To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
•
ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment
protection systems for each entrapment zone.
•
Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone
who may come near a moving gate.
•
Entrapment protection devices MUST be located to protect in BOTH
the open and close gate cycles.
•
Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving
gate and RIGID objects, such as posts, walls, pillars, columns, or
operator itself.
