What This Standard Covers
- Conduit sizes and fill requirements for gate operator and intercom cable runs
- Strike, mag-lock, and electric-latch power feed specifications and voltage drop limits
- Intercom station mounting heights and weatherproof housing requirements at entries
- Access reader placement geometry for vehicle and pedestrian gate approaches
- Low-voltage control wiring routing alongside gate operator power conduit
- Request-to-exit sensor placement for interior door release coverage
Who It Is For
- Landscape contractors and gate installers coordinating conduit with low-voltage trades
- General contractors managing entry sequence scope across framers and electricians
- Architects specifying access control in residential and estate construction documents
- Homeowners reviewing entry automation scope before construction begins
When To Use It

- During framing to confirm door and gate control box rough-in locations
- At pre-drywall review to verify all intercom and reader positions are in place
- Before gate operator installation to confirm conduit is correctly terminated

Field Notes
The entry sequence sets the tone for everything else on a property. A gate that hesitates or an intercom that sounds like a drive-through speaker is noticed immediately. The decisions that prevent those problems happen at rough-in, not at trim.
This one-pager is designed to travel to the jobsite. The GC can hand it to the landscape contractor and the electrician at the same time, and both trades know exactly what they are responsible for.
