A:IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
•Check the operator manufacturer’s specification to ensure that the operator is proper for the cycles per hour, size and type of gate.
•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.
•Before activating the "timer to close" option of the HDSWG 1000, ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT 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.
•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.
•When the HDSWG 1000 Control Box cover is removed and the small metal cover from terminals 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 is also removed, 115 Volts will be exposed AS LONG AS THE MAIN POWER SWITCH IS ON. EVEN IF THE RED POWER LIGHT IS NOT LIGHTED, 115 VOLTS AC MAY STILL BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS. NEVER LEAVE THE INSTALLATION WITH THESE COVERS REMOVED.
•AS THE INSTALLER YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
1.ASSURING 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 MANUALLY.
2.POINTING 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.
3.LEAVING 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.
4.NOT PLACING IN SERVICE THIS OPERATOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE GATE OPERATING SYSTEM. CONSULT THE OPERATOR MANUFACTURER.
•DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR UNTIL ALL GATE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.
•DO NOT consider the built in sensitivity overload as the primary defense system. Consider all options in the gate system design.
•DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the HDSWG 1000 (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.
•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.
•IDENTIFY THE ENTRAPMENT ZONES AND PINCH POINT AREAS PER FIGURE 4. Design the gate installation to minimuze 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.
SWING GATE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Use the following illustration to minimize the risk of injury in your design of the swing gate operator system.
Entrapment Zones: Design in personal entrapment protection devices to protect people from entrapment in the zones shown below.
Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown below.
