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.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT SAFETY SAFETY INFORMATION INFORMATION WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued 6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate 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 turning pins and gate hinges using the recommended lubricant. • Clean and lubricate the lead screw using silicon grease. • Check that all mounting hardware of the gate operator is properly tighten. • Ensure that the gate moves freely.

PLAN PLAN OF OF INSTALLATION INSTALLATION -- OPEN OPEN INSIDE INSIDE The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
PLAN PLAN OF OF INSTALLATION INSTALLATION –– OPEN OPEN OUTSIDE OUTSIDE The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CAUTION - If Front Mounting Bar is not welded to a frame member that runs the full length of the gate, the gate operator may damage the gate. Do not weld the bar or backing plate to a few pickets. STEP 1 Cut the Front Mounting Bar (the offset bar) so that: The bolt center is 4-3/4” from the inside surface of the gate and 27” to 28” from the gate hinge. Note: It is recommended to use a frame member across the full width of the gate.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Step 3 Remove the Terminal Cover: a) Open the plastic flap and b) Remove the Thumbscrew. STEP 4 Mount the operator. Perform the Manual Release procedure as shown at the bottom of page 7. The gate can now be moved manually. Ensure that the gate and gate operator moves freely. Check Operation Through Entire Range of Movment Once it is determined the operator will work properly, remove the operator and complete the welding process.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Limit Switch Setup STEP 6 Pull Cover Forward and Remove Remove the lead screw cover: a) Remove the screw and b) Slide out the cover. Adjust the Limit Switches STEP 7 Note: Leave cover off until after the installation of the control box and the electrical installation. Verify that the operator opens and closes to the desired position under power. Make any adjustments as necessary.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Opening/Closing Setup: To have the gate operator slow down prior to reaching its limits use the following steps: 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.
CONTROL CONTROL BOX BOX INSTALLATION INSTALLATION WARNING - If the control box is not mounted properly it may fall, causing damage and/or injury. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) weight is approximately 40 lbs. Be sure that the substrate being mounted to and the fasteners being used are appropriate to support the weight of the control box. 1. Disconnect the Siren and Stop Button Leads from the Control Board. Remove the Control Board Mounting Plate. The plate is held in the box by four screws. 17" 2.
ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board until the installation is ready for verification. Power Harness The G-5 Gate Operator requires a single phase AC line to operate 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.

Notes
our continuous commitment to excellence Viking Access Systems is continuously working hard to identify and design products that will appeal to the industry and it’s needs. As technology continues to advance, we have developed a completely efficient and intelligent line of gate operators to meet the changing demands. These machines offer; full UL325 and UL991 compliance, soft-start and soft-stop, intelligent obstruction sensors, continuous operation (100% duty cycle) and extreme power efficiency.
VIKING standard features and operator specifications UL325 and UL991 Listed by Underwriter Laboratories (UL) • Accessible manual release via key operated mechanism • Fail-Safe option sets the gate to automatically transfer to a fail-safe mode in the event of a power failure, allowing the gate to be pushed open without the use of special knowledge of the equipment • FailSecure option sets the gate to mechanically lock in the event of a power failure, allowing no manual movement without the use of the manua
