EXECUTION

3.1

EXAMINATION

Verify that trenching, backfilling, concrete foundations, pads, anchor bolts and adjacent construction are ready to receive vehicle gate systems and are within tolerances acceptable to manufacturer.

Verify that required electric and control conduit, wiring, grounding and service utilities are in correct location and are of correct capacities for specified products.

If preparation and condition is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect or authority having jurisdiction of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.

3.2

PREPARATION

Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.

Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

3.3

INSTALLATION

General: Install vehicular gate systems in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and the authorities having jurisdiction.

Operator Installation:

Operator Expansion Bolt Mounting: Anchor through base plates to concrete substrate.

Install all loose shipped operator lower panels and guarding per manufacturer instructions.

Gate/Barrier Installation:

Install so it is plumb and level when fully closed within the following tolerances:

Maximum misalignment from true position: 1/4 inch (6.0 mm).

Maximum misalignment between adjacent separated members: 1/8 inch (3.0 mm).

Adjusting: Adjust and lubricate operating components for smooth, accurate operation free of binding and racking.

3.4

FIELD TESTING

Vehicle barrier system shall be initially started and commissioned by a certified manufacturer-authorized field service technician. Perform tests in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Facility Electrical Power: Verify all wiring terminations before turning on electrical power. Verify voltage from facility electrical power feed.

Unit Start-up: Prepare for initial start-up by a factory-trained, manufacturer-authorized field service technician.

Motor shall be jog started (but not run) to verify the correct direction of electric motor rotation.

Perform Pre-Operation checks in accordance with the manufacturer's Operation and Maintenance manual.

Initial Operation: Cycle vehicle barrier to raise and lower the gate and ensure proper, smooth operation.

Correct and repair operational anomalies, failures, malfunctions and/or other equipment trouble for proper operation.

Make adjustments required for the proper operation of the overall vehicle gate system specific to site conditions.

Verify all functions, control, monitoring, indications of all integrated equipment is properly operating as a system.

Notify the Architect or authority having jurisdiction and manufacturer of any equipment failures and/or malfunctions during field testing.

Submit a Test Report with progress photographs and test data verified by the manufacturer to the Architect after completion of field testing.

Upon completion of installation place the gate/barrier in an open position and maintain vertically clear of traffic and surrounding fence line installation.

3.5

START-UP AND DEMONSTRATION

Manufacturer's Service Representative: Provide at least 2 hours of manufacturer's representatives time on-site for start-up and initial operation. Make a final check of each gate operation with Owner's personnel present and immediately before date of Substantial Completion or commissioning.

Instruct Owner's personnel in proper use, operation, and regular maintenance of the gate system. Review emergency provisions, including procedures to be followed if gate does not close or open. Review and demonstrate manually opening and closing the gate system in the event of total loss of power.

Instruct Owner's personnel in proper use, operation, and maintenance of all accessories and entrapment protection devices and provisions such as but not limited to: lights, access controls, photo eyes, contact sensors, barrier screening or fencing, etc.

Train Owner's personnel in normal procedures to be followed in checking for sources of damage to wind bracing, operational failures or malfunctions.

Full wind load rating is subject to the wind bracing remaining in excellent condition and not compromised.

Periodic inspection is a must in order to maintain full wind load rating. Any dents, bends, nicks and loose bolts will affect the performance of the bracing must be corrected or repaired.

Additional, non-factory supplied signage must be approved by manufacturer.

Determine that control systems and operating devices are functioning properly.

Adjust control systems as required and as directed.

3.6

CLEANING AND PROTECTION

Remove dust or other foreign matter from component surfaces; clean finishes in accordance with manufacturer's instructions

Protect installed products until completion of project.

Ensure that finishes and structure of installed systems are not damaged by subsequent construction activities.

If minor damage to finishes occurs, repair damage in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations; provide replacement components if repaired finishes are unacceptable to Architect or authority having jurisdiciton.
