SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION OF OPERATOR Prior to beginning the installation of the barrier gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the instructions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner. The proper installation of the vehicular barrier gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.
1.2 Concrete Pad Requirements The operator and auto spike system must ONLY be installed on a concrete pad with a minimum 6 inch depth. The concrete pad must be FLAT and LEVEL (Check local building codes for restrictions). Reinforced concrete recommended. It is recommended that the “Spike” sections not exceed 9 feet (Three 3-Ft spike sections) for proper operation. Note: Operator shown mounted on the LEFT side of traffic lane (preferred).
1.4 Dual Operator Installation (Primary/Secondary) LEFT Side For use in areas needing more than three 3-Ft spike sections (9 ft. of spikes) in a traffic lane. Up to six 3-Ft spike sections (18 ft. of spikes) can be used with dual operators.
SECTION 2 - WIRING Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor perform this work.

SECTION 3 - AUTO SPIKE SYSTEM INSTALLATION The operator and auto spike system must be installed on a flat and level concrete pad with a minimum 6 inch depth (Check local building codes for restrictions). Reinforced concrete recommended. It is recommended that the “Spike” sections not exceed 9 feet (Three 3-Ft spike sections) for proper operation. 3.1 Connect Sections Together on Concrete Pad Snap all sections together using male-to-female socket connectors with spikes aligned in UP position.
3.2 Test Spikes DO NOT anchor the sections to the concrete until the spikes have been tested and they operate smoothly. If spikes are not in the correct UP and RETACTED positions during operation as shown on previous page, some adjustment will be required (See below).
3.3 Secure EACH Section to Concrete Extreme force is exerted on the sections every time a vehicle drives over them. It is important that they have enough anchors in them to keep them securely in place. After you have tested the spikes and are satified with the way they perform, without moving the sections, secure EACH section in place with 16 sleeve anchors (8 sleeve anchors are located inside the sections. The ramps will need to be unbolted to gain access to the mounting holes).
