8SYSTEM SAFETY
©Ghost Controls® 2020
This manual contains important safety precautions and
warnings for both the installer and end users or consumers
of this automatic gate opener system. The following warn-
ings and safety are intended to apply to the most common
applications but may not apply to all possible installation
and applications for these products. To reduce risk of
injury or death:
I. Carefully read and follow all safety precautions,
warnings, installation and operating instructions.
II. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE
GATE CONTROLS. Do not allow children or pets
to play near the gate opener system. Keep all gate
control accessories such as remote transmitters,
keypads, and push buttons out of reach of children
and store in a secure area when not in use.
III. Understand how to disconnect the power and
manually open the gate (beginning on “Manual
Gate Operation” on page 64) BEFORE
you begin using the gate opener system. If you
are unsure of any of these steps, please contact
GHOST CONTROLS® Technical
Support at 850-898-1411 or online at
ghostcontrols.com/pages/technical-support
IV. Disconnect the gate operator from the gate only
when the gate is not in motion and the opener
system is turned o.
V. Moving gates can be dangerous. No one, including
people or animals, should cross the path of a moving
gate. Maintain a safe distance from moving parts
and avoid any areas where hands or fingers could
be pinched.
VI. Become familiar with potential entrapment zones as
shown below and avoid these areas when the gate is
turned on.
VII. The gate opener system must be installed only
in applications that it is specifically designed for
including: frequency of use, length, and weight
of the gate.
VIII. Install the gate operator system on the inside of
the property, gate, or fence line to prevent public
access to it. Most applications are installed in a
pull-to-open configuration so that the gate opens
into the property and away from any public roads.
IX. The control board for the gate operator system
should be protected from unauthorized access
inside the control box to prevent tampering or
adjustments to its setting once installed. The
control box is designed so that a padlock can be
attached to keep the box securely closed. An
accessory Clevis Pin (AXLC) is available for
purchase to secure the rear mount of the
operator(s) (only) to the gate with a padlock.
X. Keypads and push-buttons to activate the gate
operator system must be a minimum of 10' away
IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT VISIBILITY TO
THE GATE so that the user can verify that any
potential entrapment areas are clear of potential
obstructions.
XI. The included warning signs must be attached to
each side of the gate to alert the public of the
automatic gate operator system. Please contact
GHOST CONTROLS® Technical Support for
replacement signs if yours become damaged.
XII. While the gate is moving do not drive into the gate
area to prevent entrapment and potential damage
to your vehicle, gate, AND the gate opener system.
XIII. Do not attempt to “race the gate” by driving
through the gate while it is opening or closing. This is
extremely dangerous and can cause damage to your
vehicle, gate, AND the gate opener system.
XIV. Maintain the gate and the gate opener system to
make sure that the gate continues to swing freely
and is level and plumb throughout the entire swing
path. The gate hinges should be lubricated regu-
larly, the condition of the battery checked every
few months, and all connections checked no less
than an annual basis.
XV. In the event that you sell the gate opener system
or your property with a system installed, please
provide these instructions to the new owners.

1. Persons are to keep clear! The gate is able
to be moved without prior warning.
2. DO NOT let children operate the gare or
play in the gate area.
3. Persons are to operate the gate only when
the gate area is in sight and free of people
and obstructions.
4. Persons are to read the user’s manual and
safety instructions.
WARNING
ALARM
Your GHOST CONTROLS® Gate Operator system
includes an audible alarm. This alarm will continue to
sound for 5 minutes when two sequential obstructions
are detected during gate travel per UL325 safety
standards or until one of the following occurs:
■The gate operator receives an intended signal from a
hard wired entry/exit source such as a push button or
a wired keypad. Note that wireless transmitters and
wireless keypads cannot deactivate the alarm.
■The gate operator system is powered o and then on
again at the main power switch in the control box.
NOTE
The alarm may also be used as audio feedback for other
modes of operation under normal operation.
SWING GATE PROTECTION AND
ENTRAPMENT ZONES
As specified in Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL325
(30A 1.1) 7th Edition, all gate operators must include
two independent means of entrapment protection. All
GHOST CONTROLS® Automatic Gate opener systems
meet this standard as indicated on the product packaging
through the following:
1. TYPE A Inherent.
2. Number one above AND either of the following two
options:
A. TYPE C Inherent force limiting.
B. TYPE B1 and B2 monitored contact and non-
contact sensors.
If you have questions about compatibility of third
party safety devices, please contact GHOST
CONTROLS® technical support for assistance
at https://myghostcontrols.force.com/Support/s.
Refer to the monitored photo eye instructions for proper
placement of the sensors. Proper installation of these
sensors is critical to avoid false tripping while gate is in
motion and to reduce potential entrapment.
CAUTION
Extreme caution must be exercised when automatic
gate opener system is in operation, regardless of which
safety systems are installed and in use.
