Pre-installation Information
Before You Begin...
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If you nd
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 800-328-4283
Always Check the Gate’s Action
It’s very important before installing the gate operator to
make sure the gate’s slides free and level throughout
the entire opening distance. 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 airow is ample to
prevent wind resistance and drag.
Gate Operator Classications
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different classications,
depending on their design and usage. Install this gate operator only
when the operator is appropriate for the construction and usage class
as dened 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 ve 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.

TYM 1000/2000 Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 2 - Rev 9 02/14
Wiring Specications
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. TYM 1000 Only: Electrical outlets are supplied in all
115VAC 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.
8. TYM 1000 is 115v 1ph 6.0 amp draw. TYM 2000 is
208/230v 1ph 4.7amp draw.
9. TYM 2000 operator is dual (208/230) voltage single
phase. No transformer tap change or motor rewiring is
required for either voltage.
10. EARTH GROUND REQUIRED see pg. 6
DC Control and Accessory Wiring
1. Open, Close, Stop control functions are 5 VDC. Use
20 ga stranded up to 2000’. Use 18 ga stranded from
2000’ to 5000’.
2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from
power wiring and conduits must be separated my
minimum 12”. 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
25 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.

TYM 1000/2000 Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 3 - Rev 9 02/14
Mounting Pad Installation
The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured
concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and
prevents it from moving during operation.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)
which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.
Gate Preparation
Before installing the pad, make sure the gate rolls or slides
freely, and that all exposed rollers are properly covered. The
gate must be covered with fabric with openings no larger
than 2-1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 72” above ground
level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than
2-1/4” apart, mesh is optional.
Mounting Pad Specications
Recommended pad size is 21” x 21” minimum. Pad depth
should be set according to local codes and at least as deep
as frost line. 5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before
it sets following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the
concrete sets.
Figure 1. Mounting Pad Specications
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.

Gate Mounting Bracket and Chain
Assembly
Your gate should be hung level and move freely by hand in
both directions before attaching the operator drive chain.
Slide the gate to the fully open position. Line up the slot
in the chain mounting bracket with the bottom of the idler
wheel on the operator. Mark the leading edge of the gate
frame using the chain mounting bracket as a template. Drill
and mount the chain mounting bracket as shown in Figure
3.
Slide the gate to the folly closed position and mount the
other chain mounting bracket to the rear edge of the gate
frame the same way.
Attach the chain to both chain mounting brackets as shown
in Figure 4, route the chain through the operator as shown
in Figure 5.
Install chain support brackets as shown in Figure 6A or 6B
as applicable to gate style. Brackets should support the
chain but must not hit the operator. See Figure 1.
Adjust the chain to have 1-2” of sag between the chain
supports as shown in Figure 2.

Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in this gate operator 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 7).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 7).
Operator Setup
Controller Access
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.
AC Power Connection
All Tymetal Corp. gate operators are supplied with a power
disconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to
the operator (see Figure 8). Following wiring specications
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 also be
found on the label inside the cover of the operator.
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 sufcient
for a good earth ground.
3 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 Nuts Rough Adjustment
The limit nuts are not preset at the factory and must be
adjusted for the length of the gate in each installation. The
limit switches are activated by two threaded nylon rotary
limit nuts which are attached to a threaded limit shaft
driven by a chain and sprockets from the main drive shaft
(see Figure 10). REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FILLER
BEFORE ADJUSTING THE LIMIT NUTS.
The Controller is factory set for right hand installations. The
left limit nut is for OPEN and the right limit nut is for CLOSE.
The limit nuts ip their denition 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,
disconnect the operator by using the manual disconnect
lever. Once the operator has been disconnected,
manually move the gate by hand to within a foot of its
fully open position (the foot of distance is necessary to
allow for coasting of the operator after the limit switch is
tripped).
2. Once the gate is in this position, adjust the OPEN limit
nut until it activates the limit switch for open. Press down
the detent plate and rotate the nut along the threaded
shaft (see Figure 10).
3. After setting the open limit, move the gate to one foot
from fully closed and repeat the process for the CLOSE
limit nut (see Figure 10).
Limit Nuts Fine Adjustment
After nishing the rough limit nut adjustments, reposition the
gate to approximately the center of travel.
1. Re-engage the operator using the disconnect handle.
2. Turn the power disconnect switch ON.
3. Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN
button.
4. After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.
5. Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through
each complete cycle. Adjust the open or close limit
nuts again if necessary. Fine levels of adjustment can
be made by adjusting a few teeth on the nut at a time.
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).

CAUTION
If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set
the Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the
operator for the ne setting of the limit nuts. Failure to do so
will result in over-shooting the limit switches, and can cause
damage to the operator and/or gate. Refer to programming
on Page 12.

Basic Controller Programming
Programming Overview
The Controller can be programmed with various options
for the operator. The programming elds are dened 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 slide 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 ash. While the display is ashing, 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 25) and enable dual gate
operation with this programming step.
3 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 3-9
Seconds
Maximum Open & Close Current Variation
Settings
To detect obstructions or mechanical problems with the
gate, the operator monitors motor current and the amount
that it varies during movement. If the current variation to
open the gate exceeds the programmed range (variation),
the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, and stop
again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and another
open request will be required to start the operator. After a
restart, if the overload or an open obstruction occurs before
the open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and
sound the alarm.
To view the running-current in the open direction, enter
programming mode.
1. Scroll to OC [CC] function, while “OC” [“CC”] is being
displayed.
2. Push ENTER (for 1 sec) to view the present setting.
3. Push and hold the OPEN [CLOSE] button for a minimum
of 7 seconds of run for each direction. During movement,
the motor current will be displayed as a current load #
from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting
but not for setting the motor current variation.
4. Release the button at the end of travel (7 sec min) and
a different number will ash. This number indicates the
range (variation) above and below the average motor
current during the run.
5. Re-set the range number slightly above the measured
ashing range number using the + or - buttons. Push
ENTER to store the value. A minimal force of 50-
75 lbs should activate the reversal device should an
obstruction occur. The setting should be high enough to
keep the gate moving under other conditions resulting
from temperature changes, component wear, debris,
wind, snow, etc.
6. Verify your setting by measuring the force required
to reverse the gate as per Gate Operator Installation
Checklist in rear of manual.
7. Setting must be done for the CLOSE direction as well
as the OPEN direction. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the
CC function.

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 an 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.
See p. 27 for reset
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
(Rarely used in slide gate installations)
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 Delay Time
programming function (see below) sets the length of the
delay.
3 NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate
operation is selected.

Stagger Delay Time
(Rarely used in slide gate installations)
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 Time can be set from 1-99 seconds.
3 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:
• For solenoid locks with in-rush current less than 5a,
the APeX AUX Relay will engage during any pending
or actual gate motion (open direction only) to activate
a solenoid lock.
• For solenoid locks with in-rush current between 5a
and 13a, a separate interface relay is required. The
APeX AUX Relay will energize during any pending or
actual gate motion (open direction only) to activate the
solenoid lock. When the solenoid lock is supplied by
Tymetal as part of the gate operator order, the interface
relay is added at manufacture and the controller is
properly programmed to function as above.
• Maglock: The relay will energize during any pending or
actual gate motion (open only) to deactivate a magnetic
gate lock.
• Ticket Dispenser: The relay will be energized at all
times (enabling a ticket dispenser) unless the operator
is fully open or in an entrapment position.
• Strobe: The relay will energize during any pending or
actual gate motion (either open or close) to activate a
warning strobe light.
• 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.

Advanced Controller
Programming (Cont.)
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,
ashing two digits at a time from left to right.
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.
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 trafc 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.
3 NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when
dual gate operation is enabled for paired units.
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
