Install Entrapment Protection
Entrapment is defined as the condition when an object is caught or held in a position that increases the risk of injury. The minimum number of external entrapment protection sensors required in a typical automated gate installation will depend on the type of operator, the type of gate, and the number of entrapment zones that require protection.
At least two means of entrapment protection are required in each direction of travel for most installations. For any and all installations in which a direction has a risk of entrapment, at least two independent means of entrapment protection are required.
Failure to install required
WARNING entrapment protection will result in death or serious injury.
Entrapment Protection Devices
· ENTRAPMENT ZONE HAZARD Gates must be equipped with entrapment protection if their motion toward a stationary object, such as a wall or fence, results in a gap of less than 16 inches (40.6 cm) in the direction of travel. Body parts positioned between the gate and stationary object can result in serious injury or death. If a wall, pillar, or column covered by a swing gate is more than 4 inches wide (10 cm)(measured from the center line of the pivot point of the gate), the area must have entrapment protection.
· Pedestrians must stay clear of the gate path and any area where gate motion is close to stationary objects.
· PINCH POINTS HAZARD – The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a scissoring effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the opening mechanism at all times, particularly when the gate is opening.
Illustration is for example only; your site may have additional entrapment zones which MUST be protected.
Public Side
Mount access control devices at least 6′ (1.8m) from the gate

Operator Setup Procedures
Operator Alarm
CAUTION Alarm is very loud. Failure to use hearing protection could result in minor or moderate injury.
The alarm will sound if a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice in a row, without traveling to the open or closed limit. It will sound up to 5 minutes. The operator will need to be reset (see below). If any of the following conditions are met, the alarm will sound:
· The operator or gate is not installed correctly. · The gate does not meet specifications. · The gate hinges do not allow the gate to move freely. · A car pushes the gate while it is moving. · An object is on the gate frame while the gate is moving. · The gate hits the curb or driveway, and is bent or stuck in the wrong position.
After removing any obstructions, press the reset button (see below) to turn off the alarm and reset the operator. Normal functions will resume.
Reset Button
The reset button is located on the right side of the control box. It is used to:
· Stop the gate from moving during an open/close cycle.
· Disable the Timer-to-close when the gate is in the open position. (Timer will be re-enabled the next time the gate reaches the open limit.)
· Shut off the alarm and reset the operator.
Reset Button
Remote Control Single Button Wired Control Station or Single Button Wireless Control Device
When the gate is in the closed position, pressing the remote button will cause the gate to move toward the open position. While the gate is opening, pressing the remote button will stop the gate, and it will remain in that position. The next button press will cause the gate to move toward the closed position. Pressing the button while the gate is moving in the close direction will stop the gate, and it will remain in that position. The next button press will cause the gate to move in the open direction. This cycle repeats indefinitely.

Solar Operation
Solar Panel Alignment and Tilt Angle
In order to optimize the amount of solar irradiance, solar panels must be aligned facing True South and have a Tilt Angle (relative to the horizontal ground). The Tilt Angle will vary with location, depending on where the panels are being installed geographically. Refer to the map below in order to adjust the panel installation to optimized alignment of True South and appropriate Tilt Angle. Additional concerns that must be considered and avoided in solar panel installation:
· Avoid any shading of the panels by buildings, tree cover, etc. · Solar panels should be installed as near to the operator as possible. · Consider the local environment the solar panel is being installed in and make sure to accommodate secure
mounting in a position optimized to avoid issues with strong winds, snow, and soiling due to settling dust.
