A: IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES

WARNING!

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE

INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS!

GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK LIST:

DO NOT locate any device (key switch, switch, key pad, card reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any manner.

Install all devices that will open or close the gate in such a manner that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN THE DEVICE IS OPERATED. The recommended distance between gate or fence and accessory is 10 feet.

SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with the HDSWG 1000 on the gate (one on the outside and one on the inside) where they can be seen by persons in the area of the gate to alert them of automatic gate operation. (If the user refuses to have the warning signs installed, Allstar recommends that you note this on your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figurez2.

FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE IT IS LIKELY THAT CHILDREN WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE AUTOMATIC GATE, PLACE A WARNING SIGN SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO PARENTS AND VISITORS TO KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE GATE AND NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY ON THE GATE. (If the user refuses to have the sign installed, Allstar recommends that you note this on your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 2.

For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES, injuries may occur when people put arms through the openings or children “ride” the gate by standing on the chain and holding on to the gate. THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED BY INSTALLING A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. See Figure 3.

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 is a VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR and as such is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEDESTRIAN traffic. In installations where pedestrians are likely to be nearby, install a pedestrian gate and use leading edge detectors and/or photocells in your design to protect system entrapment zones. Allstar can provide these products for incorporation in your gate installation.

SWING GATES HAVE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF HANDS AND FINGERS BEING PINCHED between the gate edge and the post to which the gate is mounted. It is recommended that the hinges be mounted so that this opening increases as the gate swings open. PROTECT THIS "PINCH POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See Figure 4.

CONSIDER ALL OTHER "PINCH POINTS" IN YOUR DESIGN of the gate system. Observe the arm as it opens and the two arm pieces swing past each other. Use protective measures to reduce hazards at this location. Restrict access to the arm motion. See Figure 4.

DO NOT overtighten a force limiting device (clutch, sensitivity adjustment, hydraulic valve, etc.) to compensate for a damaged gate. A well maintained gate will ensure easy manual operation (if needed) and maximum operator obstruction sensitivity.

Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security type to prevent unauthorized use of the system.

Make sure the gate operating system is placed far enough back from the road to eliminate traffic backup. The distance from the road, size of the gate, usage level and gate cycle/speed must be taken into consideration to eliminate potential hazards.
