Keep the remote controlaway from Always keep people and objects awayfrom the gate. NO ONE SHOULDCROSS THE PATH OF THEMOVING Test the gate operator monthly. Thegate MUST reverse on contact with arigid object or stop when an objectactivates the non-contact sensors. Afteradjusting the force or the limit of travel,retest the gate operator. Failure toadjust and retest the gate operatorproperly can increase the risk of injuryor Use the emergency release only whenthe gate is not KEEP GATES PROPERLYMAINTAINED. Read the owner smanual. Have a qualified service personmake repairs to gate The entrance is for vehicles must use separate THESE are three kinds of safety issues involved with anautomatic gate operator: issues arising from the designof the gate, from the Installation of the gate and theoperator, and from the use of the gate operator.

3 Thefollowing information is designed to help you be sureyour gate and its operator are well-designed, installedcorrectly, and used Design1. A gate is a potential traffic hazard, so it is importantthat you locate the gate far enough away from theroad to eliminate the potential of traffic gettingbacked up. This distance is affected by the size ofthe gate, how often it is used, and how fast the The operator you choose to install on your gatemust be designed for the type and size of your gateand for the frequency with which you use Your gate must be properly installed and must workfreely in both directions before the automaticoperator is An automatic operator should be installed on theinside of the property/fence line. Do not install theoperator on the public side of the Pedestrians should not use a vehicular gate such inappropriate use by installingseparate gates for Exposed, reachable pinch points on a gate arepotentially hazardous and must be eliminated Outward swinging gates with automatic operatorsshould not open into a public The operating controls for an automatic gate mustbe secured to prevent the unauthorized use of The controls for an automatic gate should belocated far enough from the gate so that a usercannot accidentally touch the gate when operatingthe An automatic gate operator should not be installedon a gate if people can reach or extend their arms orlegs through the gate.

4 Such gates should be guardedor screened to prevent such If you have any question about the safety of thegate operating system, do not install this the operator The condition of the gate structure itself directlyaffects the reliability and safety of the Only qualified personnel should install thisequipment. Failure to meet this requirement couldcause severe injury and/or death, for which themanufacturer cannot be held The installer must provide a main power switch thatmeets all applicable safety Clearly indicate on the gate with a minimum of 2warning signs (visible from either side of the gate)that indicate the following: The gate is automatic and could move atany time, posing a serious risk ofentrapment. Children should not be allowed to operatethe gate or play in the gate area.

5 The gate should be operated only when itis visible to the operator and the when thearea is free of people and It is extremely unsafe to compensate for a damagedgate by overtightening a clutch or increasinghydraulic Devices such as reversing edges and photocellsmust be installed to provide better protection forpersonal property and pedestrians. Install reversingdevices that are appropriate to the gate design andgate Before applying electrical power, be sure that thevoltage requirements of the equipment correspondto your supply voltage. Refer to the label on youroperator Do not install the Barrier in such a way that thebeam moves within 2 feet (610 mm) of a Use this equipment only in the capacity for which itwas designed. Any use other than that stated shouldbe considered improper and therefore When using any electrical equipment, observe somefundamental rules: Do not touch the equipment with damp orhumid hands or feet.

6 Do not install or operate the equipmentwith bare feet. Do not allow small children or incapablepersons to use the If a gate system component malfunctions, turn offthe main power before making any attempt to Do not attempt to impede the movement of the may injure yourself as a This equipment may reach high temperaturesduring operation; therefore, use caution whentouching the external housing of the Learn to use the Manual release mechanismaccording to the procedures found in this in-stallation Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenanceoperations, disconnect the equipment from theelectrical To guarantee the efficiency of this equipment, themanufacturer recommends that qualified personnelperiodically check and maintain the Class and FAAC OperatorModelDuty CycleTypical UseClass I: Residential Vehicular Gate Operator402746422750412760630 Limited duty Home use Small apartment building, for example, up to 4 unitsin a building, with limited public access Class II: Commercial/General Access Vehicular Gate Operator 400640 620 Continuous duty Apartment buildings Very public access Class III.

Before you remove the Barrier beam or cabinet from itsshipping carton, inspect the carton for damage.

9 As youunpack the carton, insure that all the parts listed belowfor your system are included and are undamaged. Inspect the parts for damage. Notify the carrierimmediately if you note any damage because the carriermust witness the damage before you can file a claim. The Parts List Operator Carton: 1 Operator cabinet 1 Key for cabinet Bolts for attaching beam to cabinet: 4 or 6, depending on the Barrier and type of beam Beam Carton (optional): 1 Barrier beam 5 The 620 and 640 barriers General Characteristics The listed Model 620 or 640 Barrier gate systemwith GentleSwing tm Motion Management includes abarrier beam and a cabinet housing the hydraulicoperator and control panel. The main differences between the 620 and the 640 Barrier Systems are in the length of the Barrier beam andin the speed of operation.

10 The 620 system controlsbeams that are 6-1/2 to 16 ft (2 to 5 m) in length andoffers extremely fast opening and closing times. The620 is ideal for single-lane vehicular traffic in moderateto heavy traffic. The 620 Barrier can also be articulated(jointed) for use with low overhead clearances or skirtedto prevent vehicles from passing beneath the beam. The 640 Barrier system is for Barrier beams that are 13to 23 ft (4 to 7 m) long and is suitable for wideentrances and heavy-duty applications. The 640 Barriercan also be skirted. The Barrier beam is attached to a heavy-duty, lockablemetal cabinet bolted to a cement foundation. Inside thecabinet are the operator and the control panel. Importantmetal parts of the Barrier unit have been electroplatedwith a nickel alloy or covered with a polyester paint toresist the effects of rust and smog.
