  • Hi Bob,

    Flashes are not what I deal with more and more each year, battery backup to open IBC & IFC Special Construction SECTION 3110 Automated Vehicular Gate (UL325/ASTM F2200).

    Local AHJ in Cascade Township, MI had the Master remove the 24vdc from the 120vac 29 CFR 1910.399(3) "custom-made equipment and related installations." install to meet 29 CFR 1910.147 Control of Hazardous Energy.

    Now when the 120vac power is disconnected for Lockout service & maintenance the machines may startup on battery to go into "Fail Safe" or Fail Secure" mode while the 120vac power is off, and upon restore.

    The above gate that killed the 8-year old is the same type and with batter backup the gates in Cascade if triggered by a loop, SOS, Keypad, Card reader, Phone, or even another safety device the system was never locked out.

    The below was sad, many Michigan AHJ's don't inspect for anything other that the UL Label and approve the system without meeting any of the UL325 or ASTM F2200 minimum standards of construction.

    We are looking at putting together an "honest services" fraud against the municipalities that adopted Michigan PA 230 of 1972 by Municipal Ordinance the failed to hire competent officials, Plan Review, Inspections, and Building.

    Thanks ROG
