IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued 5. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving AND AWAY FROM THE GATE PATH PERIMETER, 6. Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. MAINTENANCE Remove the Power Harness from the Control Board (refer to page 17) • Clean and lubricate the gate track wheels using the recommended lubricant. • Inspect the track for any signs of cracking or separation. • Check that all mounting hardware of the gate operator is properly tighten. • Ensure that the gate moves freely.
TERMINOLOGY TERMINOLOGY UL325 Gate Operator Classification GLOSSARY RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR CLASS I – A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to four single family dwelling, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. Photo Beam (non-contact sensor) Installation Photo beams or like must be installed to reduce the risk of entrapment. Use only UL325 compliance devices like: Omron E3K-R10 Ensure that any device installed is UL325 compliant and low voltage device (24 VDC).

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. Audible Alarm Reset Switch Installation Reset for the Audible Alarm UL325 standard requires an audible alarm to go off after two consecutive events detected by the primary entrapment protection of the gate operator (obstruction sensor). The audible alarm will continue to sound for 5 minutes or until a stop command gets actuated.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INFORMATION INFORMATION CAUTION - FOR USE WITH GATES OF A MAXIMUM OF 40 FT IN LENGTH AND 1000 LBS. IN WEIGHT. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS: Do not allow pedestrian use of this gate! Do NOT Install the gate operator to lift gates 40'-0" 40’ maximum gate length OPEN STOP CLOSE Locate Control Buttons: 1. Within sight of the gate, 1000 lb. MAX. 1000 pounds maximum gate weight 2.
PLANS PLANS OF OF INSTALLATION INSTALLATION All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/2 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Note: Before starting the installation procedure; • Open and close the gate manually, making sure there is sufficient space between the gate and adjacent walls. • Check that the wheels are turning freely on the track and there are no restrictions while pushing the gate to the open and closed positions. • Confirm that there is adequate spacing for the guide rollers and that there are no restrictions throughout the travel of the gate.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Step 3 Chain Installation: Before welding the provided chain brackets, make sure the chain will be in a straight line with, and at the same height as, the chain leaving the gate operator rollers.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Limit Switch Setup STEP 4 Lower Limit Switch Upper Cam Lower Cam Remove the operator cover. STEP 5 A. Loosen the screws on the limit switch cams. B. Move the gate manually to the right position (either fully open or fully closed, depending on installation configuration). C. Rotate the lower cam counter-clockwise until it just actuates the lower limit switch (until the switch ‘clicks’). D. Tighten the screw on the lower limit switch cam. E.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Opening/Closing Setup 1. Setup the limit switches manually at the desired open and close position. 2. Allow the gate operator to run a full open and close cycle (from limit to limit) without interruption. Note: During the first full open and close cycle: The gate operator doesn’t slow down prior to reaching its limits. During subsequent cycles: The gate operator will slow down prior to reaching its limits. 3.

ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board until the installation is ready for verification. The Gate Operator requires a single phase AC line to operate the gate and charge the batteries. 1. Turn off the main switch or breaker for the power line being used. 2. Move the selector switch on the Incoming Voltage Selector to the proper position (115 for 110 to 120VAC, 230 for 200 to 240VAC). 3.
ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Power Connections OPEN LEFT OPEN RIGHT Connect the wire harness to the “OPEN RIGHT” connector if the gate opens inside. Connect the wire harness to the “OPEN LEFT” connector if the gate opens outside.

VEHICULAR VEHICULAR LOOP LOOP DETECTOR DETECTOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION WARNING – Consult the installation instructions from the loop detector manufacturer. The following statements are provided as a guide but different requirements may be required by the vehicular loop detector manufacturer. Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation 1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor. 2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter.
ACCESSORY ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS Safety Connections 1 Safety Loop Detector Photo Beam Edge Sensor 1 Connection Locations Strike Gnd Exit Safety Connector The SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION like the edge sensor and the photoelectric beam MUST BE PART OF EVERY SINGLE INSTALLATION to prevent pedestrian or animal entrapment (see pages 6 and 7).
ACCESSORY ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS Radio Receiver When connecting the Radio Receiver carefully verify the proper connections. The maximum voltage that the control board provides for external accessories is the maximum voltage of the battery, which is about 28 volts. In the event of an electrical short the board will protect itself by shutting down and will remain shut down until the short is corrected.
ACCESSORY ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS Magnetic Lock 1 External supply for the magnetic lock must be provided.

Turning the Trim Pot counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity. The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions in the path of the traveling gate.
SPECIAL SPECIAL FEATURES FEATURES Fail Safe/Fail Secure Operation 2 The gate operator contains a unique design that allows the user to move the gate manually in case of power failure. 1 There are three levels of force required to move the gate manually. EN LEFT Connection Locations Fail Safe: By removing the wire-jumper plug from the “Fail Safe/Secure” connector: The gate can be move manually with relative low amount of force.

TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Gate does not run – Motor Sensor indicator comes ON Check all motor connections to be fully engaged. Refer to page 18 and 19. Ensure that the motor connections are: a) Properly connected, b) Thigh enough and c) Color coded Refer to page 15. Check that all motor cable connections, junctions and extensions are properly connected and color-coded. Refer to page 15.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Gate does not open or close Check all motor connections to be fully engaged. Refer to page 15. Check that limit switches are connected to the common and the normally close position refer to page 15. Check that the stop command is not active. Refer to page 8 and 24. Check that the UL command (photo beam and/or edge sensor) is not active. Refer to page 6, 7 and 22. Check that the vehicular loop detectors are working properly. Refer to page 20, 21 and 22.
DISTINCTIVE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES FEATURES UL325 and UL991 Listed by Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Accessible Manual Release • Manual release switch is easily accessible. Fail-Safe Option • User can select the option such as in the event of a power failure, the gate is automatically transferred to a fail-safe mode, allowing the gate to be pushed open without the use of special knowledge of the equipment.
