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 LI KELY THAT
CHILDREN WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE AUTOMATIC
GATE, PLACE A WARNING SI GN 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 MINIM IZED
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 H AZARD 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.
