SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Safety Requirements
Automatic gate systems provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can
produce high levels of force, it is imperative that gate system designers, installers and end users be aware of
potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. The gate system
is only one component of the total gate operating system. It is the joint responsibility of the architect, site
designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is appropriately configured for
its intended use. Additionally, certain municipalities have established licensing, codes or regulations that
regulate automated gate system design and installation. Consult local government agencies for up-to-date
rules and regulations prior to gate system design or installation.
Important Safety Instructions
A moving gate can cause serious injury
or death. Start the gate system only
when the gate's travel path is clear.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use.
Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the Important Safety Instructions in
this manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified
installer’s handle the installation of the FoldSmart gate system. A “qualified” installer has one of the
following:
•
A minimum of three years’ experience installing similar equipment.
•
Proof of attending a Wallace Perimeter Security Technical Training seminar within the past three
years.
•
Significant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate system installation and
operation.
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible
for current safety standards and regulations regarding gate systems and automated gates. To pass UL
certification, all aspects of gate installation must comply with the appropriate safety standards. For the
most up-to-date, ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to
. For UL 325
Safety Standard, refer to
