(B from component list on page 3) using the dimensions in the table depending upon the
operator used (Phobos BT N or Phobos BT NL) and depending upon the desired opening
angle (90 degrees or 110 degrees). Secure bracket by welding or bolting.

Phobos BT NL (pull to open) with the gate fully closed. The closing limit switch must be
pulled all the way against the motor. Secure gate bracket (B from component list on page 3)
by welding or bolting.
Note: Do not mount gate bracket (B from component list on page 3) on vertical pickets.
Instead, weld a plate or a bar horizontally across several pickets for reinforcement. Install
both the gate and post brackets in a position to ensure that the actuator is level.
STEP 3
Install the Phobos BT N or BT NL on the mounting brackets and secure with retainer C clips
provided in the kit.
