PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES The LPX1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory. It has many features that will aid in the installation and testing of the complete gate system. The LPX1000 is certified to comply with the ANSI / UL Standard for Safety 325.
A: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN / INSTALLATION WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS! GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK LIST: 104949 • The LPX1000 operator may be installed on a Class I, II, III, or IV Vehicular Slide Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight & length etc.).
A: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN & INSTALLATION • Entrapment Zones: Design in personal entrapment protection devices to protect people from entrapment in the zones shown in Figure 3 and the information and diagrams on pages 11, 12, and 13. Install vertical posts with gate edges attached on both sides of the gate to prevent body entrapment. MOVING GATE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH • Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.
B: PREPARING THE SITE THE CONCRETE OPERATOR PAD Installation requires the presence of a suitable concrete pad as a base for the operator. The dimensions of this pad should be at least 12" greater than the dimensional pattern of the operator mounting holes. The top of the pad should be 7" above grade to raise the operator above any standing water, while the depth of the pad below grade is dependent on the soil conditions at the installation site and the size of the gate.
B : PREPARING THE SITE 7 Figure 7: Service Conduits WARNING! RISK OF ENTRAPMENT Vehicle detector loops will not detect smaller vehicles such as motorcycles, golf carts, bicycles, or pedestrians. Photoelectric detectors, edge detectors and separate pedestrian access must be installed.
B: PREPARING THE SITE For a saw-cut installation, observe the method recommended in Figurez8 for the corners. When installing a two-loop reversing system it is best to bring the twisted lead wires from each loop to the operator so that the loops may be properly phased. The saw cut must be to a depth of 1.5 inches, clean and with no sharp corners.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR 9 ATTACHING THE CHAIN BRACKETS and PLACING THE LPX1000 OPERATOR The chain brackets provided with the LPX1000 operator are mounted on each end the gate with the centerline of the slot 8" above the top of the operator pad. You will normally require a welder, or an electric drill with a 3/8" bit, for attaching the chain brackets to the gate. See Figures 9 and 10. From the center of the slot in the bracket, run a string line taught from one chain mounting bracket to the other.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR shunted to ground. This must be done without raising the potential of the circuitry in the LPX1000, with respect to ground, to the levels that will damage the solid state circuitry. Lightning strikes generate enormous currents for very short periods of time. Unfortunately, the period of time is long enough to damage solid state components and many times, other components.

C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR INSTALLING AND WIRING VEHICLE DETECTORS REVERSING LOOP VEHICLE DETECTOR: If a Reversing Loop Vehicle Detector is to be a part of this installation, start with this first. Install a 24 VAC powered, 11 pin (round configuration) vehicle detector module into the detector socket. The vehicle detector module must have a relay contact output. The Reversing Loop socket is preinstalled in the rear of the control panel and is the socket closest to the operator side wall.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR LEFT- OR RIGHT-HAND INSTALLATIONS The LPX1000 operator can be configured for left- or right-hand gate installations. See Figure 16. On a normal drive installation, when standing inside the gate and facing outwards, if the operator is on the right side of the gate, it's a right-hand installation. If the operator is on the left side of the gate, it's a left-hand installation.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR SETTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES Limit Switch “Open” - LH Installation (“Closed” RH) Before turning on the main power, set the limit switches which are located on top of the frame, between the control box and the reducer gearbox. See Figure 18. In a right-hand installation, the switch nearest the control box is the open limit switch. In a left-hand installation, the switch closest to the gearbox is the open limit switch.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR 17 WARNING! Figure 20: Switch Selectable Options RISK OF ELECTROCUTION DO NOT BEGIN TO SET OR RESET THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS UNTIL THE POWER IS TURNED OFF AT THE LPX1000 CONTROL BOX 110126 LOCATION OF SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS SETTING THE SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS There are three (3) option selection switches on the LPX1000 controller board that result in four (4) switch selectable options. Please review Figure 20.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 1. Use a voltmeter to assure the service voltage to the operator is 115 VAC. Connection to 220 VAC service is the most common cause of board failure in new installations and is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY! 2. No accessory equipment is installed in the control box. 3. All wires attached to the 22 position terminal strip on the control box are well clear of the motor V-belt and the limit switches. 4. The junction box cover is securely fastened.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR 17. Connect to Terminal #7, Close: Same as above Sequence #6.Connect to Terminal #13, Close Contact Sensor: Note that the Close Contact Sensor light comes on & remains on until the connection is removed. Observe that the both Motor Open and Motor Close lights are momentarily ON, then the Motor Close light goes out and the Motor Open light stays on for approximately 1 second then goes out. CHECK OF THE INDICATOR LAMPS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR TERMINAL STRIP REFERENCE CHART BI-PARTING INSTALLATION FINAL SETTINGS LIMIT SWITCHES - Push both gates together in the center of the driveway to set the closed limits. Push each gate open an equal amount to set the open limits. After cycling the gates the settings can be fine tuned to insure that the gates stop in their open positions at the same time.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR 21 TERMINAL STRIP REFERENCE CHART # NAME DESCRIPTION # NAME DESCRIPTION 7 CLOSE Momentary or continuous signal. On/ Off mode set by Switch #1 12 OPEN EDGE Momentary or continuous signal. WITH SWITCH 1 OFF: Once activated the gate will close fully. Activation while the gate is opening has no effect. Continuous signal required to move the gate when in the alarm mode. WITH SWITCH 1 ON: Gate does not respond to pushbutton input when in the normal mode.

TESTING THE VEHICLE LOOP DETECTORS 23 TESTING THE VEHICLE LOOP DETECTORS 1. REVERSING LOOP VEHICLE DETECTOR: . Pre-test: Pre-test the vehicle detector independently using the presence lamp on the front panel of the detector and a metal plate over the loop. When you are satisfied that the detector is working properly, connect the loop wires to terminals C and D, "REV LOOP", on the control panel of the LPX1000.
E: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE BASIC OPERATIONAL GUIDE •If the gate is fully closed an Open Button, Alternate, Radio or Free Exit input will cause the gate to begin moving in the open direction. •If the gate is fully open a Close Button, Alternate, or Radio input will cause the gate to begin moving in the close direction.
