GATE OPERATOR OVERVIEW
2
Carefully read, follow, and accept all safety precautions and warnings before attempting to install and
use a gate operator, incorrect installation can lead to severe injury or death.
SAFETY
3
• The gate operator should be installed by a trained gate technician; otherwise serious personal injury
or property damage may occur.
• Installing a gate operator may require installation of standard 110V-120V AC electrical wiring. This
work should only be performed by an experienced technician. Miswiring could cause personal injury or
DEATH.
• Never let children operate the gate or play around the gate. Keep the remote control away from
children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate. Cars, people, and other objects should never
enter when the gate is closing.
• Verify that this operator is proper for the type, weight, and size of the gate.
• Make sure the gate has been properly installed and slides freely in both directions. Repair or replace
all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation.
• Test gate operator monthly. The gate must reverse when it comes in contact with a solid object, or
stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or travel limit, re-test
the gate operator. Failure to maintain the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
• Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
• Keep the gate properly maintained. Read the owner's manual on how to maintain your gate. Have a
certified service technician make repairs or install gate operator hardware.
• The gate entrance should be used for vehicles only. Pedestrians should use a separate entrance.
• Gate operators can use a huge amount of force to open and close a gate. Therefore, safety features
must be taken into consideration when installing and using a gate operator. Specific safety features
include: photoelectric sensors, edge sensors (contact), moving gate warning signs, guards for exposed
rollers, screen mesh, vertical posts, and more.
• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and
adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
• A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed in the area of the gate. Each placard should
be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on which the signs are installed.
• Access controls intended for users must be located at least 6 feet (1.8m) away from any moving part
of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around, or through the gate to
operate the controls.
•Keep these instructions.
UL 325 standard is a safety standard for electric gate openers. For full instructions, visit the UL325
website.

• A minimum of two (2) warning signs shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily
visible.
• The gate must have sufficient room when opening and closing. Swinging gates should open
inwards and not into public access areas. The gate must be properly installed and move freely in
both directions.
• Install the gate operator only when: 1) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate
and the usage Class of the gate, 2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened
from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4
inch (57.15 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in
that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position, 3) All exposed pinch
points are eliminated or guarded, and 4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers, could be UL
approved
• The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of
the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate
for a damaged gate.
• For gate operators utilizing Type d protection: 1) The gate operator controls must be placed so that
the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving, 2) The placard as required by
52.1.1.6 shall be placed adjacent to the controls, 3) An automatic closing device (such as a timer,
loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and 4) No other activation device shall be
connected.
• Controls must be far enough from the gate (at least six feet) so that the user is prevented from
coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset
an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be
located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security
feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1: 1) See instructions on
the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of application, 2) Care shall be exercised to
reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving, and 3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
• For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1: 1) One or more contact
sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and
outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. 2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the
bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. 3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the
pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate. 4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its
wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subjected to mechanical damage. 5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator 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.
Requirements for UL Compliant Installation
• The gate operator is intended for installation only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must access a
separate entrance. The pedestrian entrance shall be designed for pedestrian usage. The gate must
be installed in a location so that pedestrians will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during
the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
• The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the
reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and
adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates
shall not open into public access areas.
Requirements for UL Compliant Installation

Before the Gate Operator Installation
Gate Structure
Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the gate type, weight
and size. The gate should be mounted and moving freely. There should be little
resistance in the movement of the gate. The gate and post must be suitable for being
automated. Check that the structure is sufficiently strong and stable, and that its
dimensions and weights conform to those listed in the specifications table of this
document. Any worn or damaged gate hardware must be repaired or replaced before
installing the gate operator.
Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit
unauthorized use of the gate.
Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with the ASTM F2200
construction standards.
Electricity
The CM6 is powered by 110V-120V AC power. If you have not already done so, and you
are not using solar, wire a waterproof outlet near the gate following proper safety
standards for your area. If you are not experienced with this type of wiring or if your
area requires it, hire a professional electrician to perform this as well as wire in the CM6
gate operator. Make sure your electrician takes into account the voltage drop involved
in running many feet of wire to your installation location. If an insufficient gauge of wire
is used, the gate operator may have insufficient power.
The gate operator must be disconnected from the power source before the installation.
This also includes gate operator accessories.
