Pre-installation Information Safety Information and Warnings Before You Begin... THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only 30 days from the date of shipment.
Wiring Specifications Refer to the following steps for details on power and accessory wiring for the operator. WARNING ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. USE COPPER WIRE ONLY! AC Power Wiring 1. Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and horsepower rating of your operator. 2.
Mounting Pad Installation WARNING Gate Preparation The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
Gate Bracket and Chain Assembly END OF GATE PIPE SHOWN REFERENCE ONLY ✓ NOTE: The item numbers shown in these illustrations are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer to the parts lists in the rear of this manual. 1 Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3). Before tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is parallel to the gate.
Operator Setup Controller Access The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover (single phase models only). To remove the dust cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off (see Figure 5). Manual Disconnect The manual disconnect shifter lever and the locking lever is illustrated in Figure 8. They can be found at the center and to the left inside the operator cabinet. (The handle of each has been finished in easy to spot red firm-grip coating.
Operator Setup (Cont.) Open and Close Limit Adjustment The limit nuts are not preset at the factory and must be adjusted for the gate in each installation. The limit switches are activated by two threaded nylon rotary limit nuts which are attached to a threaded limit shaft driven by a chain and sprockets from the main drive shaft. REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FILLER BEFORE ADJUSTING THE LIMIT NUTS.

Basic Controller Programming Programming Overview PROGRAM INDICATOR The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator. The programming fields are defined as “functions” that have “options”. To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming group contains the functions commonly used in most slide gate installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less commonly used (i.e.
Basic Controller Programming (Cont.) FUNCTION Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and another open request will be required to start the operator again.
Advanced Controller Programming FUNCTION Entering Advanced Programming Mode To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled. OPTIONS ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS WILL BE DISPLAYED After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions will be available on the programming display during the next programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Auxiliary Relay Mode FUNCTION The Auxiliary Relay has normally open and normally closed contacts. The factory setting disables the Auxiliary Relay. The relay can be set for: • Maglock: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only). • M4: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only).
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Reset Cycle Count FUNCTION PRESS ENTER TO START THE CYCLE COUNT DISPLAY The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been cycled full open and close. The cycle count can be displayed. The display will scroll the cycle count number, flashing two digits at a time from left to right.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) FUNCTION Radio Transmitter Learn PRESS ENTER (ONCE FOR EACH TRANSMITTER, UP TO 40 TRANSMITTERS TOTAL) ENTER "TL" The Controller’s built-in MegaCode® radio receiver can store the IDs of up to 40 transmitters. Refer to the figure for the steps required to learn transmitters.

Dual Gate Installations Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire COMM LINK terminals. DUAL GATE COMM LINK WIRING When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection signals the other operator to activate. Each operator functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring its inputs and accessories. OPERATOR #1 SHIELD A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation.
Reverse Input Gate Operation Open Button Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended until the OPEN button is released. If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the gate will reverse to the full open position.
Error Indications CONTROLLER ERROR CAUSES AND INDICATIONS During abnormal operation, the Controller’s displays and beeper will indicate the error condition that has occurred.
Gate stopping part way open or closed (but no visible obstruction) Troubleshooting Contacting Technical Support For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the Technical Services Department at: 1-800-421-1587 from 5:00 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific time Operator fails to start A. If the operator has been running a large number of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and tripped its thermal overload breaker.
6-Month Preventative Maintenance Preventative Maintenance WARNING Always disconnect power from operator before servicing. Keep clear of gate during operation. General Linear gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically.
