SAFETY STANDARDS - INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY
Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility
•
Study the entire contents of this manual prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the FoldSmart
gate system. Taking extra time to align the gate system and verify a fully functional installation will
reduce maintenance, guarantee longest system life, and ensure customer satisfaction.
•
Verify the gate system usage class for the site. Refer to
“Identifying Gate System Category and Usage
for gate classifications. Install FoldSmart only when the gate system class is
correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
•
Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards.
•
Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and
moves freely. A gate that swings easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play
no part in the opening or closing of the gate.
• Make sure there is a separate walk-through entrance nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path
is designated and signs direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate. The automated gate entry is for
vehicle use only. No one should cross the path of a moving gate.
•
Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate
must be:
- Located in a clear line of sight to the gate.
- Mounted beyond 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the gate to prevent users from touching or accessing the
gate while operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching through or
around the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
- Incorporate a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
•
The gate system must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the junction box.
•
Install enough external entrapment protection sensors so that pedestrians are protected from
entrapment in both directions of the gate travel and all hazard areas and possible pinch points are
fully protected. Review the information found in External Entrapment Protection Sensors.
•
Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate so they are clearly visible
from both sides of the gate. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.
•
Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user will have a clear view of the gate. Refer to
. Connect radio and other remote access (non
-
resetting controls) to the
RADIO OPEN terminal.
