WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY INSTALL THE EXTENSION CABLE AND JUNCTION BOX Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies. The following items are required to complete the junction box installation: • 4 x 4 Junction Box with 3/4" NPT threaded port holes • Screws • PVC Conduit Trench across driveway to bury the extension cable. Use PVC conduit to prevent damage to cables. Junction Box 1 2 Open the junction box by removing screws (4) and set aside.
WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY WIRE THE EXTENSION CABLE TO THE CONTROL BOARD 1 2 3 Choose a knockout in the bottom of the control box. 4 Extend the cable and wires to Gate 2 connector on the control board. Connect wires as shown. 5 Insert a watertight connector through the knockout and tighten with nut. Extension Cable Insert the extension cable through watertight connector.
WIRING POWER WIRING POWER WIRING NUMBER OF CYCLES PER DAY This operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or a solar panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application. For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits.
WIRING POWER WIRING + CONNECT BATTERIES POWER WIRING CONTINUED... NUMBER OF CYCLES PER DAY (SOLAR) Swing Gate Installation (6 ft. 1200 lb. gate/19 ft. 500 lb.) SOLAR PANEL(S) Single Gate NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES. The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The gate operator is not supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4˚F.
WIRING CONNECT BATTERIES + ENGAGE THE OPERATOR CONNECT BATTERIES The batteries are charged in the circuit by the transformer or solar panel. LARGE METAL CONTROL BOX (XLM) 7AH BATTERIES 1 Turn OFF AC power to the operator at the circuit breaker and unplug the transformer. 2 Unplug the battery connector to the J15 plug labeled BATT(-)(+) DC(-)(+) on the control board by squeezing the plug and pulling it from the control board.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate. • Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. • NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate. • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT + OBSTRUCTION TEST FINE TUNE THE FORCE TEST BUTTONS 1 TTER OPEN The FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments.
PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS + ERASE ALL CODES REMOTE CONTROLS A total of 50 Security✚ 2.0™ remote controls and 2 keyless entries (1 PIN for each keyless entry) can be programmed to the operator. NOTE: When the memory is full the operator will exit programming mode and the remote control/keyless entry will not be programmed. The memory will need to be erased before programming any additional remote controls/keyless entries.
OPERATION MANUAL RELEASE + RESET BUTTON + REMOTE CONTROL + PARTY MODE MANUAL RELEASE In case of a power failure, the operator can be disengaged from the gate. With an operator, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky, which is normal and has no effect on function. RELEASE 1 2 3 Insert the key into the lock. Turn the key counter-clockwise 180°. Turn the release lever counter-clockwise 180°. Operator is in manual mode and the gate can be opened and closed manually.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE CHART + BATTERIES MAINTENANCE CHART Disconnect all power (AC, solar, battery) to the operator before servicing. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries to service the operator.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES CONTROL BOARD OVERVIEW CONTROL BOARD OVERVIEW SET OPEN Button The SET OPEN button sets the OPEN limit. See Adjust Limits section. SET CLOSE Button The SET CLOSE button sets the CLOSE limit. See Adjust Limits section. MOVE GATE Button The MOVE GATE buttons will either open or close the gate when the operator is in Limit setting mode. See Adjust Limits section. BIPART DELAY Switch The Bipart delay switch is used only for dual gates. See Bipart Delay section.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES ACCESSORY FEATURES ON CONTROL BOARD ACCESSORY FEATURES ON CONTROL BOARD A Open Input (& common) (3-Button Control Station, 4 terminals total) Open command - opens a closed gate. Hard open (maintained switch overrides external safeties and resets alarm condition) If maintained, pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit. Opens a closing gate and holds open an open gate (within line-of-sight).
ADDITIONAL FEATURES EXPANSION BOARD OVERVIEW EXPANSION BOARD OVERVIEW To AVOID damaging the circuit board, relays or accessories, DO NOT connect more than 42 Vdc (32 Vac) to the AUX relay contact terminal blocks. QUICK CLOSE Switch OFF: No change to the gate's normal operation. ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is deactivated it causes an opening or a stopped gate to close (ignores the Timer-to-Close).
ADDITIONAL FEATURES ACCESSORY FEATURES ON EXPANSION BOARD ACCESSORY FEATURES ON EXPANSION BOARD A Open Input (& common) (3-Button Control Station, 4 terminals total) Open command - opens a closed gate. Soft close (maintained switch does not override external safeties and does not reset alarm condition) If maintained, pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit. Opens a closing gate and holds open an open gate.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES GATE OPERATOR SETUP EXAMPLES GATE OPERATOR SETUP EXAMPLES The following are example setups for the gate operator. Your specific site requirements may be different. Always setup the operator system to the site requirements, including all necessary secondary entrapment protection systems.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES LIMIT SETUP WITH A REMOTE CONTROL LIMIT SETUP WITH A REMOTE CONTROL To set the limits using a remote control, first you will need a 3-button remote control that has been programmed for OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP. Refer to the Programming section. INITIAL LIMITS AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting the limits and force.
TROUBLESHOOTING CONTROL BOARD LEDS CONTROL BOARD LEDS The control board is equipped with many LEDs that have a variety of functions. The control board LEDs indicate the status of the operator, assist with programming, and diagnose potential problems with the operator.

Remove arm from gate and move gate manually.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING CHART FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIONS Obstruction in gates path does not cause gate to stop and reverse a) Force setting too high a) Adjust force setting. Retest that obstruction in gate’s path causes gate to stop and reverse direction. Photoelectric sensor does not stop or reverse gate. a) Incorrect photoelectric sensor wiring b) Defective photoelectric sensor a) Check photoelectric sensor wiring.
