IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Secondary Means of Protection Against
Entrapment
As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate openers shall have an inherent entrapment
sensing system, and shall have provisions for
, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect
against entrapment. The GTO/PRO utilizes Type A
, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type
of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO has provisions for
the connection of Type B2 protection to be used as the
secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.
1. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]):
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and
outside of a vehicular swing gate system.
B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the
sensor and the gate opener is not subjected to mechanical damage.
C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate opener for
entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or
impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall
function under the intended end-use conditions.
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GTO/PRO gate operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with
an obstruction. Additionally, these openers are equipped with an
audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the
unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the opener
receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate
returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will
also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.
