IMPORTANT!
FOR SWING GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS,
SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS.
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is important that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is a component part of a total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer and end user. These instructions provide an overview of the importance of safe design, installation, and use.
Warnings are identified with the ▲ symbol. This symbol will identify some of the conditions that can result in serious injury or death. Take time to carefully read and follow these precautions and other important information provided to help ensure safe system design, installation and use.
▲
WARNING:
Gate operators are only one part of a total gate operating system. It is the responsibility of purchaser, designer, and installer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. All secondary entrapment safety devices must be RECOGNIZED by UL to ensure the safety of the complete operating system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR GATE OPERATORS
MANUFACTURED AFTER JANUARY 11TH, 2016
All gate operators manufactured after January 11th, 2016 must have a monitored input for each direction. In order to satisfy this requirement, all PowerMaster gate operators with the universal board will have one monitored input for each direction. The close photo (11) terminal will function for the close direction and the open photo (10) will function for the open direction. These terminals will look for, or “monitor”, the presence of a 10k in-line resistor. If either terminal does not detect the presence of the monitored device, the unit will function in constant contact for this direction.
Note: The first time a monitored device is added to the unit, the board must “learn” what the monitored device is. To have the board learn the monitored device, perform the following steps:
1. With the power off, hold both the open and close limit simultaneously.
2. Power up the unit and release your fingers from the limits. The unit has now learned the monitored device.
E.g. The operator detects there is a monitored device on the 11 terminal but not the 10 terminal. The operator will function in momentary contact to close and constant pressure to open.
Following are the monitored devices acceptable for use with the
GSMCB02:

SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
▲ 1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are relying on your design to provide a safe installation.
▲ 2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system.
▲
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, be sure the system is placed far enough away from the road to eliminate traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage levels, and gate cycle/speed must be considered to eliminate potential traffic hazards.
▲
4. Swing gates have two potential entrapment zones you must avoid. Make sure they are protected as shown in the following diagram (Figure 1).
ELECTRIC EDGE, ON VERTICAL OUTSIDE
EDGE OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE
WHILE CLOSING (RECOMMENDED).
1 ENTRAPMENT ZONE
HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC EDGE, ON BOTTOM
OUTSIDE EDGE OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE
WHILE CLOSING (REQUIRED).
2 ENTRAPMENT ZONE
HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC EDGE, ON INSIDE
BOTTOM OF GATE. WIRED TO REVERSE WHILE
OPENING (RECOMMENDED).
• Pedestrians should keep clear of path of gate, particularly in the area before fully closed.
• The area of the gate arm and linkage must be avoided as it can create an entrapment.
FIGURE 1
WARNING
THIS GATE SYSTEM IS FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY. A
SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE MUST BE PROVIDED.
The illustrations and descriptive captions provide precautions to help eliminate injuries or fatalities. Familiarize yourself with them when designing the total system.

INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
▲
▲
▲
▲
▲
▲
▲
▲
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency of use. If you are not sure, consult factory.
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk of entrapment when gate is opening or closing.
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in both directions. Replace or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and enhance the performance of the operator as well as the safety devices used within the system.
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the public side of the gate.
5. Severe injury or death can result from entrapment by a gate. The operator is supplied with an obstruction sensing primary entrapment protection system. Additional safety equipment such as electric edges or photocell sensors must be installed to provide the required secondary entrapment protection system. For assistance in selecting the correct type of safety equipment, consult the factory.
6. Review the operation of the unit and become familiar with the manual operation procedure and safety features of the system.
7. You must install a pushbutton control or key switch to allow for normal operation of the gate if the automatic controls do not work. Locate the push button or key switch and small warning placard within sight of the gate in a secured area at least 10 feet or more from any moving parts of the gate or operator.
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of the security type to prohibit unauthorized use. Please consult your local distributor concerning the types and specifications of available controls.

You are responsible for ensuring that the end user understands the basic operations and safety systems of the unit, INCLUDING THE MANUAL OPERATION PROCEDURE.
Point out that the safety instructions in brochure are the responsibility of the end user, and then LEAVE THIS MANUAL WITH THE END USER.
END USER SAFETY WARNINGS
The manufacturer of the gate operator does not know what type of gate you have, or what type of automatic system is installed on your gate. Be sure you’ve been fully instructed on the sequence of operation for your specific gate system(s). Keep the gate properly maintained and have a qualified service person make repairs.
▲
1. Be sure the following safety instructions are distributed to all persons authorized to use your gate.
▲
2. KEEP GATEWAY CLEAR (Front and
Back) AT ALL TIMES. Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use. No one should ever cross the path of the moving gate.
▲
3. DO NOT allow children to play near your gate, or to operate the gate.
▲
4. DO NOT operate your gate system unless you can see it when the gate moves.
▲
5. Be sure a pushbutton or key switch has been installed for manual electric operation in the event your radio or card key does not work. Any mounted control station should be located a minimum of 10 feet from the gate so the gate cannot be reached through or touched. Any pushbutton located in a building should be installed within sight of the gate.
▲
6. DO NOT operate any controls without watching the movement of the gate.
▲
7. Your gate system is required to have a primary and a secondary entrapment safety system installed and maintained.
▲
8. If your gate closes automatically, loop detectors should be installed to detect the presence of a vehicle.
9
▲ 9. DO NOT increase force adjustment to compensate for a damaged gate. The gate should always be maintained to operate manually as easily as possible to provide maximum protection.
▲
10. Check all safety systems at least once per month for the correct force, speed and sensitivity. Gate must reverse when hitting a rigid object, or when a non-contact sensor is activated. If these functions are observed to operate improperly, discontinue use and have it serviced immediately!
▲
11. You are responsible for ensuring that warning signs are installed and maintained on both sides of your gate.
▲
12. To ensure safe operation of this equipment, you must read this safety manual and keep it for reference.

LOOP DETECTOR SYSTEMS AND INSTALLATION
The diagram on the right depicts the typical loop options for a Swing Gate installation.
1. The Exit Loop provides a signal to open the gate when a vehicle enters the loop zone.
2. The Reversing Loop protects a vehicle in the loop zone from being contacted with the gate by overriding any close signal while the gate is open, and by reversing the gate if closing.
3. The Shadow Loop protects a vehicle in the loop zone from being contacted with the gate by overriding any close signal while the gate is in the full open position.

SAFETY DEVICE CONNECTIONS
INHERENT OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICE
NOTE: The gate MUST move smoothly and easily in manual operation before attempting this adjustment.
WARNING
This unit is supplied with a current sensing system, which will stop the gate when it
TURN OFF POWER TO OPERATOR
WHEN MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS!
encounters an obstruction, and then backs the gate off approximately 2 inches. If the gate is started again and a second encounter occurs before hitting a limit switch, the gate will stop and sound a warning signal. A constant pressure control will then be needed to start the gate.
This sensing system has sensitivity adjustments located on the printed circuit board. The force required to activate the system may be adjusted in both OPEN and CLOSE directions separately. Start at minimum and increase force setting until it is just over what is required to move the gate smoothly without any nuisance tripping.
WARNING
NEVER INCREASE FORCE SETTING TO
MAKE UP FOR A GATE THAT IS NOT
MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THIS WILL
DESENSITIZE THE OPERATION OF THE
SAFETY SYSTEM.

SECONDARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICES
Two sensing devices (either a contact or a non-contact system) must be installed and connected to this unit to increase protection against entrapment per UL requirements; one for each respective direction.
NOTE: Safety device contacts must be 10k monitored or NORMALLY OPEN.
24 VAC power is available at marked terminals for devices that may require it (e.g. photo eyes, wireless edges, etc.).
CONTACT SENSOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: Wireless sensors must be installed so there is no signal interference.
NOTE: All hard wiring to safety edges must be installed so there is no threat of mechanical damage to wiring between components when the gate is moving.
Horizontal Electric Edge
Mounted On Outside
Bottom of Gate
1. Install electric edge sensors in locations shown on the right.
NOTE: A separate pedestrian gate must be installed if there is no other entry access but the vehicular gate.

5. Run the operator to the OPEN limit and repeat Step #3 for the outside horizontal edge.
6. Test the OPEN OBSTRUCTION SENSING SYSTEM by depressing the inside horizontal edge sensor while the gate is opening.
NOTE: The operator should repeat the STOP AND REVERSE procedure.
NOTE: If an edge is activated twice, or a second edge is activated before a limit is hit
(full open or close), operator will stop and sound a warning horn. To reactivate system,
turn operator power switch OFF then ON.
NON-CONTACT SENSOR INSTALLATION
1. Install photoelectric cell as close to FULL OPEN and FULL
CLOSED position of gate as possible.
2. Photocells should be installed across the gate opening and behind the gate at least 10 inches above ground (see image on right).
NOTE: A separate pedestrian gate must be installed if there is no other entry access but the vehicular gate.
