• SWING GATES HAVE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD 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 MINIMIZED.
See Figure 3.
• 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 3.
• DO NOT consider the adjustable torque limiter as the primary
defense system. Consider all options in the gate system
design.
• DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the RS4000
(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.
• DO NOT locate any control 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. Locate all control devices a minimum of
10 feet from the gate when opened or closed.
• Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security
type to prevent unauthorized use of the system.
• 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.
• Before activating the "timer to close" option of the RS4000,
ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
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.
• 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.
• When the RS4000 Control Box cover is removed, high voltage
will be exposed. EVEN IF THE RED POWER LIGHT IS
NOT LIGHTED, HIGH VOLTAGE AC MAY STILL BE
PRESENT ON TERMINALS L1 AND L2. NEVER LEAVE
THE INSTALLATION WITH THE CONTROL BOX
COVER REMOVED.
• ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE
ATTEMPTING SERVICE OF EITHER THE ELECTRICAL
OR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.
• SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided
with the RS4000 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. The installation
of the warning signs is a requirement of UL325 and as such
failure to install the signs will negate the UL Listing.. 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 Figure 4.
