Safety Information Safety Information 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. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application.
Safety Information 7 STEP 2: DURING INSTALLATION 1 Disconnect power at service panel before making any electrical connection. 2 Avoid pinch points; be aware of all moving parts. 3 Adjust clutch or load sensing device to minimum force setting. 4 Do not overtighten clutch or adjust force setting above minimum. 5 Install controls where user cannot touch gate while operating controls. 6 Install two or more warning signs on the gate to alert persons in the area of automatic gate operation.
Safety Information Safety Precautions for Swing Gates and Ornamental “Grill Type” Gates ENTRAPMENT ZONES Pedestrians must stay clear of the gate path, particularly the area where the gate can trap them, as shown in Figure 1. 01-G0665F18 Figure 1 Gate edges and/or photo-electric beams must be incorporated into the swing gate system to assist in the protection of people who may come near the gate operating system.
Preparing the Installation Preparing the Installation Pre-Installation Check List ! Check the gate. It must operate smoothly and freely. If necessary, lubricate the hinges, adjust or repair the gate prior to operator installation. The gate must be level. ! Double check the size and weight of the gate to make sure that it is proper for this application. ! If wiring has already been installed, check to make sure it meets the following specifications.

Preparing the Installation 11 ONE BUTTON CONTROL (SEQUENCE OF OPERATION) The one button control can be programmed to function as an open command unless on the open limit, where it becomes a close button. DIGITAL MICROPROCESSOR This is the main circuit board for the operator. It contains all the logic and intelligence for the system. All the system programming is done on this circuit board. See page 21. It is solid state and contains an emergency back-up system that works even if the processor is missing.
Installation Installation In order for the gate operator to function correctly it is important that the gate be level and swing smoothly and freely. If it does not, damage to the operator may result and the life expectancy will be greatly reduced. SW470 gate operators have provisions for both post and pad mounting. However, because of the high torque involved in most swing gate installations, pad mounting is the recommended method. NOTE: Instructions are for right hand operator installation.
Installation 13 Pad Mount Installation 1 Lay out the concrete pad as detailed. Concrete depth should be below frost line or as required by local codes. " The SW470 may be installed perpendicular or parallel to the fence. " The SW490 may ONLY be installed parallel to the fence. CAUTION Be sure that the measurements for the operator mounting are from the centerline of the fence and centerline of gate hinge. 2 Locate electrical conduit, as required, prior to pouring concrete.
Installation Control Arm Assembly 1 SW490: Set the control arm stops on the operator in the positions appropriate for the installation. Then install the control arm and hub assembly to the operator output shaft. Make sure key is inserted properly in keyway. Lock with set screw. SW490 PARALLEL TO FENCE ONLY 01-G0665F20 Figure 7 2 Attach control arm extension to control arm on operator with (2) 3/8-16 x 1” long hex head bolts and lockwashers.

Installation 17 Limit Switch Adjustments Limit switches are pre-adjusted at the factory and should require only slight adjustments to suit individual installations. Refer to Figure 14 to identify limit switches. CAUTION Never make adjustments before making sure that power is off and that operator direction is selected by dip switch #1, pin #2 for left or right hand operation. TO ADJUST CLOSE LIMIT SWITCH TO ADJUST OPEN LIMIT SWITCH 1 Move gate to the desired fully closed position.
Installation Electrical Power Connections CAUTION Make sure power is disconnected at the main power source and at the operator’s electrical disconnect switch before proceeding. Secure all electrical power connections inside the power wiring compartment. Use the electrical wiring diagram supplied with this unit. All single phase operators will have – L1 (neutral), L2 (hot) and ground. All three phase operators will have – L1, L2, L3 and ground. It is very important that operator is properly grounded.

All inputs are normally open and momentary, except the stop (NC), and emergency close and emergency open (constant pressure). The following instructions are based upon UL 325, dated March of 1999 and include recommendations for significant increase in safety.
Manual Operation and System Check-Out Manual Operation and System CheckOut SW470 Manual Gate Operation Remove the (2) black plastic knobs which secure the control arm assembly to the operator. The gate will swing freely when the arm assembly is removed. Preliminary System Check Out Before adding any options, accessories or adaptions, it is highly recommended that you check out the system and its programs. If you have not already done so, temporarily connect a three button station to the operator.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting A properly installed SW470 or SW490 operator will operate for many years with a minimum or service maintenance. It is important to note, however, that a binding or defective gate can severely reduce the life of the operator. The gate operation should be checked frequently as recommended by the manufacturer. All operator bearings are of the lifetime sealed anti-friction or impregnated type. The motor is factory lubricated and requires no additional lubrication.
