UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS This chart illustrates the entrapment protection requirements for the UL325 classes. GATE OPERATOR ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION UL325 Classification Swing Gate Operator Primary Type Secondary Type CLASS I-CLASS IV A B1 or B2 In order to complete a proper installation you must satisfy the entrapment protection chart shown. That means that the installation must have one primary means of entrapment protection and one independent secondary means of entrapment protection. Both primary and secondary entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open and close directions of gate travel. For Example: For a gate system that is installed on a single-family residence (UL325 Class I) you must provide the following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you must provide • Type A - Inherent (built into the operator) entrapment sensing and at least one of the following as your secondary entrapment protection: • Type B1 - Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric sensors, • Type B2 - Contact sensors such as gate edges NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems. 2

RIGID objects, such as posts or walls. • Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles. An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. All gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone. This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system (the primary entrapment protection system) and REQUIRES the addition of an external entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact safety edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone. Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly. CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS) If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. Use non monitored edge sensor models G65MG0204, G65MGR020, or G65MGS020. 3 Edge Contact Sensor Edge Sensor for Open Cycle Edge Sensor for Close Cycle NON-CONTACT SENSORS If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. It is best to use monitored photoelectric sensors, model CPS-UN4. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL gate operation in that direction will stop. Unmonitored photoelectric sensor models AOMRON and RETROAB are also acceptable. Safety Non-Contact Sensor Sensor for Close Cycle Sensor for Open Cycle 5
