iMportant Safety inforMation
Hazards, associated with hardened vehicle barriers, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use.
Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety requirements found in the HySe-
curity product documentation.
It is important that only qualied installers handle the installation of HySecurity equipment and gate operator. A
“qualied” installer has one of the following:
• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment
• Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years
• Signicant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation
HySecurity vehicular barriers are marked to UL 508A for electrical safety. More importantly for high security instal-
lations, HySecurity barriers are either engineered to meet and/or tested to ASTM F2656.
WARNING
A vehicular barrier, by its very nature, can potentially damage vehicles or equipment and injure people. Vehicle barriers
prevent unauthorized vehicular trafc from passing through a particular site. If inadvertent contact with a hardened vehicu-
lar barrier transpires, the possibility of damage to property, and injury, or even death, to persons may occur. It is therefore
incumbent on the site designer, installer, and property owner to ensure that these hazards are mitigated and the public is
warned of the existence of a potential hazard. Read all the product safety information prior to installation. Verify the gate
operator is installed to comply with all safety standards and local and federal regulations.
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Read the gate operator’s product manual and review all the
product labels and literature prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the automatic gate operator.
2. Install the barrier only in accordance with the instructional materials supplied with it.
3. Never use vehicular barriers for pedestrian trafc. Allow for pedestrian trafc separate from vehicular traf-
c. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING BARRIER.
4. Never let children operate or play with barrier controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio trans-
mitters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the barrier.
5. Employ trafc calming features to limit speed, such as 90 degree turns just prior to the access point, chi-
canes set up with bollards or jersey barriers, or other means of slowing vehicular trafc.
6. Provide clear indication that there is an active vehicular barrier in use and that there are consequences of
inadvertently or purposely running into it.
7. Keep the barrier properly maintained per the maintenance instructions provided with the equipment.
8. For detecting vehicles in the active zone and preventing closing on a vehicle in transit, it is highly recom-
mended to install vehicle detectors in accordance with the product documentation. KEEP VEHICULAR
BARRIERS AND GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the product manuals. Have a qualied service
person make repairs to hardware and replace batteries in accessory or external entrapment protection
sensors on a regular basis.
9. In the case where Emergency Fast Operation (EFO) is enabled, it is highly recommended that a covered
switch be used, or some other means of mitigating the risk of accidental actuation (dual action switch,
dual palm switches, etc.).
10. Ensure the vehicular barrier is properly grounded and the incoming power matches the voltage label.
