Pre-installation Information
Before You Begin...
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If
you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential
claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your
accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your
convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only
30 days from the date of shipment.
Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to
ensure all requirements for proper installation are present. Verify
that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.
If you have any questions about the requirements for proper
installation of this gate operator contact technical support at
800-421-1587
Always Check the Gate’s Action
It’s very important before installing the gate operator to
make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout
the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to
operate properly, it may affect the operator performance
or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should
also be designed so that airflow is ample to prevent
wind resistance and drag.
Gate Operator Classifications
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different
classifications, depending on their design and usage. Install
this gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for
the construction and usage class as defined below:
• Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home or for one to
four single family dwellings with a common garage or parking area
associated with these dwellings.
• Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial location or
building such as a multi-family housing unit of five or more single family
units, hotel, retail store or other building servicing the general public.
• Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as a factory or loading dock area or other location not
intended to service the general public.
• Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a guarded industrial
location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted
access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized
access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY
STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed with the
packet of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable,
or you do not have the safety instructions, please call Linear at
1-800-421-1587 to request additional copies.
3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST
BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the
operator so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.
5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A
minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each
side of the gate where easily visible.
6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the
gate.
7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the
side of the gate operator.
8. Do not adjust the operator controller’s current sensing feature too
high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely
triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to
operate. DO NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!
9. You must install all required safety equipment.
10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric
controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.
11. 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 into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path
of travel of the vehicular gate.

Wiring Specifications
Refer to the following steps for details on power and
accessory wiring for the operator.
AC Power Wiring
1. Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and
horsepower rating of your operator.
2. The distance shown in the table is measured in feet from the
operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115 V
and 230 V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under
the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your
application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the
maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.
3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied)
may be needed for the operator power connection.
4. Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code,
Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor
inrush, brake solenoids, and operator requirements.
5. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground
wire must be properly connected.
6. Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.
7. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC models for convenience
with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If
you choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will
decrease the distance for maximum length and the charts will no
longer be accurate.
DC Control and Accessory Wiring
1. All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000
feet with 14 AWG wire.
2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring.
Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in
some accessories.
3. A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two
operators together for dual operation. You must use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982,
per foot). See Page 23 for details of this connection. Note: The shield
wire should be connected in both the operators.
WARNING
ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND
THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL
CODES.

concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and
prevents it from twisting during operation.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)
which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.
Mounting Pad Specifications
Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum.
Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at
least as deep as frost line.
If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or
twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required.
Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this
problem as shown.
5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets
following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete
sets.
✓NOTE: Maximum gate opening angle is approximately 95 degrees,
depending on gate width. If larger opening angle is required,
non-standard positioning of the operator and modified articulating
arms may be required. Contact the factory for technical information,
pricing, and availability.

WARNING
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 into contact with the vehicular gate during the
entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
WARNING
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.
Swing gates shall not open into public areas.

Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid
plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.
For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with
the vent plug provided (see Figure 2).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).
Gate Arm Installation
The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm
supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.
After the proper length of the crank extension and link
section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded
to complete the assembly.
Setting Left or Right Hand Configuration
The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the
factory in right-hand configuration (the back of the overtravel
stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed
and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the
upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the
arm into a left-hand orientation.
Gate Plate Installation
The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended
height (24-7/8” above the top of the operator pad). The gate
plate supplied with the arm assembly can be welded to the
gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been provided for
securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.

Gate Arm Installation (Cont.)
Choosing Good Harmonics
Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear
on the operator.The gate will have smoother starts and stops
when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5
shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.
Installing the Gate Arm on the Operator
The hex cap screws (see Figure 6) in the side of the crank
assembly are shipped loose for placement on the operator
drive shaft. Once in place, tighten these cap screws in place
by applying 75 ft-lbs of torque. If it becomes necessary to
remove the crank, you can do so by loosening these bolts.
The arm can also be disconnected for manual operation of
the gate by removing the disconnect pin.
Setting the Arm Lengths
Most installations will use the standard dimensions specified.
The dimensions shown in Figure 7 can be used to adjust and
set the arm. If non-standard mounting is required, contact
the factory for information.
Once the arm lengths have been determined, use clamps
to temporarily attach the solid bars to their sections of
rectangular tubing. If clamps are unavailable, you may also
tack weld the parts in place. It is recommended that you
check the arm for proper action and full gate travel
before fully welding the parts together. REMOVE THE
GATE ARM BEFORE WELDING! Apply Krylon®metallic
gold spray paint or equivalent to touch up welds when
finished.

SWR •SWC •SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 6 - 227965 Revision X22 8-11-2011
Operator Setup
Controller Access
The Controller in models SWR, SWC and SWD is hinged for
access and can be removed without taking off the operator’s
cover. It swings down for installation, programming,
and troubleshooting access (see Figure 8). Under most
circumstances you will not need to remove the Controller.
To access the Controller, lift the metal tab below the AC
power switch and swing the Controller down. The Controller
is protected by a plastic dust cover. To remove the dust
cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off.
To remove the Controller from the operator, slide the
assembly to the right until the hinges release. Once freed,
you can turn the Controller slightly and remove it from the
operator. Be careful not to pull on the cables too hard.
AC Power Connection
All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power
disconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to
the operator (see Figure 9). Following wiring specifications
on Page 2, incoming power should be brought into the
operator and connected to the labeled pigtails from the
disconnect box. A wiring connections print can be found on
the label inside the cover of the operator.
✓NOTE: FOR SOLAR POWERED UNITS ONLY: The
APeX Controller’s AC power disconnect switch does not
turn off the Apex DC power when connected to solar
panels. It will however, disconnect DC motor power.
Unplug the solar panel input on the front of the Apex
Controller prior to servicing the unit.
Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The
motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from
overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency
operation. This overload protector will reset automatically
after the motor cools down.
Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame
in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground is
necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and lightning
protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical bolting
of the operator to the mounting pad is not sufficient for
a good earth ground.
✓NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid
copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.
1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting
pad within three feet of the operator.
2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the
ground rod.
3. Route the ground wire to the operator.
4. Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.

Operator Setup (Continued)
Limit Cam Rough Adjustment
The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must
be adjusted for each installation. The limit switches are
activated by two rotating limit cams attached to the drive
shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right
hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom
cam is for CLOSE. The cams flip their definition in left hand
installations (see left-right hand programming on Page 12).
1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position,
the power disconnect switch turned OFF, and the torque limiter
set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate by hand to
its fully open position.
2. Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so
that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).
3. Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE
limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).
Torque Limiter Adjustment
✓NOTE: The open and close current sensing may need to be
adjusted before performing the following two steps. See Page 13.
This operator may be supplied with an optional torque limiter.
Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in
good working condition. With the gate disconnected from
the gate arm, one person should be able to move the gate
by hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without
binding throughout its travel.
Torque limiters are set light at the factory. They must be
adjusted during installation, preferably after limit cams have
been manually set. With the gate arm and gate attached,
adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep it from slipping
during normal operation. The inherent entrapment protection
(current sensing) feature must activate prior to any slipping of
the torque limiter. See page 13 for current sense setting.
To adjust the torque limiter in models SWR and SWD:
1. Loosen the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.
2. Cycle the gate open and closed while observing the torque limiter
action. TURN THE OPERATOR POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH
OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
To increase the torque, turn the adjustment nut clockwise one flat, or
1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
To reduce the torque, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one
flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
3. When finished, tighten the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.
Limit Cam Fine Adjustment
After finishing the rough limit cam adjustments and torque
limiter adjustment (if optional torque limiter is installed),
reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel.
1. Turn the power disconnect switch ON.
2. Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button.
3. After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.
4. Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete
cycle. Adjust the open or close limit cams again if necessary. If the
gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close
Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 13-14).

Basic Controller Programming
Programming Overview
The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.
The programming fields are defined as “functions” that have “options”.
To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is
divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming
group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate
installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less
commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).
Entering Programming Mode
Enter programming mode by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons
together for one second. While in programming mode the PROGRAM
indicator will light.
Exiting Programming Mode
Exit programming mode at any time by pressing the UP and DOWN
buttons together. The Controller will automatically exit programming
mode after three minutes of inactivity.
Programming Keystrokes
(Typical Programming Method)
While in programming mode, press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll
through the programming functions. When the desired function is
displayed press the ENTER button to display the currently set option for
the function. When an option is displayed, the decimal points are lit.
To change the option, press and hold the ENTER button for 1 second. To
indicate that an option is ready to be changed, the display will flash.While
the display is flashing, press the UP or DOWN button to display the other
options available for that function.
When the desired option is displayed, press the ENTER button to store
it into memory. To select another function, press ENTER, UP, or DOWN.
Left or Right Hand Operation
The factory default is for right hand operation (operator on right side of
the driveway when viewed from the inside of the gate). For left hand
installations, program the Controller for left hand operation.
Dual Gate Enable
The factory default is for single gate operation. For dual gate operation,
wire the two gate controllers together through the COMM LINK terminals
(see Page 23) and enable dual gate operation with this programming
step.
✓NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate
operation is enabled for paired units.
Auto Close Timer
The factory default turns off the Auto Close Timer. The timer can be set
from 1 to 59 seconds and from 1 to 9 minutes. When the Auto Close
Timer is set, after opening, the gate will wait for the length of the Auto
Close Timer then close automatically.

Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)
Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm
The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The
operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The
options are:
• Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 1-9 Seconds
Maximum Open Direction Current Setting
To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator
monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the
programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse
a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled,
and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If
after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the
open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.
To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is
being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to fully open the gate.
During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number
from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not for setting
the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will flash. This
number indicates the range above and below the average motor current
during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range
number so that a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should
an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under
normal conditions without interruption.
Maximum Close Direction Current Setting
To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the
operator monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds
the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop,
reverse, and travel to the full open position. Should a open obstruction
input or an open direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to
the gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and sound the
continuous tone alarm. Another close request will be required to start the
operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle happens
again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and
sound the alarm. If the auto close timer is set, when the close obstruction
input is cleared, the gate will close when the auto close timer expires.
To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is
being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate.
During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number
from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not used for
setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will flash.
This number indicates the range above and below the average motor
current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed
range number so that a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal
should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving
under normal conditions without interruption.

Advanced Controller Programming
Entering Advanced Programming Mode
To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each
programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled.
After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions
will be available on the programming display during the next
programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more
cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.
Maximum Run Time
The factory default for the Maximum Run Time (MRT) is 99 seconds.
When the operator starts, a timer will begin counting. If a open or close
limit is not reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received
before the timer expires, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the
alarm sounds. The timer can be set for 10 to 99 seconds, but should be
left at 99 in most applications. Setting it too close to the actual run time
may cause the time to expire with changing ambient temperature, gate
conditions, etc…
If AC is present and an open or close limit is not reached or an obstacle
or reversing input is not received before this timer exceeds MRT, the
operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds.
In the case that AC is not present and MRT expires, it will be ignored as
long as the actual run time is under 99 seconds. When the gate reached
full open or full close position, MRT will be interpreted as fail safe/secure.
EN05 will occur. If FS as set to fail safe, the gate will open. If FS is set to
fail secure, the gate will close. However, if the actual run time is higher
than 99, it will be interpreted as a physical mechanical problem, EN01 will
occur and the gate will stop immediately.
Single Button Input Setup
This function is used for selecting the operation for single button controls
and radio receivers.
The factory default sets the SINGLE input terminal so successive inputs
will cycle the operator in OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP order.
Alternately, the SINGLE input can be set to cause the gate to OPEN
unless the gate is fully open. If the gate is fully open, the input will cause
the gate to CLOSE.
Stagger Mode
This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory
default sets the Stagger Mode to OFF. In dual gate installations the
two operators communicate through the 3-wire COMM LINK interface.
When using the Stagger Mode, set one operator for delayed opening and
the other operator for delayed closing. The Stagger Time programming
function (see below) sets the length of the delay.
✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is
selected.

Stagger Delay Time
This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory
default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time
sets the delay for the Stagger Mode. The Stagger Delay Time can be set
from 1-99 seconds.
✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is
selected.
Auxiliary Relay Mode
The Auxiliary Relay has normally open and normally closed contacts.
The factory setting disables the Auxiliary Relay. The relay can be set for:
• Maglock: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay
will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only).
• M4: To deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock, the relay will
energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only).
3 seconds after the gate starts to move, the relay will de-energize.
This option is used for higher current solenoid locks.
• Ticket Dispenser: The relay will energize while the gate is moving
in the open direction and at the full open limit, or in an entrapment
condition.
• Strobe: To activate a warning strobe light, the relay will energize
during any pending or actual gate motion (either open or close).
• Alarm: The relay will energize if the gate is manually forced open
from the full closed position.
Reverse Delay Time
The factory default sets the Reverse Delay to 1 second. The operator
will wait the length of the delay before reversing direction. This feature
will not change the reversal time when the operator is responding to an
entrapment condition from an obstruction input or inherent entrapment
protection sensor. The Reverse Delay can be set from 1 to 9 seconds.
Heaver gates require a longer delay to allow time for the gate to stop.
Constant Pressure Mode
The factory default allows momentary pressure on a control station’s
OPEN or CLOSE button to cycle the operator. The controller can be set
to require constant pressure on the OPEN, CLOSE, or both buttons to
run the operator.
✓NOTE: If a button is set for constant pressure, and it is released
before the operator reaches the open or close limit, the operator will
stop the gate at its current position.

Shadow Loop Open Prevention
If the shadow loop is triggered, it always prevents the gate from closing if
the Auto Close Timer activates or a CLOSE command is given while the
gate is at the full open position.
The controller can also be set to prevent the gate from opening if the
shadow loop is triggered while the gate is at the close limit position. This
prevents a swing gate from opening into a vehicle if it’s parked near the
gate on the inside.
Low Power Mode
This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. The
factory default disables the Low Power Mode. When Low Power Mode
is enabled, and AC power fails, the controller will assume Low Power
Mode after 60 seconds of gate inactivity. Low power mode turns off all
accessory power and indicators. Only inputs from the radio receiver,
reverse loop, open loop (optional by programming), fire department input,
or restoring AC power will wake the Controller from Low Power Mode.
Programming Mode can still be accessed while the Controller is awake
in Low Power Mode.
✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators.
Power Failure Mode
This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. The
factory default is set for Fail Safe, alternately the Controller can be set for
Fail Secure, Open Immediate, or Close Immediate.
• Fail Safe: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below
approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle open
if not already open. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets
charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation
and auto-close if programmed to do so.
• Fail Secure: If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops
below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will
cycle closed if not already closed. When AC power is restored, or
the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume
normal operation.
✓NOTE: Fail Safe and Fail Secure are disabled if Stagger Mode is
enabled.
• Open Immediate: If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle
open if not already open and cease operation. When AC power is
restored, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close
if programmed to do so.
• Close Immediate: If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle
closed if not already closed and cease operation. When AC power is
restored, the operator will resume normal operation.
✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators.

Soft Start/Stop Duration
This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. This
function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly
reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only).
The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds. The
Soft Start/Stop Duration can be set from 1 to 10 seconds.
✓NOTE: Changing the Soft Start/Stop Duration will reset the open and
close current setting value to zero. It will be necessary to reprogram
maximum open and close current settings.
✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators
set for DC motor operation with soft start motor selection.
Reset Cycle Count
The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been
cycled full open and close. The cycle count can be displayed. The display
will scroll the cycle count number, flashing two digits at a time from left
to right.
To reset the Cycle Count, press and hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds
while the Cycle Count is displayed.
If the Maintenance Alert has been triggered, resetting the Cycle Count
will also reset the Maintenance Alert indicator.
Maintenance Alert Trigger
The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed
to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.
The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles.
The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25
thousand cycles.
The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the
operator’s absolute Cycle Count.

Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)
Mid-travel Stop Position
The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel
point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a
large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to
be opened partway to allow traffic to pass.
The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately,
the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop,
before reaching the open limit.
When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate
will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN
button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close
obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.
✓NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate
operation is enabled for paired units.
Anti-tailgate Enable
The factory default sets the Anti-tailgate Enable to OFF. With this setting,
during a gate cycle, after the shadow loop has been triggered by the
vehicle and then has cleared after the vehicle passes, the Auto Close
Timer or a CLOSE command is required to begin closing the gate.
If the Anti-tailgate Enable is set to ON, the gate will close immediately
as soon as the shadow loop has cleared. Any subsequent shadow loop
triggers while the gate is closing will stop the gate. When the shadow loop
clears, the gate will continue closing.
Motor Type Selection
The factory sets the default for the Controller to match the type of motor in
the operator. If required, change the motor selection option to a different
type of motor used in the operator. The options available are:
• AC Motor Only
• DC Motor Only with Mechanical Braking
• DC Motor with Electronic Soft Start/Stop
• 3 Phase AC Motor
• AC Motor with DC Motor Backup with Mechanical Braking
• AC Motor with DC Motor Backup with Electronic Soft Start/Stop
