b. Provide a handwheel, and an arrow with the word "OPEN" cast on the rim of the wheel, indicating the direction of opening. Effort required to operate the actuator manually with the gate in motion must not exceed 40 pounds at the wheel rim, and 80 pounds at the wheel rim to unseat the gate. The motor actuator must include a built in clutch mechanism so that the handwheel will not rotate during motor operation nor turn the motor during manual operation.

c. The unit must include a built-in lost motion device which will permit the motor to attain full speed after which a hammer blow must be imparted to the hoisting mechanism to initiate gate motion in either the opening or closing direction of travel.

d. Supply bronze lift nuts, made in two pieces with accurately machined splines or keys and threads. The two piece nut consists of an outer member, having a flange or flanges on the exterior and splines on the interior, which mates with an inner member having splines on the exterior and threads on the interior. The outer member must be mounted in the unit housing. Secure the inner member to the outer member by either a threaded retainer ring or another suitable arrangement.

e. After the gate has been either completely closed or securely supported in the partially open position, this inner member must be capable of being easily removed by disassembling its retaining arrangement and turning the handwheel. Each stem lift nut must be adequately designed, factory tested and inspected with the stem with which it will operate. Run each nut by hand throughout the length of the stem with which it will operate. The internal thread must have the lower or non working face relieved 1/64 inch to ensure that the threads will bottom out before wedging can occur. Drill the lift nuts or otherwise provide with adequate oil recesses and passages to ensure passage of lubricant to all interior threaded surfaces of the nuts. The internal arrangement of the motor actuator units must be such that all moving parts run in lubricant, with adequate fittings and seals provided to retain the lubricant. Use lubricant per recommendations by the actuator manufacturer.

2.3.3 Position Limit Switches and Torque Switches

The torque switches must be operative during the entire travel of the gate to protect the stem and gate against possible damage in the event an obstruction is met. The torque switches must function without auxiliary relays or other devices and be field-adjustable to ensure (1) stopping the lowering operation of the gate should the stem load for any reason become compressive to a degree greater than the normal seating requirements, and (2) stopping the raising operation should a 100 percent overload develop.

(1) For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code, enterprise identifier, and unique serial number within the enterprise identifier; or

(2) For items that are serialized within the original part, lot, or batch number, the linking together of the unique identifier data elements in order of the issuing agency code; enterprise identifier; original part, lot, or batch number; and serial number within the original part, lot, or batch number.

"Data matrix" means a two-dimensional matrix symbology, which is made up of square or, in some cases, round modules arranged within a perimeter finder pattern and uses the Error Checking and Correction 200 (ECC200) specification found within International Standards Organization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 16022.

"Data qualifier" means a specified character (or string of characters) that immediately precedes a data field that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows.

"DoD recognized unique identification equivalent" means a unique identification method that is in commercial use and has been recognized by DoD. All DoD recognized unique identification equivalents are listed at https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/ds/unique-id.html.

"DoD item unique identification" means a system of marking items delivered to DoD with unique item identifiers that have machine-readable data elements to distinguish an item from all other like and unlike items. For items that are serialized within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier and a unique serial number. For items that are serialized within the part, lot, or batch number within the enterprise identifier, the unique item identifier shall include the data elements of the enterprise identifier; the original part, lot, or batch number; and the serial number.

" Enterprise " means the entity (e.g., a manufacturer or vendor) responsible for assigning unique item identifiers to items.

" Enterprise identifier" means a code that is uniquely assigned to an enterprise by an issuing agency.

"Government's unit acquisition cost" means-

(1) For fixed-price type line, subline, or exhibit line items, the unit price identified in the contract at the time of delivery;

(2) For cost-type or undefinitized line, subline, or exhibit line items, the Contractor's estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery; and

(3) For items produced under a time-and-materials contract, the Contractor's estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery.

"Issuing agency" means an organization responsible for assigning a globally unique identifier to an enterprise, as indicated in the Register of Issuing Agency Codes for ISO/IEC 15459, located at http://www.aimglobal.org/?Reg_Authority15459.

"Issuing agency code" means a code that designates the registration (or controlling) authority for the enterprise identifier.

"Item" means a single hardware article or a single unit formed by a grouping of subassemblies, components, or constituent parts.

" Lot or batch number" means an identifying number assigned by the enterprise to a designated group of items, usually referred to as either a lot or a batch, all of which were manufactured under identical conditions.

"Machine-readable" means an automatic identification technology media, such as bar codes, contact memory buttons, radio frequency identification, or optical memory cards.

"Original part number" means a combination of numbers or letters assigned by the enterprise at item creation to a class of items with the same form, fit, function, and interface.

"Parent item" means the item assembly, intermediate component, or subassembly that has an embedded item with a unique item identifier or DoD recognized unique identification equivalent.

"Serial number within the enterprise identifier" means a combination of numbers, letters, or symbols assigned by the enterprise to an item that provides for the differentiation of that item from any other like and unlike item and is never used again within the enterprise.

"Serial number within the part, lot, or batch number" means a combination of numbers or letters assigned by the enterprise to an item that provides for the differentiation of that item from any other like item within a part, lot, or batch number assignment.

"Serialization within the enterprise identifier" means each item produced is assigned a serial number that is unique among all the tangible items produced by the enterprise and is never used again. The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the enterprise identifier.

"Serialization within the part, lot, or batch number" means each item of a particular part, lot, or batch number is assigned a unique serial number within that part, lot, or batch number assignment. The enterprise is responsible for ensuring unique serialization within the part, lot, or batch number within the enterprise identifier.

"Type designation" means a combination of letters and numerals assigned by the Government to a major end item, assembly or subassembly, as appropriate, to provide a convenient means of differentiating between items having the same basic name and to indicate modifications and changes thereto.

"Unique item identifier" means a set of data elements marked on items that is globally unique and unambiguous. The term includes a concatenated unique item identifier or a DoD recognized unique identification equivalent.
