IMPORTANT: Operator MUST be grounded in lightning
prone areas or warranty will be VOIDED!
NOTE: Consult city codes for AC line wiring.
Beware of existing underground services.

ID plug MUST be plugged in.
Proper grounding of this gate operator is a requirement for
LIGHTNING PROTECTION in lightning prone areas. To be effective,
ground connections should be made with a minimum 12 AWG, 600
volt insulated wire to a ground point within 3 feet of the gate
operator. The ground point must be at an electrical panel, a
metallic cold water pipe that runs in the earth, or a grounding rod.
Dual Gate Operators NOTE: Secondary
operator will automatically be set to
the opposite opening direction as the
primary gate operator.

ERD
The ERD Sensor - Electronic Reversing Device (Type A) MUST be adjusted for the OPEN and CLOSE gate cycles.
When the gate encounters an obstruction during the CLOSE cycle, it will reverse to the open position and PAUSE the gate.
An input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and close again.
When the gate encounters an obstruction during the OPEN cycle, it will reverse approximately 6 inches and PAUSE the gate.
An input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and open again.
For the ERD Sensitivity to function correctly:
• Virtual limit sensors must be programmed BEFORE adjusting the ERD Sensitivity.
A. Turn knob until blue LED lights up.
Maximum sensitivity reached,
Position 1 - Too sensitive for most gates.
Position 13:
•Typical gate setting.
B. Turn knob counter-clockwise to
reduce gate sensitivity while testing ERD
until desired results is attained.
(LED remains OFF for all but position 1)
IMPORTANT: When satisfied
with ERD adjustment, cycle
the gate 3 or 4 times to make
sure that the ERD sensor does
not falsely trigger during
normal gate operation.
Re-adjust if this happens.
CAUTION: Position 16 results in gate exerting
MAXIMUM force before reversing direction.
Adjusting ERD:
Typical Settings:
16 sensitivity setting positions.
NO mechanical hard stop for knob.
Position 16:
•Heavy gate setting.
•Long gate setting.
•Cantilever gate setting.
•High wind area gate setting.
