BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. VERIFY THE GATE POST IS PLUM AND GATE LEAF SWINGS FREELY.
2. PERFORM ANY REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BEFORE CONTINUING.
3. VERIFY THE COMMERCIAL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE ISOLATED AND RATED FOR
THE SPECIFIC LOAD. VISUALLY ENSURE THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE IN THE “OFF”
POSITION AND MARK THE BREAKER USED.
4. IF ANY PRE-CONSTRUCTION WIRING HAS BEEN INSTALLED, VISUALLY INSPECT AND
CONFIRM PROPER SIZING AND COMPLIANCE TO CODE.
5. AUTOMATIC VEHICULAR GATES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC;
HOWEVER, THEY CAN CREATE HAZARDS TO UNSUSPECTING PEDESTRIANS AND
DOMESTIC ANIMALS. ANY GATE, CONSTRUCTED WITH REACHABLE PINCH POINTS, OR
HAS A SURFACE AREA THAT ALLOWS ARMS OR LEGS TO PASS THROUGH, IS A
POTENTIAL HAZARD. RECOMMEND AND PROVIDE SAFE GUARDS AGAINST THESE
HAZARDS.
6. REMOVE THE “END USER SAFETY ADVISORY HANDOUT” FROM THIS MANUAL. REQUEST
THE END USER REVIEW THE MATERIAL AND SIGN IT. COLLECT THE HANDOUT WHEN
THE JOB IS COMPLETE.
DURING INSTALLATION
1. LOCATE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE SO THE END USER
CAN OBSERVE, BUT NOT TOUCH, THE GATE WHILE OPERATING THE CONTROLS.
2. WHEN CONNECTING THE WIRING FROM THE COMMERCIAL POWER SOURCE TO THE
CONTROL PANEL, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROVIDED A PROPER EARTH GROUND. IF
USING A METAL ENCLOSURE, CONNECT THE GROUND TO THE ENCLOSURE BEFORE
CONNECTING TO THE GATE OPERATORS. NO GROUND IS TO CONNECTING TO THE GATE
OPERATORS. NO GROUND IS TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE MICROPROCESSOR
CONTROL.
3. OBSERVE ALL WIRING REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE AND/OR THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.
4. MOUNT HE LINEAR ACTUATOR AS CLOSE TO THE CENTER OF THE GATE LEAF AS
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL HELP BALANCE THE WHIPPING MOTION OF THE GATE WHEN THE
OPERATOR REACHES END OF THE PISTON STROKE.
5. ISOLATE THE LINEAR ACTUATOR WHEN WELDING TO PREVENT ANY CURRENT FROM
PASSING THROUGH THE OPERATOR AND DAMAGING THE MOTOR OR OTHER
COMPONENTS.

INSTALLATION COMPLETION
1. “REMOVE” ALL DEBRIS AND OBSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TRAVEL PATH OF THE
GATE LEAF(S).
2. TURN ON AND LABEL THE COMMERCIAL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER AND
REMOVE THE “USED” TAG YOU INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT.
3. USING THE MANUAL BYPASS, POSITION THE GATE LEAF AT 45 DEGREES. PRESS
THE TEST BUTTON ON THE CM2-T CONTROL BOARD. THE FIRST SIGNAL WILL
ALWAYS BE TO OPEN. IF THE OPERATOR RUNS TO THE CLOSED POSITION, TURN
OFF THE COMMERCIAL POWER AND REVERSE THE MOTOR CONNECTIONS ON
PINS 1 AND 3.
4. OPERATE THE ACTUATOR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL YOU CAN DETECT A RISE IN
THE FLUID TEMPERATURE. THIS CAN BE DONE BY PLACING YOUR HAND ON THE
TOP OF THE OPERATOR AT THE REAR.
5. PURGE AND ADJUST THE OPERATOR AS DESCRIBED IN THE PURGING AND
ADJUSTMENT SECTION.
6. INSTRUCT THE END USER HOW TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE GATE IN THE
EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE.
7. INSTRUCT THE END USER HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE THE GATE AUTOMATION
AND SAFETY FEATURES THEREOF.
8. COLLECT THE “SIGNED” END USER SAFETY HAND OUT. BY THEIR SIGNATURE,
THE END USER ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES OF OWNING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING A VEHICULAR
AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATING SYSTEM.

INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
! ADVISORIES!
A. THIS LINEAR ACTUATOR MUST ME MOUNTED SO THE PISTON FULLY EXTENDS AND
FULLY RETRACTS. WHEN FULLY RETRACTED THERE SHOULD BE INCH PISTON LEFT
OUT OF THE FRONT.
B. THIS LINEAR ACTUATOR HAS AN OFFSET BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR MOUNTING
BRACKET. THE FRONT BRACKET IS ABOUT 3/16+N OF AN INCH LOWER THAN THE REAR
BRACKET, REVIEW THE BRACKET ALIGNMENT DETAIL FOR THE OFFSET DIMENSION.
1. SCRIBE THE CENTERLINE OF THE GATE LEAF ONTO THE GATEPOST.
2. MEASURE FOR THE OFFSET DESCRIBED IN THE ADVISORY #B AND SCRIBE ANOTHER
LINE.
3. CUT THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIMENSIONS
SPECIFIED ON THE MOUNTING GEOMETRY DETAIL.
4. WELD THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE GATE POST.
5. DETERMINE THE “C” DIMENSION AND CUT THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE
PROPER LENGTH.
6. EXTEND THE PISTON TO FULLY EXTENDED POSITION. THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY
TEMPORARILY CONNECTING THE CONTROL PANEL TO THE OPERATOR AND USING THE
MOTOR TO EXTEND THE PISTON, PRODUCING 9 7/8” OF PISTON. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
WITH THE “600A” THAT THE PISTON “BOTTOMS OUT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS”.
7. SCREW THE “I” BOLT INTO THE END OF THE PISTON TO OF THE LENGTH OF THE
THREADS.
8. ATTACH THE OPERATOR TO THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET.
9. WITH THE GATE IN THE FULL CLOSED POSITION, LEVEL THE OPERATOR AND SCRIBE
THE LOCATION FOR THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET.
10. REMOVE THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET FROM THE FRONT OF THE GATE OPERATOR
AND WELD IT TO THE GATE LEAF AT THE SCRIBED LOCATION.
11. ATTACH THE OPERATOR TO THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET.
12. WITH THE OPERATOR IN MANUAL BYPASS, OIL FILLER CAP, SCREW ON, SWING THE
GATE OPEN AND CLOSED ABOUT 6 TIMES SLOWLY, TO PURGE THE AIR FROM THE
VALVE SYSTEM. SLOWLY OPEN THE FILLER CAP TO EXPEL ANY AIR IN THE OPERATOR.

13. ATTACH AN 18/4 STRANDED S.O. CORD APPROVED FOR OUTDOOR USE AS PER THE
STRAIN RELIEF ASSEMBLY TO THE OPERATOR PER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
DETAILS.
NOTE: IT IS HELPFUL TO INSTALL A SINGLE GANG WEATHER PROOF BELL BOX ON THE
GATE POST ACROSS FROM THE OPERATOR. THEN WIRE FROM THE CONTROL BOX CAN BE
PULLED TO THIS POINT AND CONNECTED TO THE S.O. CORD INSIDE THE BELL BOX.
PURGING THE OPERATOR
THIS IN NOT REQUIRED UNLESS THE OPERATOR RUNS ERRATIC
SOMETIMES DURING SHIPPING THE “500” SERIES OPERATOR GETS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
AND REQUIRES THE VALVE SYSTEM TO BE PURGED AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE
INSTALLATION. THIS CAN BE NOTICED IF THE OPERATOR IS JERKING OR RUNS UNEVEN.
WITH THE ALLEN WRENCH PROVIDED UNDER THE LOCKING CAP, TURN THE MANUAL
BYPASS VALVE COUNTER CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE OPERATOR RELEASES. SLOWLY SWING
THE OPERATOR FULLY OPEN AND CLOSED 6 TO 7 COMPLETE CYCLES. THEN, SLOWLY
REMOVE THE FILL CAP ON THE REAR FLANGE OF THE OPERATOR TO EXPEL THE AIR.
REPLACE THE FILL CAP.
TIGHTEN THE BYPASS VALVE WITH THE ALLEN WRENCH AND GIVE THE OPERATOR A
SIGNAL TO RUN. WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, OPEN AND CLOSE THE BYPASS VALVE
PAUSING BETWEEN OPEN AND CLOSE. DO THIS 10 TO 12 TIMES. THEN REMOVE THE FILL
CAP TO EXPEL ANY AIR IN THE OPERATOR. REPLACE THE OIL FILLER CAP SCREW AND
TIGHTEN ONLY SNUG.
ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR
THE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT SCREW IS FOUND UNDER THE LOCKING CAP ON THE TOP OF
THE OPERATOR. LOOKING FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT OF THE OPERATOR, THE LEFT
VALVE IS FOR RETRACTING PRESSURE AND THE RIGHT VALVE IS FOR EXTENDING
PRESSURE. CLOCKWISE INCREASES PRESSURE AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE DECREASES
PRESSURE. WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING DECREASE THE PRESSURES EQUALLY UNTIL THE
OPERATOR STOPS MOVING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. BEGIN INCREASING PRESSURE ON BOTH
VALVES WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. ADJUST THE PRESSURE TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO
PHYSICALLY STOP THE GATE. AT THIS POINT, EITHER INCREASE THE RETRACTING
PRESSURE OR DECREASE THE EXTENDING PRESSURE A TO OF A TURN. THE
RETRACTING PRESSURE MUST BE HIGHER.
HYDRAULIC FLUID

8
BYAN SYSTEMS OPERATORS US A “SHELL OIL PRODUCTS” TELLUS T-15, THIS FLUID HAS A
RELATIVELY LOW VISCOSITY SO IT WILL START TO FLOW QUICKLY ON COLD DAYS. WHEN
THE FLUID RISES TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THERE IS NO RUSH OF THIN FLUID
CAUSING POOR HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE, OR WORSE YET, EXCESSIVE PUMP WEAR,
FAILURE AND EXPENSIVE DOWNTIME.
TELLUS FLUIDS MINIMIZE THE EFFECT TEMPERATURE HAS ON VISCOSITY, AND RESISTS
THE SHEARING ACTION OF HIGH SPEED PUMPS BY MAINTAINING THEIR STABLE VISCOSITY
LONGER.
THERE IS A ZINC TYPE ADDITIVE IN THE FLUID TO HELP IMPEDE WEAR AND PREMATURE
REPLACEMENT. IT HELPS PREVENT CORROSION TO METALS AND IS DESIGNED TO BE
COMPATIBLE WITH HOSES, SEALS AND OTHER ELASTOMER PRODUCTS.
TELLUS T-15 READILY SEPARATES AIR AND WATER TO PREVENT FOAMING, KEEPING THE
FLUID FIT AND DIELECTRIC STRENGTH HIGH.
WHERE TO BUY SHELL TELLUS FLUIDS
AT YOUR NEAREST SHELL DISTRIBUTOR, BYAN SYSTEMS DISTRIBUTOR, OR AT BYAN
SYSTEMS WAREHOUSE.
FLUID AND YOUR OPERATOR
THE OPERATOR HOLDS APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF FLUID. THE PROPER LEVEL CAN BE
OBSERVED THROUGH THE OIL FILLER TUBE, LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE REAR FLANGE
OF THE OPERATOR, WITH THE PISTON IN THE RETRACTION POSITION, THE FLUID SHOULD
BE VISIBLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TUBE, LEVEL WITH THE CURVED SECTION OF THE
TUBE. THE 500 SERIES OPERATOR HAS A PRESSURED CHAMBER SO DO NOT OVERFILL. THE
PUMP WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO DRAW FLUID AND WILL FAIL TO RUN IN ONE
DIRECTION OR THE OTHER.
MANUAL BYPASS
THE MANUAL BYPASS VALVE IS FOR THE ABILITY TO RELEASE THE OPERATOR IN THE
EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION. IT IS LOCATED UNDER THE KEYED CAP
ON TOP OF THE OPERATOR. A METRIC ALLEN WRENCH IS SUPPLIED IN THE CAP TO
RELEASE THE BYPASS VALVE. TURN THE VALVE COUNTER CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE
OPERATOR RELEASES. WHEN TIGHTENING THE BYPASS VALVE IT MUST BE TIGHT IN
ORDER TO PREVENT FLUID OR PRESSURE ESCAPING BACK INTO THE CHAMBER.
