Before attempting to install, operate or maintain the operator, you must read and fully understand this manual and follow all safety instructions. These instructions are intended to highlight certain safety related issues. These instructions are not intended to be comprehensive. Because each application is unique, it is the responsibility of the purchaser, designer, installer and end user to ensure that the total gate system is safe for its intended use.

UL325 MODEL CLASSIFICATIONS (CON’T) SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTIONAll UL325 compliant LiftMaster gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application. Below are the 6 types of entrapment protection recognized by UL325. Entrapment Protection TypesType A: Inherent obstruction sensing system, selfcontained within the operator.

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION 1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application. 2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander.
SAFETY LABEL PLACEMENT The UL required Warning Signs must be installed in plain view and on both sides of each gate installed. Each sign is made with fastening holes in each corner and should be permanently secured in a suitable manner. Warning label on unit should be visible. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SWING & ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES Injuries can occur when pedestrians stand in the path of a moving gate, or in their entrapment zones.
POST MOUNTING (SW470) FIGURE 1 NOTE: For the following instructions refer to figures 1 & 2. 1. Locate and anchor two posts made of 3” outer diameter heavy walled pipe. Posts should be parallel and square to the gate. (See figure 1) FENCE 30" 23" 9.5" 3" O.D. PIPE (2 REQ'D.) CONCRETE PAD 16 X 32 MINIMUM IMPORTANT NOTE: The distance between mounting posts and the relative location of the operator to the gate and fence is critical. OPERATOR PARALLEL MOUNT 2.

CL 24" IMPORTANT NOTE: The relative location of the operator to the fence and the gate is critical. Be sure that the measurements for operator mounting are taken from the centerline of the fence and of the gate hinge. 1/2" REDHEAD (4 REQ'D.) 22-1/2" 9-3/4" 8" CONCRETE PAD 18" X 34" MIN. OPERATOR 2.
PAD MOUNTING (SW490) FIGURE 1 NOTE: For the following instructions refer to figures 1 & 2 and SW490 gate installation table below. 1. Measure the gate length and select appropriate “P” dimension from the gate installation table. 2. Layout the concrete pad as detailed in figure 1. IMPORTANT NOTE: The relative location of the operator to the fence and the gate is critical. Be sure that the measurements for operator mounting are taken from the centerline of the fence and of the gate hinge. 3.
CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY (SW470) 1. Set the control arm stop on the operator in the positions appropriate for the installation. (See figure 1) FIGURE 1 CLOSE STOPS 2. Install the arm channel to the hub assembly to the operator output shaft. 3. Secure the arm channel to arm hub with 1/4-20 black plastic knobs provided (Hub is factory installed, see figure 2). LEFT HAND INSTALLATION RIGHT HAND INSTALLATION SW470 PARALLEL TO FENCE 4. Assemble extension arm to control arm.
CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY (SW490) 1. Set the control arm’s close stop on the operator so that it’s position corresponds with the handling of the installation. (See figure 1) FIGURE 1 CLOSE STOPS 2. Remove the open stop, as it is not to be used in this application. Use any existing hardware necessary to seal the open stop’s hole in the operator’s cover. 3. Measure the length of the gate panel and select the appropriate extension arm (x) and control arm (Y) dimensions from the gate installation table.

INSTALL POWER WIRING & CONTROL STATION WARNING WARNINGWARNING RNING ANY MAINTENANCE TO THE OPERATOR OR IN THE AREA NEAR THE OPERATOR MUST NOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL POWER AND LOCKING-OUT THE POWER VIA THE OPERATOR POWER SWITCH. UPON COMPLETION OF MAINTENANCE THE AREA MUST BE CLEARED AND SECURED, AT THAT TIME THE UNIT MAY BE RETURNED TO SERVICE. CAUTION WARNING UTION DISCONNECT POWER AT THE FUSE BOX BEFORE PROCEEDING.
DISCONNECT SWITCH POWER WIRING NOTE: Before running power wiring refer to wiring specifications on page 14 for correct wire gauges. Important: On three phase operators, power connections must be properly phased. If phased incorrectly, the gate operator will run reversed. To correct this situation, shut off power at main power source and at the operators electrical disconnect switch. Then reverse any two of the three power leads.
RADIO RECEIVER INSTRUCTIONS (412HM TO GL OPERATOR) Receiver Commercial/Residential Radio Function 412HM to Operator Wiring Instructions 1. For Receiver Power, wire 412HM receiver terminal 1 to GL operator terminal R1 and receiver terminal 2 to operator terminal R2. NOTE: SW470/SW490 operators are factory wired for commercial radio applications. This means that the R3 & R4 terminal cause the operator to open only when activated.
SAMS (SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) SAMS DEFINITION The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to areas such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is controlled by two gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure or ornamental gate such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate operator.
OPTIONAL CONTROL DEVICES All inputs are normally open and momentary, except the stop (N.C.). The following instructions are based upon UL 325, and include recommendations for significant increase in safety. We strongly recommend that you follow the UL guidelines presented throughout the manual. Refer to instructions shipped with optional control devices for mounting, wiring, programming and adjustment.
OPTIONAL CONTROL DEVICES Terminals 9 & 5 - Obstruction Open (Edge/ Photo Eye Input) Edge Input: See Programming Section This input will reverse an opening gate to the close limit. Activating this input when the gate is closing will have no effect. Note: If upon reversal a second seperate obstruction is detected (gate edge or R.P.M. sensor), gate will stop & alarm.

CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES MOTOR LEARN FUNCTION (FORCE PROFILE) This function is preprogrammed at factory. If either board or motor is replaced, the controller will need to be programmed to “LEARN” the specific motor RPM profile only of your operator. Switch “S3” is provided for this. This is important for accurate force control. Failure to do so may result in improper and unsafe operation. MOTOR LEARN BUTTON To learn the motor: NOTE: Motor Learn must be performed in stand along mode. 1.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH #1) NOTE: For all S1, S2 and S4 switch settings to take effect, the Save Mode must be set to the off position. TIMER TO CLOSE TIMER TO CLOSE ENABLE This switch (S1-1) enables the auto close timer. The timer to close feature works in conjunction with the potentiometer located on the board.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH #2) CONT’D EDGE/PHOTO OPEN This switch (S2-3) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate opening protection input. EDGE/PHOTO CLOSE This switch (S2-4) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate closing protection input. Open Photo Eye (Pause): When the controller is configured for photo eyes, the input functions to pause the gate during the opening cycle. Once the input is cleared the gate continues to open.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Symptom Operator fails to run. Possible Causes No Stop Control. Fault in the operator. Check the yellow diagnostic LED at the top right of the GL board next to the programming dip switches. An accessory is active or malfunctioning. Check the red input status LEDs, D11-D31. Improper J4 Connector Wiring (Master/Second) Low or no high voltage power. Low or no low voltage power No LEDs illuminated on GL board. The contactor chatters when the operator begins to move.

HALL EFFECT SENSOR ADJUSTMENT NOTE: Normally the Hall Effect sensor does not need adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping vibration or rough handling. WARNING TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER BEFORE ADJUSTING HALL EFFECT. These operators use an internal entrapment protector system. This system consists of the GL control board, magnet, and Hall Effect sensor. It may become necessary to adjust the sensor for correct alignment.
