ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION

WARNING

In order to prevent serious injury, bodily harm or death from a moving gate:

- Entrapment protection devices must be installed to cover any and all entrapment danger areas and locations during a gates opening and closing cycles.

Since every installation is different, it is up to a qualified and trained technician to determine:

- All Possible Entrapment areas & locations

- The amount and type of entrapment protection devices that are needed.

Approved anti-entrapment devices:

- Miller’s Edge “PrimeGaurd

- Miller’s Edge “ReflectiGaurd”

- Miller’s Edge “Wireless Edge Link”

- Miller’s Edge “The Solution”

- EMX ”IRB-MON”

RAMSET

ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION

General entrapment protection provisions

A vehicular gate operator shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least two independent entrapment protection means as specified in Table 1. At installation, both entrapment protection devices must be installed.

Table 1

Horizontal slide, vertical lift, and vertical pivot

Entrapment protection types**

A, B1, B2 or D

NOTE - The same type of device shall not be utilized for both entrapment protection means. Use of a single device to cover both the opening and closing directions is in accordance with the requirement: however, a single device is not required to cover both directions. A combination of one Type B1 for one direction and one Type B2 for the other direction is the equivalent of one device for the purpose of complying with the requirements of either entrapment protection means.

**Entrapment protection types:

Type A - Inherent entrapment protection system.

Type B1 - Non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent).

Type B2 - Contact sensor (edge device or the equivalent).

Type D - Actuating device requiring continuous pressure to maintain opening or closing motion of the gate.

A gate operator utilizing entrapment protection designated Type B1 in Table 1 by having provision for connection of, or providing with the operator, a non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or equivalent) shall, upon sensing an obstruction in the direction of travel of the gate: a) Stop or reverse the gate within a maximum of 2 s, b) Stop the gate, or stop and initiate reversal of the gate upon sensing a second sequential

obstruction.

c) Result in a gate at rest remaining at rest unless a Type D device is actuated, and d) Return to normal operation when the sensor is no longer actuated.

A gate operator installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions utilizing external entrapment protection designated Types B1 or B2 in Table 1 by having provision for connection of such device, or providing such device with the operator, shall monitor for the presence and correct operation of the device at least once during each open and close cycle. Should the device not be present, or a fault condition occur that precludes the sensing of an obstruction, including an interruption of the wireless signal to the wireless device or an open or short circuit in the wiring that connects the external entrapment device to the operator and the device’s supply source, the operator shall require constant pressure or actuation to initiate and continue movement of the gate in either the opening or closing direction. Upon removal of pressure, movement of the gate shall cease. Unless supplied with separate Open and Close buttons, each subsequent pressing of the control button shall reverse direction of the gate.

GATE ENTRANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE

SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the user’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

26 www.ramsetinc.com

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE HOMEOWNER

RAMSET

• Ask your technician about all the features of your new

Ramset gate operator.

• This operator should not be installed without at least one photo eye present.

• Other safety devices, such as reverse loops, phantom loops, additional photo eyes, or miller edges may need to be installed on your gate before the operator may be used.

Ask your technician which safety devices best suit your safety needs.

• Read your warranty certificate and fill out your warranty extension card. Return the warranty card, via certified mail, to Ramset within 90 days of purchase:

Ramset Automatic Gate Systems, Inc.

9116 De Garmo Ave.

Sun Valley, CA 91352

• All warranty issues/claims must be redeemed by a technician.

• Homeowners should NEVER take the cover off the gate operator.

• Homeowners should NEVER try to work on, repair or service the gate operator.

• Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the controls away from children.

• Never let children play in the area around the gate.

• Never let anyone ride, climb under or climb over the gate.

• Always keep people, children and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. No one should cross the area of a moving gate.

• The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians should use a separate entrance.

www.ramsetinc.com

• Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving. Make sure before using the foot pedal release, the circuit breaker for the operator is turned off.

• Have the technician give you a demonstration of how to use the emergency release.

• Make sure that in your breaker box, the breaker for the operator is clearly marked and that you are aware of how to disable and enable the breaker.

• Keep gates properly maintained. Have a qualified gate technician service the gate operator and gate hardware every six months to a year. This includes checking of safety devices, E.R.D. and battery backup systems...etc.

• Frequently test and check all safety devices.

• Periodically test and check the battery backup and emergency release systems.

• Keep the gate operator area free of debris.

• Keep the area clean and pest free (insects and rodents can cause serious damage to the operator which is not covered under warranty).

• Warning signs must be placed on both sides of every gate in a highly visible area.

• To reset the audible alarm on the gate operator you must turn the circuit breaker for the operator off for approximately 10 seconds, and then back on. An exterior switch or button can also be installed on the operator to shut off the audible alarm.

• Always keep a good relationship with your technician and keep his or her number handy for future maintenance or emergencies.
