Safety Installation Information
1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems
are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one
component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual
application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into
account the possible hazards associated with each individual
application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can
create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design
and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a
component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be
incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
lEdges Sensors (contact)
lPhotoelectric Sensors
lVertical Posts
lInstructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage
class of the gate.
b. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding
is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian
usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with
the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
6. 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.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions
prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. Permanently mounted access controls intended for users to activate,
must be located at least 6 feet (1.8m) 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. Outdoor or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized
use. Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by
authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in
the line-of-sight of the gate.
9. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in the
line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause
the operator to start.
10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed in the area
of the gate. Each placard is to be visible by persons located on the side
of the gate on which the placard is installed.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact
sensor for each type of application. See Install Entrapment
Protection section.
b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping,
such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving.
c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable
by a moving gate or barrier.
12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exists.
b. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring
arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
c. A wireless device such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions
shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not
obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping
or similar obstruction. A wireless device shall function under the
intended end-use conditions.
d. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and
outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom
edge of a swing gate is greater than 4 inches (10.1 cm) but less
than 16 inches (406 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc
of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the
bottom edge.

Step 2 Install the Operator
CHECK the national and local building codes before installation.
1. Install the electrical conduit.
2. Pour a concrete pad (reinforced concrete is recommended). The concrete pad should be 6 inches (15.2 cm) above the ground and deeper than the
frost line. Ensure the pad is tall enough to avoid possible flooding.
3. Secure the operator to the concrete pad with appropriate fasteners.
NOTE: An alternative to a concrete pad is to post mount the operator, see Accessories.
INSTALLATION

14
Step 3 Position Gate Bracket
NOTE: It may be necessary to attach horizontal reinforcement to the gate before attaching the gate bracket.
1. Position the operator arm onto the output shaft so that the pin slides into the slot.
2. Measure 46" (116.8 cm) along the gate length from the gate hinge center.
3. Measure 27.5" (69.9 cm) up from the concrete pad to the gate hinge position on the gate as shown.
4. Make sure the operator arm is level and tack weld the gate bracket in this position. Use the set screws on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place
while determining the correct measurements.
Step 4 Adjust the Operator Arm Length
NOTE: The length of the arm can be adjusted if necessary. If adjusting the
length, ensure that both sections of the arm are adjusted proportionally.
Use the set screws on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place while
determining the correct measurements.
1. Close the gate and measure the distance of the operator arm from the
gate bracket to the output shaft center. This distance is E.
2. Open the gate 90° (do not allow arms to scissor when open).
Measure both sections of the arm (D and C). The arm lengths are
correct as long as C+D=E (arm should be perpendicular to the gate
in the open position as shown).
INSTALLATION

15
Step 5 Secure the Operator Arm
Once the operator arm measurements are verified:
1. Weld the gate bracket to the gate.
2. Weld the short arm section.
3. Weld the long arm section.
4. Remove the set screws from the arm. NOTE: Completely weld around
the outer tubing and bracket.
5. Adjust the nuts on the operator arm so the operator arm fits snug on
the output shaft yet still allows enough room to swivel (the handle
must be in a 90° position).
6. Tighten the handle by pushing it down. Test to make sure the
operator arm does not slip on the output shaft.
INSTALLATION

16
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
lALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment
protection systems for each entrapment zone.
lEntrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone
who may come near a moving gate.
lLocate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and
close gate cycles.
lLocate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate
and RIGID objects, such as posts, walls, pillars, columns, or operator
itself.
Step 6 Install Entrapment Protection
Entrapment protection MUST be installed according to the following UL
325 requirements:
lSwing gate operators require the installation of the first external
monitored entrapment protection device to function.
lEvery installation is unique. It is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that ALL entrapment zones are protected with an external
monitored entrapment protection device, protecting both the open
and close gate cycles.
lLiftMaster monitored external entrapment protection devices MUST
be used with LiftMaster operators to meet UL325 requirements,
see Accessories.
lTest ALL entrapment protection devices after completing installation
of the operator. For testing instructions, refer to the manual provided
with your entrapment protection device.
Definitions
ENTRAPMENT: The condition when a person is caught or held in a
position that increases the risk of injury.
SWING GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE: Locations between a moving gate or
moving, exposed operator components and a counter opposing edge or
surface where entrapment is possible up to 1.8 m (6 ft) above grade. Such
locations occur if during any point in travel:
a. The gap between the bottom of a moving gate and the ground is
greater than 101.6 mm (4 in) and less than 406 mm (16 in); or
b. The distance between the center line of the pivot and the end of the
wall, pillar, or column to which it is mounted when in the open or
closed position exceeds 101.6 mm (4 in). Any other gap between a
moving gate and fixed counter opposing edges or surfaces or other
fixed objects is less than 406 mm (16 in) (examples are walls, curbs,
berms or other immovable objects).

There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the specific
entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed
photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.
Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
Control Board
CLOSES EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric
sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full
open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during
gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or
edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.
Expansion Board
EYE ONLY and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based
on the switch settings (located next to the terminals)
Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed
Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is
sensed
EYE/EDGE and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors or Edge Sensor, the
functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the
terminals)

Step 7 Earth Ground Rod
Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire
must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the
ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or
destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.
2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.
Step 8 Power Wiring
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
lANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power
switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared
and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
lDisconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a
separate fused line of adequate capacity.
lALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
lDO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without
consulting the wiring diagram.
lALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.
The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly
labeled.
lALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.
For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduits. An optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120
Vac (refer to Accessories).
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.
