Important Safety Requirements & Instructions
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING GATE.
4. Test the Vehicular Gate Operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop
when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the limit of travel, retest the Vehicular
Gate Operator. Failure to adjust and retest the Vehicular Gate Operator properly can increase the risk of
injury or death.
5. Use the Emergency Release only when power switch or circuit breaker has been turned off. Using the
Emergency Release during a power failure can be a hazard if power is abruptly restored.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the Owner's Manual. Have a qualified service person
make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Reversing Sensors (Loop Detectors)
Reversing Sensors should be used to prevent gate from closing when a vehicle is in the gate area.
Ramset Gate Operators should not be installed without non-contact sensing devices such as non-
contact sensors, photo electric sensors or the equivalent.
NOTE: Always consult and follow all local building and electrical codes prior to installation.
Prior to Installation, the following must be observed: (per UL 325 51.8.4)
a) Install the vehicular gate operator only when:
1) The Vehicular Gate 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
(1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.15 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, and
4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
b) The Vehicular Gate Operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be sup-
plied with a separate access opening.
c) The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent struc-
tures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access
areas.
d) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the Vehicular Gate
Operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch to compensate for a damaged gate.
e) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while
nWARNING
A non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or equivalent) and a contact sensor (edge device or equiv-
alent) is required on each individual installation to comply with UL325.
Installation should be done by a qualified installer only.

operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset a Vehicular Gate Operator after 2 sequential activations
of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
f) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.
g) For Vehicular Gate Operators utilizing a non-contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1 Type B1 non-contact sensor
(photo electric sensor or the equivalent)
1) See 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, and
3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as
the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
h) For a Vehicular Gate Operator utilizing a contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1
1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and postmounted 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 sen-
sor and the vehicular gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the vehicular 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 obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall func-
tion under the intended end-use conditions.

Installing a Swing Gate Operator
I. Locating the Operator
1. Measure the length of the gate (L).
If the length of the gate is over 12 ft., then
divide the length by 4 (L/4).
If the length of the gate is less than 12 ft, then
divide the length by 3 (L/3).
2. Now clamp the gate bracket near this location.
(Do not weld the bracket until the installation
is completed and thoroughly tested.)
3. When gate is fully closed, mark the point
under the gate bracket where the arm is
going to be attached (L/4 or L/3). (see blue
dot 1, Figure 5)
4. Open gate to desired degree and mark the
point under the gate bracket where the arm is
going to be attached (L/4 or L/3). (see Blue
dot 2, Figure 6)

5. After marking the two spots, draw a line
between the two marks and extend it past
where the operator will be (see red line,
Figure 7).
6. The center of the pivot shaft, on the operator,
should be located on this line with at least a 2"
gap between the cover of the operator and the
gate when fully open.
II. Determining the Length of the Arms
1. Now that the operator is in place, completely
close the gate.
2. Get a string (green line) and tie one end to the
gate bracket (see blue dot 1, Figure 8).
3. Tie the other end to the pivot shaft on the
operator (see red dot 2, Figure 8).
4. Slowly open the gate. While opening the
gate, place a finger against the string (see
point A, Figure 9) and hold the string taunt
and level until the gate is fully open.
5. When the gate is fully open, move your finger
until the string is overlapping the pivot shaft on
the operator (see *).
6. Your finger, Point A, represents the pivot/hinge
bolt between the two arms.
7. Mark the string where your finger is, Point A.
8. The distance between point A and the pivot
shaft on the operator is represented by 'S'.
9. The distance between point A and the bolt on
the gate bracket is represented by 'L'
10. Cut the arms to resemble Figure 10.
Measurements 'S' & 'L' are NOT the exact
lengths of the arms; the bracket and hardware
will affect the actual lengths of the arms.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 3 wire, 120VAC electrical circuit with a 15 amp independent circuit breaker is required for each oper-
ator. Ideally, the electrical conduits should exit the concrete under the operator. Low voltage control
wires must be run in a separate conduit to the operator as shown.
Intelligate©Control Board: The Control Board is completely solid state. L.E.D. readouts show the
status of the operator and control systems allowing for instant troubleshooting. The PCB circuitry
plugs into an edge connector eliminating the need to disconnect any wires when replacing the board.
nWARNING
ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER
WHEN SERVICING OPERATOR!
nCAUTION
Check that gate is clear of people or obstructions
BEFORE turning power ON to avoid injury.
