GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

SAFETY CHECK LIST:

•The GS4000 operator may be installed on a Class I, II, III, or IV Vehicular Swing Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight & length etc.).

•Make sure that the gate moves freely, all hinges are in good

working order, the gate does not bind in any manner and the gate swing area is clean and free of irregularities. DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR UNTIL ALL GATE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

•Do not increase the built-in overload detector adjustment or overtighten the torque limiter to compensate for a poorly working gate. A well maintained gate will ensure easy manual operation (if needed) and maximum operator obstruction sensitivity.

•Install the operator on the inside of the property/fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the public side of the fence line or gate. Outward swinging gates should not open into public areas.

•The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and any adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.

•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.

•For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES (or any other type of open gate where a handhold or toehold may be achieved), injuries may occur when people put arms through the openings or children “ride” the gate by standing on the bars and holding on to the gate. THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED BY INSTALLING A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. Allstar strongly recommends the entire gate and adjacent fence area the

gate covers when open be meshed or guarded such that a handhold or toehold cannot be achieved. See Figure 2.

•All Allstar gate operators are VEHICULAR GATE OPERATORS and as such are 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 design.

•Use the illustration at left (Figure 3) to minimize the risk of injury in your design of the swing gate operator system.

IDENTIFY THE ENTRAPMENT ZONES AND PINCH POINT AREAS IN YOUR GATE. Design the gate installation to minimize the risk of entrapment in these areas. Install additional safety equipment such as four wire edges and photocells to further minimize risk. All entrapment zones are required to be protected.

•Entrapment Zones: Design in personal entrapment protection devices to protect people from entrapment in the zones shown in Figure 3 at left.

•Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3 at left.

•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
