Installation Set Up
Installation of all equipment should be performed by trained personnel, skilled in the type of work
involved. All installations should be inspected by appropriate authorities, or a factory trained
representative, before the system is put into operation.
Note: Do not remove the plastic bag from the piece of equipment until the unit is placed in the
correct location according to the information tag attached to the top of the plastic bag. Refer to your
layout drawings for correct equipment placement
1) Remove packaging carefully so as not to damage the paint finish
2) Unlock & Remove the door
3) Carefully place the gate in the correct position and mark 4 mounting holes on the concrete
4) Carefully remove the gate and drill holes suitable for 3/8” x 4” lag bolts.
5) Place the gate back in position and install bolts and flat washers, lubricate bolts with grease
when installing
6) Attach wiring to correct terminals according to field connection drawings supplied. Wiring
and connector terminals and techniques used must be done according to standard electrical
codes or statues. Particular attention must be paid to proper grounding. Low voltage circuits
are class 1 and should be installed accordingly.
7) Connect each gate to a dedicated 15 AMP, 120Vac circuit breaker. Ensure the complete
electrical installation is done according to all local Codes / Regulations.
8) The Gate shall be Powered and Protected through an Approved Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter ( GFCI ) at the time of Installation
9) Door lock keys are attached to the outside of the flange
10) Limit cam adjustment may be necessary to level the barrier arm in the field. Loosen the wing
nut that keeps the cam in place and move the cam forward or backwards slightly to level the
arm properly. Fully re-tighten the cams with the wing nuts when finished.
11) For the vertical up position of the barrier arm, do not adjust with the UP limit cam. Loosen
the 2 nuts found on the connecting rod which has one left hand and one right hand eye bolt
at the top and the bottom of the rod. At the center of the Rod is a flat point. Use a ½” open
end wrench to turn the connecting rod either left or right until the vertical position of the
arm is correct. Fully tighten the 2 nuts, each one against an eye bolt.
12) For barrier arms longer than 14ft, the internal counter balance spring may require a slight
adjustment in order to balance the arm for a smooth open, close operation of the arm. This
only applies to newly installed gates
13) The gear reducer has a pin in the breather plug that is there for transport only so that oil
does not leak out. This pin must be removed when the gate is to go into operation.

14) The GPS1195 when sold with a round aluminum arm, you will find an aluminum spacer
attached to the outside of the main shaft. After removing the hardware attached, re-attach the
spacer lining up the 3 holes with the main shaft holes by using a piece of tape to keep the
spacer in place. Then slide the aluminum arm over the main shaft and connect the 3 bolts
supplied through the arm into the spacer and then the main shaft. Never mount the spacer on
the outside of the arm as you will damage the paint finish and the arm will become loose over a
short time frame.
15) If there are any additional items to add to the barrier arm, please check with the
Manufacturer on the proper mounting location in order for the barrier gate to smoothly lift the
arm up & down.
16) To Avoid Entrapment: When the Barrier arm is in the closed position, there shall be a
minimum 2ft clearance (610MM) from any Rigid Object

Loop Installation
1) Loop geometry will depend on the particular requirements of the installation. Generally for
most parking control applications can be satisfied using a standard 2 ½’ x 6’ PVC or a saw cut
loop.
2) If a single loop is used with a long lead in cable (500ft or more), it is recommended to add an
additional turn in the loop. This will increase the ratio of the loop inductance to the total
inductance, thereby improving loop sensitivity and overall system stability.
3) When selecting loop geometry for a specific application always design the loop network with an
inductance range of 100 to 250 microhenries.
4) All connections associated with the loop circuit (loop and loop leads) should be either soldered
or crimped with a tool that will ensure a good and tight connection. Do not use wire nuts.
5) The loop leads and loop turns should be a continuous length of wire with no splices. The loop
should be twisted approximately three turns per foot back to the detector. If long lead in
distances makes this impractical, a pull box should be located at the side of the street in which
loop leads should be spliced to a twisted shielded (Belden 8719, 8720 or equivalent type) and
the pull box sealed against moisture. The shield of the cable should be connected to earth
ground at the detector only. If splices are necessary, connect as in 4 above and waterproof
6) All steel beams, Iron drains, Water pipes, etc. should be at least 12 inches away from detector
loop area (including loop leads). Loop wires must be installed a minimum of four inches above,
never below metallic objects (e.g. Reinforcing bars). Metallic objects running at right angles to
the loop wires have a less effect when running parallel to loop wires. All power and control
wires must be a minimum of 24 inches from the detector loop. Only the loop wires are to be run
in the conduit. All other wires are to be run in a separate conduit(s). Never install loops within
ten feet of underground de-icing systems.
7) Install loop leads in PVC type conduit only.
8) The loop on one side of a slide / swing gate or door and connected to its own detector must be
set back from the gate or door a minimum distance equal to 25% of the length of the side of the
loop facing the gate or door or 3ft, whichever is greater. This will prevent the detection of a
moving gate or door.
9) It is not recommended to install loops in gravel or under paving stones. Do not install loops in
areas that cross expansion joints. Road surfaces must be stable, in good repair (no cracks, holes,
etc.) and constructed with proper base support and drainage.
10) PVC loops should be installed two to three inches and not more than five inches below the
surface.
Page 7A

GPS1195 Auto Gate Manual Version 3
11) Use a four inch base for the loop. Once the base has been laid, secure in place using a wooden
stake wedged into each corner of the loop. Height of the wooden stakes above four inch base
not to exceed top inch thickness of top coat.
12) Use ½” PVC conduit for the loop leads. Seal all conduit connections. Please not that the PVC
conduit for the loop leads is not supplied with the PVC loop.
Saw Cut Loop Installation Guide
1) Saw cut a 5/16” wide, 1 ½” deep in rectangular shape to specified dimensions plus slot for the
loop lead conduit.
2) Ensure there are no sharp corners. Clear slot of all loose material. Slot must be completely dry
and clean.
3) Corners of the loop should be cut at a 45 degree angle to eliminate sharp edges.
4) Loop wire should be 16 AWG stranded wire with insulation rated for direct burial. Polyvinyl
chloride insulation should not be used. Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) or Teflon are
recommended. No splices are to be made in the wire slots.
5) Ensure the wires are not loose in the slot, as this will cause future loop failure. Do not use sharp
tools or objects to push wires in the slot.
6) Use a sealant that matches the application and type of pavement. Hard setting epoxies should
not be used with asphalt. Some hot sealants may damage the loop wire insulation.
7) Where the loop wires leave the lead in slot, they should be twisted three turns per foot. Limit
loop leads to 100ft.
8) After the insulation is complete, the loop should be checked with a megger to insure the
integrity of the insulation. The resistance should be greater than ten megohms at 500 volts
between the loop and the earth ground.
Important Notes:
Additional conduits and / or wiring may be required in the actual installation.
Loop size and placement are shown when using a gate with a 10ft gate arm and standard
passenger vehicles.
For wider lanes loop width must be increased to cover 80% of the width of the lane.
For other typical, special equipment layouts, or application for other types of vehicles please

Spring Adjustment, Balancing the Arm
The GPS1195 Auto Gate starting with 12ft round aluminum arms are spring balanced. There is a choice
of 2 spring sizes depending on the length of barrier arm.
12FT to 15FT round aluminum arm requires the GPS 5.5 spring
16FT to 23ft round aluminum arm requires the GPS 6+4 spring
Depending on the length of the arm, when adding light packages, Stop signs, or stabilizer arms a
combination of a 6+4 and a 5.5 spring may be required to ensure a smooth open and close operation of
the barrier arm.
1) To balance the arm, bring the gate arm to the up position using the Auto / Manual switch
located on the side of the PLC board nearest the door opening. Set the switch to manual
2) Turn the power switch off located to the lower right side of the barrier gate before making any
adjustments
3) Use a 1” open end wrench to hold the turnbuckle, loosen the 24mm nut at the top of the
turnbuckle and then loosen the ¾” nut at the bottom of the turnbuckle, The ¾” nut is left hand
4) Loosen the 24mm nut that secures the top of the connecting rod to the main shaft arm, release
it while holding the aluminum arm, as the arm is now free.
5) With assistance bring the gate arm down to about a 45 Degree angle and hold it there
6) Turning the turnbuckle counter clockwise raises the arm. Clockwise lowers the arm
7) Clamp a vise grip to the welded nut at the bottom of the anchoring rod. Turn the turnbuckle
counter clockwise until the arm reaches 45 Degrees. Secure the 24mm nut at the top of the
turnbuckle and the ¾” nut at the bottom of the turnbuckle.
8) While the spring is holding the arm at 45 Degrees, rotate the motor manually using the v belt
until the connecting rod bolt is in line with the hole in the main shaft arm. Fasten the 24mm nut
on the connecting rod to the main shaft arm and your adjustment is complete.
9) Make sure that all hardware is now in place and all tools are removed before turning the power
switch on.

Power Failure
WARNING: Turn the on / off power disconnect switch to the off position. If the power returns while you
are turning the pulley, the gate may start automatically if it is left in the on position and could cause
injury.
1) Rotate the motor manually using the belt until the up limit cam makes contact with the limit
switch
2) Leave the on / off switch in the off position
3) When the power is restored and the lane is free of all obstructions turn the power switch to the
on position to continue normal operation
Page 12

GPS1195 Auto Gate Manual Version 3
Leveling the Arm
1) Bring the gate to the down position using the Auto / Manual switch located on the right side of
the PLC controller board nearest the door opening, placing the switch in Auto
2) To adjust the level of the arm for the close position, loosen the wing nut on the down limit cam,
adjust forward or backwards, cycle the gate once up and then down. If the position of the gate
arm is straight across the lane when closed, retighten the down limit cam as much as possible,
so that no adjustment may be necessary in the future.
3) To adjust the level of the arm for the open position, loosen the wing nut on the open cam,
adjust forwards or backwards, cycle the gate once up, if the opening is correct, retighten the
down limit cam as much as possible, so that no adjustment may be necessary in the future.
