The Allstar HDSWG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide
convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is
ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected
and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the
installation and testing of the complete gate system. The HDSWG
1000 has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is
certified to comply with UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by
the UL symbol on the name plate. (115 Volt version only.)

Because the Allstar HDSWG 1000 (as well as gate operators sold by
other manufactures) is designed to start and move gates weighing as
much as 1200 pounds, or more,---the Allstar HDSWG 1000 is capable
of producing high levels of force. It is important in the design of the
total gate system that designers, installers and users be aware of the
hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design,
installation and use of Vehicular Gate systems and Gate Operators.
The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate
operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly
designed system will include all applicable safety devices.
As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also
have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL possible
operational hazards have been considered and eliminated. YOU
MUST ADVISE AND WARN the purchaser and the ultimate user of
ANY HAZARDS that you have not been able to eliminate.
The Allstar HDSWG 1000 has a built-in "overload detector" that
can help reduce the hazards of your gate system. This device,
however, must not be considered as the primary defense system.

* The Allstar HDSWG 1000 built-in overload detector will activate if
there is an abrupt increase in motor current above that normally
required to move the gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS
AN ADJUSTABLE SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT
THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE
TESTED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE
SENSITIVE THIS SETTING CAN BE MADE.

ADVISE THE PURCHASER TO CHECK THE SENSITIVITY OF
THE OVERLOAD PERIODICALLY AND, AFTER REMOVING
THE CONTROL BOX COVER, LOG THE DATE TESTED ON THE
LOG DECAL PROVIDED ON THE CONTROL BOX (See Figure 1,
below.)
The HDSWG 1000 is also provided with a Torque Limiter that may be
adjusted to "slip" when an obstruction is encountered. However, the
purpose of the Torque Limiter is to protect the HDSWG 1000
mechanical parts. Whether the overload is activated before the Torque
Limiter slips will depend upon the "tightness" of the adjustment of the
Torque Limiter. This adjustment will be explained in the final check
out of the HDSWG 1000.
