Installing Patriot Control Board
Effective January 12, 2016 all vehicular gate operators manufactured are required to have provisions
for and to monitor for at least two independent entrapment protection means. Both are to be installed
and operational to meet the standards defined in UL325 6
UL325 assumes that every slide gate installation has an entrapment area. Requiring all operators
to have an external secondary entrapment device installed and monitored before gate operation is
allowed.
Automated gate operator systems installed before Jan. 12, 2016 are not required by the UL325
standard to be upgraded to the current standard when service is being performed. It is recommended
that these systems be upgraded to the current UL325 standard.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to identify entrapment areas and install the UL325
compliant entrapment protection device or devices to protect each area identified.
What is Entrapment?
The condition of being caught or held in a position that increases the risk of injury. ASTM F2200
NOTE: Patriot control board part # 500002 has been designed to meet both
current and past UL325 standards. When installing in a pre-2016
system that is not being upgraded to the current UL325 standard the
pre-2016 jumper must be installed.
The secondary entrapment input J2 pin 6 required for pre-2016 systems is
labeled on the control board as contact edge 2
pin 6 input has not changed and re-wiring of existing secondary entrapment
devices is not required.
For this input to operate in pre-2016 mode you MUST turn on DS2 dipswitch 4.
Once installed, use the logic chart below to verify proper operation of the secondary entrapment
device installed.
Gate Opening Edge Activated 1
Gate stops and reverses to full close
Auto Close Disabled.
Requires a Push Button, Close or Open
input before normal operation resumes.
If while closing after above reversal a

limit then
Shut down
Require reset before normal operation

Important: USAutomatic strongly recommends that all pre-2016 systems be upgraded to the current
UL325 standard to provide maximum protection against entrapment.
