Electric gate information
Please read the following information to find out more about existing and new gates, restricted
access switch (RAS) locations, customer responsibilities, installation guidelines
and SRP responsibilities.
Existing electric gates
For customers with existing electric entry gates, SRP provides the RAS at no charge
for the customer's gate installer to install. SRP in addition will pay up to $150
to the customers preferred gate company or technician for each RAS installation.
Customer(s) are required to install the RAS within 90 days of receiving
written notification from SRP. If a customer fails to comply within 90 days of
notification, the customer assumes responsibility for all the costs associated with
purchasing and installing the RAS assembly(s) on each existing main or guest entrance
gate and restricted exit gate(s). SRP will not provide the RAS(s) nor pay for the
installation(s) if the deadline is not met.
New construction
When submitting plans to SRP, the customer must identify all proposed electric gates and their locations. The RAS costs will be included with the upfront costs paid by the customer. The SRP Design office will give the RAS to the customer upfront after the customer has read and signed the addendum agreeing to abide by the installation requirements of the RAS attached to their contract with SRP. If the RAS is not installed by the time gates are operational, SRP will charge an additional re-inspection fee.
The requirements for new construction will also apply to any electric gates added by
customers to their property after Jan. 1, 2006.
Preferred location for RAS
The guidelines below describe the preferred location for the RAS. Please refer to the photos
for examples.
- The installation must not obstruct, impede, inhibit, or block the operation of
existing or proposed placement of gate operation devices for the local Fire
Department, Police Department and the U.S. Postal Service.
- For aesthetics purposes, typical pedestals will allow for the installation of the
RAS in a location that is less conspicuous.
- The preferred installation is on the right side of the pedestal behind the telephone
entry system.
For approval of non-standard installations due to the design of the pedestals,
contact SRP at (602) 236-8833.
