Important Notice
Vehicular gate operator products provide convenience and
security. However, gate operators must use high levels of
force to move gates and most people underestimate the
power of these systems and do not realize the potential
hazards associated with an incorrectly designed or installed
system. These hazards may include:
 Pinch points
 Entrapment areas
 Reach through hazards
 Absence of entrapment protection devices
 Improperly located access controls
 Absence of vehicle protection devices
 Absence of controlled pedestrian access
In addition to these potential hazards, automated vehicular
gate systems must be installed in accordance with the UL-325
Safety Standard and the ASTM F2200 Construction Standard.
Most people are unaware of, or are not familiar with, these
standards. If an automated vehicular gate system is not
properly designed, installed, used and maintained, serious
injuries or death can result.
Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper
operation of the gate and gate operator system. Be sure
that the installer has trained you about the basic functions
of the required reversing systems associated with your
gate operating system and how to test them. These include
reversing loops, inherent reversing system, electric edges,
photoelectric cells, or other external devices.
This Owner’s Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place
for future reference.
 Be sure that all access control devices are
installed a minimum distance of 10 feet away
from the gate and gate operator, or in such a
way that a person cannot touch the gate or
gate operator while using the device. If access
control devices are installed in violation of
these restrictions, immediately remove the
gate operator from service and contact your
installing dealer.
 Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other
equivalent devices must be installed to prevent
the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.
 The speed limit for vehicular traffic through the
gate area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and
signs to keep vehicular traffic from speeding
through the gate area. Failure to adhere to
posted speed limits can result in damage to the
gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.
 Be sure that all persons who use the gate
system are familiar with the proper use of the
gate and gate operator and are familiar with
the possible hazards associated with the gate
system.
 Be sure that warning signs are permanently
installed on both sides of the gate in an area
where they are fully visible to traffic.
 It is your responsibility to periodically check all
entrapment protection devices. If any of these
devices are observed to function improperly,
remove the operator from service immediately
and contact your installing or servicing dealer.
 Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule. Do not allow children to play in the
area of the operator or to play with any gate-
operating device
 To remove the gate operator from service,
operate the gate to the full open position and
then shut off power to the operator at the
service panel.
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death read and
follow all instructions:
1. Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control away from
children.
2. Always keep people and objects away from
gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF
THE MOVING GATE.
3. Test the operator monthly. The gate MUST
reverse on contact (contact sensors must be
installed) with a rigid object or stop or reverse
when an object activates the non-contact
sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of
travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to
adjust and retest the gate operator properly
can increase the risk of injury or death.
4. Use the emergency release only when the gate
is not moving.
5. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read
the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to gate hardware.
6. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians
must use separate entrance.
7. Save these Instruction for future reference

Gate Construction
Instructions for Intended Installation
Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in
accordance with ASTM F2200; Standard Specification
for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy
of this standard, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585;
[email protected]; or www.astm.org.
Controls intended for user activation must be located
at least ten feet (10’) 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 should
have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the
line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control
shall not cause the operator to start.
A minimum of two (2)WARNING SIGNS shall be installed,
one on each side of the gate where easily visible.
For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:
1. See the instructions on the placement
of non-contact sensors for each type
of application.
2. 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
in the opening direction.
3. One or more non-contact sensors shall
be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exist, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:
1. One or more contact sensors shall be
located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exist, such as at the leading
edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both
inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal
slide gate.
2. One or more contact sensors shall be
located at the bottom edge of a vehicular
vertical lift gate.
3. One or more contact sensors shall
be located at the pinch point of a
vehicular vertical pivot gate.
4. A hardwired contact sensor shall be
located and its wiring arranged so that the
communication between the sensor and the
gate operator is not subjected to mechanical
damage.
5. A wireless contact sensor 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 obstructions. A
wireless contact sensor shall function under
the intended end-use conditions.
6. One or more contact sensors shall be located
at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
Install the gate operator only if:
1. The operator is appropriate for the construction
of the gate and the usage class of the gate.
2. 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 ¼ 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.
3. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or
guarded.
4. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
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.
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 should not open into public
access areas.
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both
directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
Do not over-tighten the operator clutch, pressure relief
valve or reduce reversing sensitivity to compensate for a
damaged gate.
For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:
1. The gate operator controls must be placed so
that the user has full view of the gate area when
the gate is moving.
2. A warning placard shall be placed adjacent to
the controls.
3. An automatic closing device (such as a timer,
loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be used.
4. No other activation device shall be connected.

3electrical installation / entrapment protection wiring
The swing gate operator uses
an inherent entrapment sensing
system (Type A) and comes
equipped ready to connect a secondary
entrapment protection device. Entrapment
protection devices are required to reduce
the risk of injury. Install sensors where the
risk of entrapment or obstruction exists
while gate/barrier is moving.
UL INPUTS
1 PHOTO OPEN
If the open photo-beam is activated during the opening cycle, the
gate will stop. The gate will remain stopped until the photo-beam
input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the open cycle.
2 PHOTO CLOSE
If the close photo-beam input is activated during the closing cycle,
the gate will stop. The gate will remain stopped until the photo-
beam input is cleared, at which time the gate will resume the close
cycle.

1Disconnect power to the gate
operator before installing the
loop detector wiring.
To protect the gated area from accidentally closing on vehicles a
series of Loop Detectors must be installed. Loops are laid underneath,
cut into asphalt or concrete driveways or buried beneath gravel and
earth driveways. A Loop Detection system will sense a vehicle like a
metal detector and send a signal to the gate operator preventing the gate from
automatically closing on a vehicle when exiting.
 EXIT LOOP
An exiting vehicle will activate the Exit Loop and automatically open the gate
when exiting the property without having to use a transmitter or keypad.
The Exit Loop can be placed 20-100 feet before the gate so that the gate is
open or partially open as you drive up to it.
REVERSE LOOP
Will stop or reverse the close cycle of an automatic gate preventing the gate
from closing while a vehicle is exiting or stopped in the gate area.
Refer to the separate Loop and Loop Detectors Information Manual (Loop
Info G-3-02) when installing loops.

electrical installation / shadow loop detector wiring
3
2Route and connect the
SHADOW LOOP DETECTOR
cable as shown.
1Disconnect power to the gate
operator before installing the
loop detector wiring.
A Shadow Loop is placed inside the swing gate area to prevent the gate from
closing on a vehicle that is in the path of the gate after the open time has
expired or the Exit Loop is too far back from the Reverse Loop. The Shadow
Loop is only active when the gate is in the full open position and will not allow the swing
gate to close. Once the close cycle begins the Shadow loop will not reverse the gate.
For correct SHADOW LOOP operation, jumper wire must be placed from terminal
9 to terminal 10. SW1 switch 5 must be OFF, SW2 switch 1 must be ON and SW2
switch 2 must be OFF.
 Output of Shadow Loop Detector may be connected directly to terminals 8 and 9
(dotted line - no jumper required between 9 and 10) if SW 1, switch 5 is ON. However,
with this switch ON, terminal 8 becomes a shadow input (active only when the gate is
FULL OPEN) and all reversing devices connected to terminal 8 will operate as shadow
devices. If this is not desirable, wire the shadow loop detector as instructed above.
 Refer to the separate Loop and Loop Detectors Information Manual (Loop Info G-3-02)
when installing loops.

Function Switches
The switch settings and adjustments in this section should be made after the
installation and wiring to the operator(s) is complete (see illustration).
The two DIP-switches on the circuit board are used to program the actuators to
operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Check
ALL switch settings before applying power to the control panel (refer to switch
settings).
 Whenever any programming or switch setting on the circuit board is changed, batteries
must be disconnected and main power must be shut-off. Once completed turn main
power on and re-connect the batteries. The new programming and settings will not take
effect unless this procedure is followed.

SW1 Switch 1: Sets direction of the Primary actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the actuator begins
to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
SW1 Switch 2: Sets direction of the Secondary actuator so that it cycles open upon initial power up and open command. If the actuator begins
to cycle close upon initial power up and open command, turn power off and change the setting on this switch.
SW1 Switch 3: Determines if the output of the loop detector (DoorKing loop detectors only) plugged into the EXIT port will be sent directly to
the microprocessor to open the gate, or if the output is directed to terminal 4 where it can then be connected to other input
terminals.
SW1 Switch 4: Turns the auto close timer on or off. Maximum time that the close timer can be set for is 23 seconds.
SW1 Switch 5: Sets the input to terminal 8 to act as a standard reverse input (OFF) or to act as a shadow input (ON). If shadow setting is
used, input to terminal 8 will only hold the gate in the full open position. Once the gate begins to close, the input will not reverse
the gate.
SW1 Switch 6: Turns the overlap feature on or off. When turned ON, the Secondary actuator begins its cycle 1-2 seconds prior to the Primary
actuator, allowing the Primary gate to reach its full closed position 1-2 seconds before the Secondary gate. This feature is
useful when a magnetic lock is used to secure the gates.
SW1 Switch 7: Sets up the circuit board for single or dual (Primary / Secondary) gate operation.
SW1 Switch 8: Spare switch. Leave in the OFF position.
SW2 Switches 1-2: Work in conjunction with each other and determine when the relay on the board will be activated. This relay can be used as a
switch for various functions such as illuminating a warning light when the gate is moving, or turning on a green light when the
gate is full open. This relay is not available for these uses if it is being used for the shadow loop function.
Switches 3-4: Spare switches. Leave these in the OFF position.
