PRE-INSTALLATION

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the installation and testing of the complete gate system. The HDSWG 1000 has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is certified to comply with UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by the UL symbol on the name plate. (115 Volt version only.)

NOTICE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE

FEATURES OF THE HDSWG 1000 AND ITS PROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.

Because the Allstar HDSWG 1000 (as well as gate operators sold by other manufactures) is designed to start and move gates weighing as much as 1200 pounds, or more,---the Allstar HDSWG 1000 is capable of producing high levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate system that designers, installers and users be aware of the hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design, installation and use of Vehicular Gate systems and Gate Operators.

The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly designed system will include all applicable safety devices.

As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You 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.

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 has a built-in "overload detector" that can help reduce the hazards of your gate system. This device, however, must not be considered as the primary defense system. Consider all available options (electric leading edges, photoelectric

sensors, protective screen mesh, etc) to eliminate hazards in your gate system design.

*The Allstar HDSWG 1000 built-in overload detector will activate if there is an abrupt increase in motor current above that normally required to move the gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS AN ADJUSTABLE SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE TESTED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE SENSITIVE THIS SETTING CAN BE MADE.

	NOTICE
THE	IMPORTANT	SAFEGUARDS		AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL			CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS
WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ITS USE. IT MUST BE
UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION
MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING,
MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR
ANY OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE —
OPERATING A SWING GATE.

ADVISE THE PURCHASER TO CHECK THE SENSITIVITY OF THE OVERLOAD PERIODICALLY AND, AFTER REMOVING THE CONTROL BOX COVER, LOG THE DATE TESTED ON THE LOG DECAL PROVIDED ON THE CONTROL BOX (See Figure 1, below.)

The HDSWG 1000 is also provided with a Torque Limiter that may be adjusted to "slip" when an obstruction is encountered. However, the purpose of the Torque Limiter is to protect the HDSWG 1000 mechanical parts. Whether the overload is activated before the Torque Limiter slips will depend upon the "tightness" of the adjustment of the Torque Limiter. This adjustment will be explained in the final check out of the HDSWG 1000.
