PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES The LPX1700 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 LPX1700 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 LPX1700 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 5 ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM. MOVING GATE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH • Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3 at left and the information and diagrams on pages 11, 12, and 13. Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to minimize the risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and the roller.
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 operator from the breaker panel. Refer to the table below to determine the correct wire size. For distances greater than 1600', it is recommended that your local utility be contacted to install a service feeder for the installation. Wiring from external controls such as guard shack, telephone entry, keypad or card reader systems should be brought to the operator by a conduit separate from the High Voltage AC electrical hookup.
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 LPX1700 OPERATOR The chain brackets provided with the LPX1700 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 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. The Reversing Loop socket is pre-installed in the rear of the control panel and is the socket closest to the operator side wall. The actual loop is installed in the concrete or asphalt surface in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the information outlined earlier in this manual (see Page 7).

Activation of the Open while the gate is closing will cause it to re-open. Activation of the Close while the gate is opening has no effect.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR SWITCH 2 ON: The operator is configured for Left-hand operation. The motor Open and Close outputs and the open and close limit inputs are reversed by the control logic so rewiring is not necessary. NORMALLY OPEN / NORMALLY CLOSED STOP Selectable Switch SW1 (Switch 3) allows a Normally Open (where applicable/desired) or a Normally Closed Stop button (mandatory when selected) to be connected to the motor control board terminal block.

D: STARTING THE OPERATOR MOTOR CONTROL BOARD INDICATOR LED LIGHTS Figure 22: Indicator Lights There are 19 indicator lights on the control board of the LPX1700 operator. See Figure 22. These lights are used to verify proper operation of the LPX1700.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR immediately to the blow, the gate will pause and reverse approximately two inches. The overload potentiometer must be adjusted to the least force setting possible without causing "self-tripping" due to the gate's inherent friction or to variations in the track. Try readjusting the potentiometer several times by small increments, testing the gate in both directions of travel, until you are satisfied. Additional allowance must be made for high wind area applications.

E: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. 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. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. 4. Test the gate operator monthly.
E: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE 23 BASIC OPERATIONAL GUIDE •Whenever the operator is powered up it will function (for one cycle) as if option switch 4 is ON (Pre-move / Alarm-In-Motion). If the Timer To Close is active and the gate is open, the gate will close after it times out. If the Free Exit input is active (from a seven day timer for example) the gate will start open.
