A:GATE SYSTEM DESIGN INSTALLATION

increases as the gate swings open. PROTECT THIS "PINCH POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See Figure 3.

•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 3.

•DO NOT consider the built-in overload detector as the primary defense system. Consider all options in the gate system design.

•DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the GS4000 (detectors, card readers, etc.) until the gate operator and all its functions are fully tested. Only connect one device at a time and ensure its proper function(s) before moving on to the next device.

•DO NOT locate any control 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. Locate all control devices a minimum of 10 feet from the gate when opened or closed.

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

•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.

•Before activating the "timer to close" option of the GS4000,

ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES (operator reversing feature, edges, photocells) ARE OPERATING and install VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS AND VEHICLE DETECTORS for protection of user vehicles. Read the manual for information on the installation of these devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.

•USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR THE BELTS AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed. Apply power to the operator only when instructed to do so.

•When the GS4000 Control Box cover is removed, high voltage will be exposed. EVEN IF THE RED POWER LIGHT IS NOT LIGHTED, HIGH VOLTAGE AC MAY STILL BE PRESENT ON TERMINALS L1 AND L2. NEVER LEAVE THE INSTALLATION WITH THE CONTROL BOX COVER REMOVED.

•ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING SERVICE OF EITHER THE ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.

•SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with the GS4000 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 Figure 4.

AS THE INSTALLER YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

1ASSURING THAT THE OWNER/END USER OF THE SYSTEM UNDERSTANDS ITS BASIC OPERATION AND SAFETY FEATURES. IN PARTICULAR, BE SURE THE OWNER/END USER UNDERSTANDS THE LOCATION AND OPERATION OF A MANUAL DISCONNECT (WHERE PROVIDED) OR HOW TO OPERATE THE GATE M

2YOU ALSO HAVE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY OF INSURING THAT ALL POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL HAZARDS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED AND ELIMINATED. YOU MUST ADVISE AND WARN THE PURCHASER AND THE ULTIMATE USER OF ANY HAZARDS THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ELIMINATE.

3POINTING OUT TO THE OWNER/END USER OF THE GATE SYSTEM THAT CHILDREN OR PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY ON OR NEAR THE GATE, FENCE OR ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM, AND THAT THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THIS OPERATOR AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/END USER.

4LEAVING THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR THIS OPERATOR AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION SUPPLIED WITH THIS OPERATOR OR OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE GATE SYSTEM WITH THE OWNER/END USER.

5NOT PLACING IN SERVICE THIS OPERATOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE GATE OPERATING SYSTEM. CONSULT THE OPERATOR MANUFACTURER.
