BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION. 1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The SW 2000 is a flexible and reliable gate operator system, but the quality of service depends directly on the quality of installation. Please read these instructions carefully and study the applicable diagrams before planning your installation. In particular, understand any site characteristics that may affect the system installation. WARNING 2.
PART 1 SITE PREPARATION A. LOCATION AND LAYOUT Figure 1.
• • NOTES Left Gate and Right Gate are determined by looking from inside the complex toward the street. Figure 1 shows a typical Bi-Parting gate in standard and compact installations. 1. Always install gate operators inside of the fence line, NEVER on the public side of the fence. 2. Mount all manual controls and activating devices at least 6 ft. away from the gate for safety. 3. Allow enough clearance around the gate and the gate operator for installation and service. B. PAD AND MOUNT Figure 2.
C. POWER WIRING 1. Provide a separate conduit stub for the AC power. 2. Each gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit NOTE: Master and Slave units each require separate circuits to prevent false overcurrent faults (see X3 Series Master/Slave Systems). 3. Wiring must comply with the local Electrical Code for operating a 1/2 HP motor. 12 AWG for up to 300' and 10 AWG for up to 500' long wire runs is suggested. 4.
PART 2 SYSTEM INSTALLATION A. GATE AND PHOTO-SENSOR LAYOUT Figure 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE The installation shown in Figure 3 is a suggested layout using emitters and receivers. Any UL-approved photo-sensors are acceptable, but they must cover the entire area of gate travel to be effective. 1. Install photo-sensors in three Coverage Areas as shown in Figure 3. Coverage Area A- Inside-Open Coverage: Inside the gate, from the gate post(s) to the gate fully open position(s).
D. RUNNING INPUT WIRING WARNING Route but do not connect input wires at this time. If inputs are connected now, the gate operator may activate at random during installation, potentially injuring installation personnel. 1. Remove the plastic control box cover. 2. Run wires from input components conduits and Master/Slave conduits into control box. 3. For Master/Slave wiring, refer to Master/Slave Systems for X3 Series Gate Operators, Part 2. E. SETTING GATE OPEN DIRECTION SWITCHES S2 AND S3 Figure 5.
F. POWER UP PROCEDURE CAUTION If gate is positioned at the 'open' limit, gate will automatically close if Relcose Timer is enabled and power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed limit or at no limit when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme caution and follow all warning in the Safety Summary. 1. Turn on circuit breaker that provides power to gate operator. 2.
H. GATE ARM INSTALLATION NOTES: 1. All dimensions are measured from one pivot point to the next pivot point. 2. The dimensions shown above are only recommended settings. Your installation may require different dimensions. 3. The SW 2000-X3 can be installed without welding. The anchor, swing arm and drag link may be attached using the supplied hardware only, welded, or bolted and welded. 4.
I. SETTING LIMIT CAMS • Adjust the limit cams by loosening the clamp and rotating the cams. The cams rotate with the swing arm shaft, so small adjustments are magnified by the length of the gate. • Use manual controls to move the gate during limit cam adjustment. • To avoid damage to the gate and gate operator due to the gate overrunning its limits, perform the following steps carefully: 1.
2. SETTING LEFT GATE LIMIT CAMS Top Limit Cam Closed Gate Bottom Limit Cam Top Limit Switch Open Gate Bottom Limit Switch 01-20099F2 Figure 9. Setting Left Gate Limit Cam 1. Make sure that switch S2 is set to the "Left" position. 2. Turn on gate operator power switch. 3. Using manual OPEN and STOP, move the gate to its proper open limit position. 4. Loosen the clamp on the bottom limit cam and turn the cam clockwise until it just barely closes the limit switch. 5. Retighten the clamp.
J. GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS The gate operator monitors both average and peak motor current. When the gate encounters an obstruction, the gate operator senses the change in motor current and reverses the gate. Three sensitivity adjustments must be set for each installation: • Right gate motion (R69) • Left gate motion (R160) • Inrush current (R203) NOTE: For swing gate operation, controls are Left/Clockwise and Right/Counterclockwise.
Left Gate Motion Adjustment (R160) 1. Open the gate fully, then initiate closing the gate. 2. Wait 4 to 5 seconds, then lightly "bump" the leading edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle. 3. If the gate does not stop or back up, reopen the gate and adjust the pot slightly counterclockwise. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the gate stops or backs up when bumped and has the desired sensitivity. "OPEN TO LEFT" ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES Left Gate Motion Adjustment (R160) 1. Initiate opening the gate. 2.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, see NOTES below. 1. Wire all external control devices to their connections on the control board as shown. See Appendix A for details on how each control input affects the gate operator. 2. Connect the Master/Slave interconnect cable (see Master/Slave Systems for X3 Series Gate Operators, Part 1). NOTES 1. Disconnecting the STOP terminal from the COMMON terminal stops the gate and prevents all commands from having any effect. Manual Open does not activate the Reclose Timer.
L. BASIC GATE OPERATOR PROGRAMMING Even if you plan to program the gate operator by telephone, you may want to enter some immediate instructions during installation. The following list of instructions will help you set basic controls so the gate will operate properly until you have time for full programming, either directly or by telephone. For complete programming instructions, refer to “SL 1000, SW 2000, and BG 3000-X3 Programming (-173 bd)”.
M. POST INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Setup 1. Turn on the main power at the gate operator's circuit breaker. 2. Verify that switch S2 (the Gate Open Direction switch) is set to the correct position. 3. Turn on the unit power switch. 2. Manual Inputs 1. Verify that Manual Open fully opens the gate and that the open limit switch stops the gate. 2. Verify that Manual Close fully closes the gate and that the close limit switch stops the gate. 3. Verify that Manual Stop stops the gate.
6. Alternate Action If Alternate Action has been selected so that CYCLE or RADIO commands both open and close the gate: Activate the CYCLE command, wait until the gate is fully open, then activate the CYCLE command again. The gate should close, verifying Alternate Action operation. Note: If you select Alternate Action, you can't enable ATG and RT in procedures 6 and 8. 7. Reclose Timer If Reclose Timer has been enabled in programming step 8, verify Reclose Timer as follows: 1.

APPENDIX A SYSTEM OPERATION REFERENCE CONTROLS, INDICATORS, INPUTS AND ADJUSTMENTS For control and indicator locations, refer to Figure 11. For detailed explanations of the Gate Operator's various, controls, indicators, inputs and adjustments, refer to the following pages. CONTROLS KEYPAD The 12-key keypad is used for local operation, programming and service. SWITCH S2 GATE OPEN TO Selects the direction the gate will open (LEFT/RIGHT).
FUNCTIONAL INPUTS NOTES: ➊ The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and may be momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command. Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command. ➋ Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer. When the command (except Manual CLOSE and STOP) is cleared, the Reclose Timer is reset.
INSIDE/OUTSIDE INTERRUPT LOOP DETECTOR (TB16) IF GATE TYPE IS SWING OR LINEAR (ATG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL): Inside Interrupt Loop: Activation stops an opening or closing gate and deactivation opens the gate. Outside Interrupt Loop: Activation opens a closing gate. IF GATE TYPE IS SLIDE OR BARRIER AND ATG IS DISABLED: Inside Interrupt Loop: Activation opens a closing gate. Outside Interrupt Loop: Activation opens a closing gate.
EXIT SENSE Input from exit loop provides signal for optional LiftMaster loop detector add-on board. Operation is the same as Exit Loop input, above. RADIO INPUT (TB6) RADIO RECV Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a radio receiver. Activation is the same as CYCLE. OBSTRUCTION ALARM (TB17) Relay contacts close to provide 24DC alarm power if the gate has two consecutive obstruction faults.
ADJUSTMENTS OBSTRUCTION RIGHT (R69) Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous rise in motor current. When the limit is exceeded, the gate stops and reverses a programmed distance (a minimum of 2 inches). OBSTRUCTION LEFT (R160) Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous rise in motor current. When the limit is exceeded, the gate stops and reverses a programmed distance (a minimum of 2 inches).
