The universal elbow on the swing arm lets you easily change the handing from a left-arm conguration
to a right swing arm conguration. The illustration present below show a right hand conguration.
For more detailed steps, refer to the SwingSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual.
attaCh Warning SignS
WARNING
Be sure to place the WARNING
signs on the gate. For your
records, take a photograph of the completed
installation site.
POSitiOn the
linkage armS
Use tapped holes and hex
bolts to hold linkage arms
in place (2x) while setting
the limit switches.
Mount bracket approximately 25 inches
(63cm) from base of operator.
Set screw
(used to prevent locking
of the elbow joint)
CAUTION
Use the supplied set screw to
prevent the arm from locking.
The intent of the offset is that, upon gate strike,
the elbow will bend and the taper clamp will slip,
minimizing damage to the gearbox and operator.
adjuSt the limit SWitCheS
Extend the taper handle and loosen the taper
clamp.
Manually swing the gate to full OPEN and
CLOSE positions.
Loosen the two Phillips-head screws.
Move the limit cams so they trip the
appropriate limit switch at the full OPEN
and CLOSE positions.
Retighten the two screws.

WARNING
It is critical that you install the
elbow joint covers to comply
with UL 325 Safety Standards. The elbow
joint is considered a pinch point and serious
injury may occur if the covers are not secured
properly to the gate arms.

Set the taPer ClamP
The taper clamp is designed to break free when a gate
strike occurs, but not slip during normal operations. Set
it properly, by taking the following steps:
Loosen the taper clamp so you can manually swing
the gate half way between the open and close
position (above a 45° angle).
Move the taper handle clockwise in ¼ turn increments
until the gate cannot be pushed manually.
Continue to incrementally turn the taper handle until
the clamp is set so that it only breaks free with a
strong push that simulates a gate strike.
NOTE: A large amount of torque is not required to
obtain a tight clamp setting. At highly secure facilities,
to reduce the chance of someone manually forcing
the gate open, remove the set screw from the elbow
joint and straighten the arm. Straightening the arm is
preferable to over-tightening the taper clamp.

DANGER
Turn OFF AC power at the source

accessing the wires in the SwingSmart junction box.
Make sure both the DC and AC power switches are
in the OFF position.
CAUTION
When connecting to 208/230VAC on
the AC power, the voltage selector
switch on the AC power board must be moved to the
230V position or damage to the operator will occur
and void the Limited Warranty.
WARNING
DO NOT connect the
115VAC service outlet to
208 or 230VAC power supply wires! To use
the 115VAC service outlet on a 208 or
230VAC installation, the electrician needs
to run an extra neutral wire to the operator
from the power source and wire the service
outlet per cover.
