IMPORTANT! FOR SLIDE GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is important that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is a component part of a total gate operating system.
U/L INSTALLATION AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS INSTALLATION CLASSES CLASS I – RESIDENTIALVEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one to four single-family dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Ÿ 1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are relying on your design to provide a safe installation. Ÿ 2. The operator is supplied with a primary obstruction sensing entrapment protection system. The installation must also have a secondary entrapment protection system installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric edge system. Ÿ 3.
INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION Ÿ 1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency of use. If you are not sure, consult factory. Ÿ 2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk of entrapment when gate is opening or closing. Ÿ 3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in both directions. Replace or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation.
DURING INSTALLATION Ÿ 1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points. Ÿ 2. Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service connections. Connection location for controls and safety equipment can be found on the wiring diagram, and in this manual. Ÿ 3. Know how to operate the manual disconnect mechanism. Ÿ 4. Adjust the open and close force adjustment on the control board in each direction to the minimum force required to operate the gate smoothly.
Ÿ 6. Attach large warning signs provided to each side of gate in the most conspicuous place. Mount control station and smaller warning placard together within sight of the gate opening. WARNING Moving Gate Can Cause Serious Injury or Death. KEEP CLEAR! Gate May Move at Any Time. Children Should Not Operate Gate. Operate Gate Only When Area is in Sight and Free of People and Obstructions.
END-USER SAFETY WARNINGS The manufacturer of the gate operator does not know what type of gate you have, or what type of automatic system is installed on your gate. Be sure you’ve been fully instructed on the sequence of operation for your specific gate system(s). Keep the gate properly maintained and have a qualified service person make repairs. Ÿ 1. Be sure the following safety instructions are distributed to all persons authorized to use your gate. Ÿ 2. KEEP GATEWAY CLEAR (Front and Back) AT ALL TIMES.
Ÿ 3. DO NOT allow children to play near your gate, or to operate the gate. Ÿ 4. DO NOT operate your gate system unless you can see it when the gate moves. Ÿ 5. Be sure a pushbutton or key switch has been installed for manual electric operation in the event your radio or card does not work. Any mounted control station should be located a minimum of 10 feet from the gate so the gate cannot be reached through or touched. Any pushbutton located in a building should be installed within sight of the gate.
Ÿ 7. If your gate has open rollers, be sure roller guards have been purchased and installed.
Ÿ 8. Your gate system is required to have a primary and a secondary entrapment safety system installed and maintained. Ÿ 9. If your gate closes automatically, loop detectors should be installed to detect the presence of a vehicle. Ÿ 10. DO NOT increase force adjustment to compensate for a damaged gate. The gate should always be maintained to operate manually as easily as possible to provide maximum protection. Ÿ 11.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND ORNAMENTAL GRILLE-TYPE GATES Ÿ WARNING: INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH AUTOMATIC GATES ARE MAINLY INCURRED WITH OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND ORNAMENTAL “GRILLE TYPE” GATES. OPEN-ROLLER GATES Ÿ Injuries occur when people get their hands caught between the top of the gate and the roller. This potential pinch point should be guarded whenever an automatic operator is installed. Roller Guards are available from various fence suppliers for refitting of these rollers.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Ÿ WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY MAY RESULT! BEFORE INSTALLING OPERATOR IMPORTANT: Operator should always be mounted inside the gate. Determine whether the installation is Left hand or Right hand by the direction the gate moves in order to open, when viewed from inside the fence.

Connect a second wire from the “MST CLO” terminal on the Master operators control board, to the “CLO” terminal on the slave operators control board. 5. Connect a third wire from any “COM” terminal on the Master operators control board, to any “COM” terminal on the Slave operators control board.
EMERGENCY CONTROL STATION OPTION Provision has been made to change the control station operational mode to one that would only be activated when the entrapment sensing system is in stop mode; with the warning horn activated. This would give a person access to control the gate in an emergency situation, but it would be inoperative under normal circumstances. To activate this option, move dipswitch #1 to the “ON” position.
TIMER TO CLOSE OPTION The operator is equipped with a timer to close option for use with OPEN ONLY control devices such as a radio control, or card key control. The AUTO RECLOSE TIMER adjustment screw is located on the printed circuit board. The operator is shipped from the factory with this timer preset to the off position; fully counter clockwise. As the timer adjustment screw is rotated clockwise, the closing of the gate can be delayed from 2 seconds to 60 seconds.
AUDIBLE PRE - MOVE WARNING By moving Dipswitch #4 to the “ON” position the option of a 3 second Audible Warning, before gate movement, may be selected.
AUXILIARY CIRCUIT FOR USE WITH GATE LOCKS, WARNING LIGHTS, ETC An auxiliary 24 VAC power circuit, for use with a 24V control relay, has been provided. This circuit will be activated just prior to gate movement and will continue to be active until the gate stops. It may be used to control a gate lock, activate warning lights and solenoid controlled devices or any other system required during this time interval. Two control options are available.
