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.
•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.
•If the gate is moving in a Close direction a Close Non-Contact Sensor,
Close Contact Sensor input or a Close Overload activation will cause
the gate to stop, pause and reverse for approximately 2 inches in the
Open direction.
•If the gate is moving in a Close direction an Open Button, Radio,
Reversing, or Free Exit Loop input will cause the gate to stop, pause,
reverse and run in the Open direction.
•If the gate is moving in a Close direction a Stop Button or Alternate
input will cause the gate to stop. A subsequent Alternate input will
cause the gate to begin moving in the Open direction.
MANUAL OPERATION - All LPX17000 models employ Allstar’s Fail Secure Lock Mechanism where the
lock is activated whenever the gate is not moving. The gate can be moved open or close in case of power failure or
other need to move the gate manually without disconnecting the operator chain. Take off the operator cover
by first removing any lock attached to the lock tab on the operator front, remove the cover attachment
bolts then lift the cover over the tab and directly overhead off the unit. Remove power from the unit
by turning the Main Power Switch on the control box to the OFF position or turn off power at the
main circuit breaker box feed. Move the Manual Operation Actuator Lever to the RELEASE
(UN-SECURE) position (see Figure 25) by pulling the lever up slightly to clear the tab
and moving it toward the gate. Ensure the lever is reseated on the tab in the
RELEASE (UN-SECURE) position. Firmly grasp the leading edge of the gate.
Push or pull the gate in the direction desired. The amount of force required
to move the gate will depend on the gate weight and the inherent friction
of the overall system. Manual operation is to be attempted only
when the operator is not moving the gate under power.
To place the unit back into RUN (SECURE) operation
reverse the steps above. Before replacing the cover
ensure the Manual Operation Actuator Lever is reseated
on the tab in the RUN (SECURE) position and the
Main Power Switch is moved to the ON position.
Restore power at the main circuit breaker box feed (if
applicable).

MANUAL OPERATION
ACTUATOR LEVER
•If the gate is moving in an Open direction an Open Non-Contact
Sensor, Open Contact Sensor input or an Open Overload activation
will cause the gate to stop, pause and reverse for approximately 2
inches in the Open direction.
•If the gate is moving in an Open direction a Stop or Alternate input
will cause the gate to stop. A subsequent Alternate input will cause
the gate to begin moving in the Close direction.
•Two sequential activations of the operator’s integral Overload
detector (Open or Close direction) before the gate reaches a limit will
cause the operator to go into the alarm mode. Also a combination of
an Edge (OPN EDG or CLO EDG) activation and the operator’s
integral overload detection will cause the operator to go into the alarm
mode. To reset the operator remove the obstruction and either use
constant pressure on a control button connected to the OPEN or
CLOSE input and move the gate to a fully open or closed position or
turn off and restore the power to the operator. PLEASE NOTE the
alarm as described above is of a different pitch than the pre-move
delay alarm and alarm in motion that can be set to operate as one of
the switch selectable options, see page 15.
