2.2 Vehicular Traffic OnlyThis automatic gate operator is not designed noris it intended for pedestrian traffic. Vehicular gateoperators must by their nature be powerful tofunction reliably. This power can cause injury ordeath. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian traffic toa separate walk-through gate.2.3 Install This Gate Operator Only When:a. The operator is appropriate for theconstruction of the gate and the usage Classof the gate,b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate areguarded or screened from the bottom of thegate to a minimum of 1.83 m (6 ft) above theground to prevent a 57.2 mm (2-1/4 inch)diameter sphere from passing through theopenings anywhere in the gate, and theportion of the adjacent fence that the gatecovers in the open position,c.All exposed pinch points are eliminated orguarded, andd. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.e. When utilizing a Nice 936 board and 1050board and 8 sensors may be connected.2.4 The operator is intended for installation onlyon gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians mustbe supplied with a separate access opening.The pedestrian access opening shall bedesigned to promote pedestrian usage.Locate the gate such that persons will notcome in contact with the vehicular gate duringthe entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.2.5 The gate must be installed in a location sothat enough clearance is supplied betweenthe gate and adjacent structures whenopening and closing to reduce entrapmentrisk. Swinging gates shall not open into publicaccess areas2.6 The gate must be properly installed and workfreely in both directions prior to gate operatorinstallation. Do not ochange operator settingsto compensate for an improperly installed,improperly functioning, or damaged gate.2.7 Permanently mounted controls intended foruser activation must be located at least 1.83m (6 ft) away from any moving part of the gateand where the user is prevented from reachingover, under, around or through the gate tooperate the controls. Exception: Emergencyaccess controls only accessible by authorizedpersonnel (e.g. fire, police, EMS) may beplaced at any location in the line-of-sight ofthe gate.2.8 The Stop and/or Reset button must be locatedin the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation ofthe reset control shall not cause the operatorto start.2.9 A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shallbe installed, in the area of the gate. Eachplacard is to be visible by persons locatedon the side of the gate on which the placardis installed.2.10 For gate operators utilizing a non-contactsensor (Photo Eye):a. See instructions on the placement of noncontact sensors for each Type of application,b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the riskof nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle,trips the sensor while the gate is still moving,andc. One or more non-contact sensors shallbe located where the risk of entrapment orobstruction exists, such as the perimeterreachable by a moving gate or barrier.www.ApolloGateOpeners.com (800) 878-7829 Sales@ApolloGateOpeners.com9

2.11 For a gate operator utilizing a contactsensor (Edge):a. One or more contact sensors shall belocated where the risk of entrapment orobstruction exists, such as at the leadingedge, trailing edge, and postmounted bothinside and outside of a vehicular horizontalslide gate.b. A hardwired contact sensor shall belocated and its wiring arranged so that thecommunication between the sensor and thegate operator is not subjected to mechanicaldamage.c. A wireless device such as one that transmitsradio frequency (RF) signals to the gateoperator for entrapment protection functionsshall be located where the transmission ofthe signals are not obstructed or impededby building structures, natural landscapingor similar obstruction. A wireless deviceshall function under the intended end-useconditions.d. One or more contact sensors shall belocated on the inside and outside leadingedge of a swing gate. Additionally, if thebottom edge of a swing gate is greater than152 mm (6 in) but less than 406 mm (16 in)above the ground at any point in its arc oftravel, one or more contact sensors shall belocated on the bottom edge.3. Use of Vehicle DetectorsUse of vehicle detectors (loop detectors) is stronglyencouraged to prevent damage to vehiclescaused by gates closing on them. This is notconsidered to be a safety item as vehicle detectorscannot provide protection to pedestrians. In somesituations, photoelectric devices may be used asvehicle detectors, but should be wired accordingly.4.

Maintenance of Gate SystemsTo keep your automated gate system performingboth safely and reliably it is important to ensurethat the components of that system are functioningproperly. At least monthly:5.1 Disconnect the gate operator and manuallymove the gate through its range of travel.Note any squeaks from rollers or hinges orareas of binding. The gate should travelsmoothly and quietly throughout its range.If it does not, contact a gate professional tocorrect the problem.5.2 Reconnect the gate operator and perform thefollowing tests:5.2.1 With the gate opening, block any photoeyes and/or depress any safety edges usedto protect the open direction. The gateshould stop, or, stop and reverse.5.2.2 With the gate closing, block any photoeyes and/or depress any safety edges usedto protect the close direction. The gateshould stop, or, stop and reverse.5.2.3 Using a suitable obstruction in the path ofthe gate (a solid, immovable object), run thegate in the open direction until it contactsthe obstruction. The gate should stop andreverse.5.2.4 Using a suitable obstruction in the path ofthe gate (a solid, immovable object), run thegate in the close direction until it contactsthe obstruction. The gate should stop, or,stop and reverse.www.ApolloGateOpeners.com (800) 878-7829 Sales@ApolloGateOpeners.com

6. Entrapment ProtectionThe UL325 standard for gate operators requiresa minimum of two independent entrapmentprotection means for each entrapment zone. Anentrapment zone is defined as follows:For slide gates, any locations between a movinggate and a counter opposing edge or surfacewhere entrapment is possible up to a height of 6ft. (1.83m) above grade. Such locations occur if atany point in travel the gap between a moving gateand the fixed counter opposing edges or surfacesis less than 16 in. (406mm).For swing gates, locations between a movinggate or moving, exposed operator componentsand a counter opposing edge or surface whereentrapment is possible up to 6 ft (1.83m) abovegrade. Such locations occur if during any pointin travel:a. The gap between the bottom of a movinggate and the ground is greater than 4 in.(101.6 mm) and less than 16 in. (406 mm); orb. The distance between the center line of thepivot and the end of the wall, pillar, or columnto which it is mounted when in the open orclosed position exceeds 4 in. (101.6 mm).Any other gap between a moving gate andfixed counter opposing edges or surfacesor other fixed objects is less than 16 in. (406mm) (examples are walls, curbs, berms orother immovable objects).Potential entrapment zones are shown in Figure 1for slide and swing gates, but keep in mind theremay be other entrapment zones presented bythe actual installation and adjacent structures orlandscape that must be protected as well.Entrapment Protection Inputs - Typical Installation Diagram Utilizing PhotocellsOutsideGateClose Direction EyeOpenDirectionEye(Possible Entrapment Zoneif gate opens to 16 inchesfrom wall or fixed object)Close Direction EyeOpenDirectionEye(Possible Entrapment Zoneif gate opens to 16 inchesfrom wall or fixed object)www.ApolloGateOpeners.com (800) 878-7829 Sales@ApolloGateOpeners.com13

All Nice gate operators feature an InherentEntrapment System (IES) (UL325 Type A) thatmonitors the force on the gate during travel.This system protects in both the open andclose direction and reverses on contact with anobstruction. This IES system serves as one of themeans of entrapment protection.External sensors must be used to protect againstentrapment at each location where an entrapmentzone exists. The minimum number of externalsensors required to enable automatic operationof the gate operator is as follows: Swing Gates: One sensor in the Close direction(provided the gate in the open directionpresents no risk of entrapment.) Slide Gates: One sensor in the Open directionand one sensor in the Close direction.The gate operator tests for the presence of thesesensors, and if the required minimum numberis not found, the operator will only run usingcontinuous pressure on an Open/Close button,either on the controller, or an external device.147.
