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.
Installation on Concrete Curb WARNING 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. The barrier gate operator bolts to a concrete island or curb. 1. 2. 3. 4. Un-crate the gate.
Barrier Gate Arm Installation The barrier gate arm connects to the operator with the arm attachment channel and gate arm flange. Counterweights in the attachment channel balance the gate arm for smooth operation. 1 ✓ NOTE: Numbered items in these drawings are for instructional reference only. For actual part numbers, go to the parts lists in the back of this booklet. 2 5 Attaching the Gate Arm 1.
Operator Preparation Gear Reducer Vent Plug In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, gear reducers used in the SG and SG-D barrier gate operators have a sealed vent plug installed at the factory. Leaving the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 5). The breather pin can be discarded.
Operator Setup Controller Access The Controller in models SG and SG-D is located under the operator’s top cover. To access the Controller, from inside the operator, flip the two cover release latches up to unlock the operator’s top cover. Remove the cover to expose the Controller. The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover. To remove the dust cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off.

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 swing gate installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less commonly used (i.e.
Basic Controller Programming (Cont.) Maximum Close Direction Current Setting FUNCTION To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator can monitor its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the gate arm will stop, reverse, and travel to the full open position. Another close request will be required to start the operator again.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) FUNCTION Single Button Input Setup This function is used for selecting the operation for single button controls and radio receivers. OPTIONS SINGLE INPUT WILL CYCLE OPERATOR IN ORDER OF OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP "SB" SINGLE INPUT WILL OPEN OPERATOR, IF OPERATOR IS ALREADY OPEN, SINGLE INPUT WILL CLOSE OPERATOR The factory default sets the SINGLE input terminal so successive inputs will cycle the operator in OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP order.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Low Power Mode FUNCTION This function is only used with DC barrier gate Model SG-D. The factory default disables the Low Power Mode. When Low Power Mode is enabled, and AC power fails, the controller will assume Low Power Mode after 60 seconds of gate inactivity. Low power mode turns off all accessory power and indicators.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Maintenance Alert Trigger FUNCTION The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles. The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles. The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25 thousand cycles. The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the operator’s absolute Cycle Count.
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 Gate Operation Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire COMM LINK terminals. Open Button 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. Close Button A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation.
MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble Operation Indications During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will indicate current operating conditions and status. Power-up Display When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the display, then the firmware version number, then the gate type (bg for barrier gates). Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up display will show upon the restart.
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 Model SG and SG-D Maintenance WARNING Always disconnect power from operator before servicing. Keep clear of gate during operation. Battery Maintenance The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine maintenance. For assured continued performance, they should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the batteries as this will prevent deep discharging.
