1.   Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate 
systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate 
operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically 
designed for an individual application.
2.   Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take 
into account the possible hazards associated with each individual 
application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems 
can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems 
design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential 
hazards.
3.   A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a 
component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must 
be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
  • Edges Sensors (contact) • Guards for Exposed Rollers    
  • Photoelectric Sensors  • Screen Mesh       
  •  Vertical Posts  • Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4.  Install the gate operator only when:
  a.  The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage 
class of the gate.
  b.  All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened 
from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.8 m) 
above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inches (6 cm) diameter 
sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, 
and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in 
the open position.
  c.  All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding 
is supplied for exposed rollers.
5.   The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for 
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access 
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to 
promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will 
not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of 
travel of the vehicular gate. 
6.   The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is 
supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening 
and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall 
not open into public access areas.
7.   The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both 
directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8.   Controls intended for user activation must be located at least 6 feet 
(1.8 m) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user 
is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate 
to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall 
have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. 
Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized 
personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in the 
line-of-sight of the gate.
9.   The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in 
the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not 
cause the operator to start.
10.   A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on 
each side of the gate where easily visible. 
11.  For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
  a.  Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact 
sensor for each type of application. See Install Entrapment 
Protection section.
  b.  Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, 
such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still 
moving.
  c.  One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk 
of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter 
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
12.   For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge 
sensor:
  a.  One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of 
entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, 
trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a 
vehicular horizontal slide gate.
  b.  A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring 
arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate 
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
  c.  A wireless device such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) 
signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions 
shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not 
obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural 
landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless device shall 
function under the intended end-use conditions.
  d.  One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and 
outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom 
edge of a swing gate is greater than 6 inches (152 mm) above 
the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact 
sensors  shall be located on the bottom edge.
  e.  One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge 
of a vertical barrier (arm).
  f.   One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge 
of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
  g.  One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of 
a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
