install the gate operator only when:
•
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate (see the ASTM F2200
standard) and the usage UL Class of the gate,
•
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of
the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch
(57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the
gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open
position,
•
Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
•
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded
2) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be
supplied with a separate access opening.
3) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate
and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Sliding gates
shall not open “into” public access areas.
4) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of
the gate operator. Do not increase the operator amperage levels beyond the required operable
amounts to compensate for a damaged gate.
5) For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
•
The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate
area when the gate is moving,
•
The placard be placed adjacent to the controls,
•
An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall
not be employed
•
No other activation device shall be connected.
6) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact
with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after
2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line-
of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.
7) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate. A
minimum of two placards shall be installed. A placard is to be installed in the area of each side of
the gate and be visible to persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard is installed.
8) For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam:
•
See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of
application,
•
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a
vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving
