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. C: 23-1/2" Outside Gate in Closed Position Note: When application dictates dimension (A) to be between 12”-18”, both the Primary and Secondary arms may be extended EQUALLY, up to 6” each.
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. Outside Gate in Open Position 90° C: 19-1/2" Gate in Closed Position A: 11-3/4" Max. G: 4.33" Ref. H: 2.55" Ref.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CAUTION - If 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 14.173" 5.90" Check the integrity of the gate structure and sufficiently sturdy such as pivot points are properly lubricated and surfaces are free of rust. 5.90" 1.181" 3.937" a) Remove the Motor/Gear Assembly from its package.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION STEP 4 Remount the geared motor on the chassis accordingly. STEP 5 Attach the Articulated Arms with the Positive Stop Extension to the Pivot Bracket and the Motor/Gear Assembly. NOTE - Additional holes are provided in the Pivot Bracket to assist with proper installation STEP 6 With the cover off, 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 move freely.
GATE GATE OPERATOR OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Limit Switch Setup STEP 8 Additional Cam Mounting Holes A. Loosen the screws on the limit switch cams and position the cams to the desired locations. There are additional holes provided in case of a wide or tight angle of opening or closing. B. Move the gate manually and ensure that the limit switch gets actuated at the desired open and closed position. The limit switch will click when engaged by the limit cam. C.
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 control box 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. Remove the control board mounting plate. The plate is held in the box by four screws. 17" 2. Position the control box in the desired place and mark the mounting holes.
ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board until the installation is ready for verification. Power Harness The X-9 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.
