The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access to emergency vehicles under dierent
operating conditions. Read all the following information. Make sure that your gate operating system is compliant
with all local codes and regulations and that access for emergency vehicles is assured.
• During normal operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by using an emergency vehicle access device
installed on your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent on local city
codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes, Click-2-Enter radio
receivers, strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc.
• Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up power system. In the
event of a primary (AC) power failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead batteries
for example), the system must have a release system to allow the gate to be manually operated. The release
device must be accessible from either side of the gate and must be present so that emergency personnel can
gain access through the gate under this condition.
• If applicable, this system is equipped with a manual release system that will allow the gate to be pushed open
in the event of a power outage or equipment failure.
• In the event of a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device may not be functional because the gate
operator is not powered.
• For manual fail-safe gate operation, turn power to the operator OFF. If a backup power system is in use,
be sure that this power is turned OFF also or disconnected. Once power is OFF, the gate can be manually
operated, by either releasing the actuator mechanical release or by disconnecting the actuator arm from the
gate bracket. Note that a drop pin is included in the actuator bolt kit to allow fast decoupling of the actuator arm
from the gate bracket.
9.3 EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
IMPORTANT!
Before manually opening the gate, verify that power has been shut o. To manually push open the gate:
’ Titan912L actuator = Disengage mechanical release, then open the gate manually.
’ 816 actuator = Remove the pin/bolt at gate attach bracket, then open the gate manually.
’ 3501 operators = Flip the toggle switch under the drive chassis, pull the arms away from the gate at the
elbow joint, then open the gate manually.
NOTICE
DC powered back-up systems are optional and your gate system may or may not be equipped with one.
Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up power system.
