U L L I S T I N G S A N D I N S T R U C T I O N S Installation Instructions Regarding the Gate Operator A) Install the gate operator only when: 1. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage Class of the gate. 2. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.
U L L I S T I N G S A N D I N S T R U C T I O N S G) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam: 1. See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for each Type of application. 2. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate still moving. 3.
U L L I S T I N G S A N D I N S T R U C T I O N S Important Safety Instructions Warning - To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE! 4. Test the gate operator monthly.
U L L I S T I N G S A N D I N S T R U C T I O N S Gate – A moving barrier such as a swinging, sliding, raising lowering, rolling, or like, barrier, that is a stand-alone passage barrier or is that portion of a wall or fence system that controls entrance and/or egress by persons or vehicles and completes the perimeter of a defined area.
W A R N I N G S A N D P R E C A U T I O N S Warning - To reduce the risk of injury to persons, The Miracle-1 is for Vehicular Gate use ONLY! Be sure to read and follow all these important instructions before installation of the gate operator. Elite Access Systems, Inc. is not responsible for improper installation or failure to comply with local building and electrical codes. DO NOT install upside down. DO NOT install on a few pickets, they will bend. Weld a reinforcement bar across entire gate.

P R O C E D U R E F O R M o u n t i n g I N S T A L L A T I O N I n s t r u c t i o n s Step 1: Remove the 4 screws and lift the operator cover off. Step 2: Release the mechanical lock by turning the key to the horizontal position. Step 3: Position the Miracle 1 horizontally level on the closed gate, where desired. For strength purposes, the front steel bracket must be attached in an area that can withstand heavy forces. Additional reinforcement steel plates may be necessary for mounting.
P R O C E D U R E F O R M o u n t i n g I N S T A L L A T I O N I n s t r u c t i o n s Step 4 (con't): The gate must be in the closed position. Make sure the operator is kept level while tack welding the front and back steel brackets and reinforcement steel plates in position. After all tack welding is finished, remove the operator! Refer to Step 6 2.25" Vertical Height Difference Refer to Step 7 Step 5: With the operator removed, completely weld around the brackets and plates on the gate.
P R O C E D U R E F O R M o u n t i n g I N S T A L L A T I O N I n s t r u c t i o n s Step 8: Make sure that the operator is level or it will not function properly. An off-level installation may cause the gate or operator to fail prematurely. Step 9: Lock the operator by turning the key to the vertical position while pushing or pulling on the gate until you hear the key release click into place. the gate should not move after the operator has been locked.
P R O C E D U R E A d j u s t i n g F O R t h e I N S T A L L A T I O N L i m i t S w i t c h e s Step 11: Adjust the travel distance of the gate with the limit switches. Loosen the 2 bolts of each limit switch armature. Slide to adjust. Position the outside limit switches of each armature to stop the gate in the “full open” and “full closed” positions. Re-tighten armature bolts when gate positions are correct.

Connect the lighting cables into Elite's plug-in transformer 24 VAC (Included). Polarity does not matter. The transformer needs 115 VAC.
W I R I N G A D D I T I O N A L I N P U T S Important: Wiring at 7 and 12 will be recognized as an Open Only command, and Will Not close the gate. To Close the gate with this wiring configuration, the control board timer must be turned ON. If the timer is not turned on, the gate will remain open. To provide close command use 4 and 5. Wiring at 4 and 5 will be recognized as a Three Push Button command. The First command will open the gate. The Second command will stop the gate.
