UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS This chart illustrates the entrapment protection requirements for the UL325 classes. GATE OPERATOR ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION UL325 Classification Swing Gate Operator CLASS I-CLASS IV Primary Type A Secondary Type B1 or B2 In order to complete a proper installation you must satisfy the entrapment protection chart shown. That means that the installation must have one primary means of entrapment protection and one independent secondary means of entrapment protection. Both primary and secondary entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open and close directions of gate travel. For Example: For a gate system that is installed on a single-family residence
(UL325 Class I) you must provide the following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you must provide Type A -
Inherent (built into the operator) entrapment sensing and at least one of the following as your secondary entrapment protection:
Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric sensors, Type B1 -
Type B2 - Contact sensors such as gate edges NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems. 2 SAFETY SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION 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:
Gate Edges Photoelectric Sensors Vertical Posts Guards for Exposed Rollers Screen Mesh 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 4 feet (1.2 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. SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION 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. 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 owners manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application. 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. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. c. 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. d. A wireless contact sensor such as the 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 contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. e. 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. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm). f. 3 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2. 2.1 2.2 2.3 SAFETY GATE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION Vehicular gates should be installed in accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction.

Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate. Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles. Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts or walls. An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. All gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone. This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system (the primary entrapment protection system) and REQUIRES the addition of an external entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact safety edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone. Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly. CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS) If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. Use edge sensor models G65MG0204, G65MGR020, or G65MGS020. 3 Edge Contact Sensor
(wire to BOTH Open and Close inputs)
Edge Sensor for Open Cycle
(wire to Open input) Edge Sensor for Close Cycle
(Wire to Close input) NON-CONTACT SENSORS If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. It is best to use monitored photoelectric sensors, model CPS-UN4. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL gate operation in that direction will stop. Unmonitored photoelectric sensor models AOMRON and RETROAB are also acceptable. Sensor for Close Cycle
Sensor for Open Cycle Safety Non-Contact Sensor
5 SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INSTALLATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
Pinch points must be guarded at all times. Install enclosed-style gate tracks and roller guards. Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate. Place screen mesh 4 feet (1.2 m) high on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel. Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles. Mount controls at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving part of the gate. Install Warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW. Permanently secure each Warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes. This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at any point during full movement of the gate. Contact sensors MUST be located at the leading and trailing edges, and post mounted both inside and outside a horizontal swing gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes MUST be mounted across the gate opening and operate during BOTH the open and close cycles. Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts or walls. Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate. NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate. If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object. DO NOT touch the heater when switch is on, heater may be hot. To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging more than 18 inches
(46 cm) deep. ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment. WIRING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity. ADJUSTMENT ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual. DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that you install an edge sensor BEFORE proceeding with the control station installation. ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled. ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit. To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate. Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate. NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate. If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object. 6 SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ADDITIONAL FEATURES To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
