PATRIOT Series AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATORS
This Patriot Gate Operator is intended to be installed on the four different
classes of gate operators identified in the UL325 Standards.
RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR – CLASS I
A vehicular gate operator (or system intended for use in garages or parking areas associated with a
residence of one-to four single families.
COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR – CLASS II
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a commercial location or building such
as a multi-family housing unit (ve or more single family units), hotel, garages, retail store, or other
buildings accessible by or servicing the general public.
INDUSTRIAL/LIMITED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR – CLASS III
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in an industrial location or building such as a
factory or loading dock area or other locations not accessible by or intended to service the general
public.
RESTRICTED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR – CLASS IV
A vehicular gate operator (or system) 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.
Solar Friendly
The Patriot system design and the accessories recommended are all Solar Friendly meaning that
they require the least amount of energy possible to perform the job they were designed to do. The
solar option allows you to install the gate operator in remote areas or in applications where you prefer
to be solar charged. Solar charging provides additional isolation from lightning that might damage the
unit via the AC power needed for the transformer.
BATTERY REQUIRED FOR OPERATION (Battery not included)
Recommended battery type:
Battery 12-volt, Group U-1; sealed (maintenance free); 30 amp hour minimum.
Using a smaller amp hour battery may cause damage to the charging system.
The wiring harness has two 1/4” ring terminals to connect to battery posts.
CAUTION: Do not install wet cell battery into control box; this type of battery
usually has removable caps used for service and will vent into control box.
The battery is charged using the 120V AC Powered Transformer (PN #520004) OR the Patriot Solar
Panel kit (PN 520025). Typically only one panel will be required. For information on what you can
expect from a solar charged system see the solar charging section of this manual. Accessories that
are added to your gate operator must be solar friendly accessories.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Study the entire Safety Section paying particularly close attention to the entrapment zones and
install monitored entrapment devices to protect all entrapment zones identied. Installation by a
Qualied Technician is recommended to verify all safety concerns are addressed.

GATE QUALIFICATIONS/APPLICATIONS
This gate operator is rated for gates up to 32 feet in length and up to 600 pounds in weight. If your
gate exceeds either one of these limits, please consult a qualied technician or the factory for
application questions and advice.
USAutomatic is not responsible for failure to comply with the current UL325 standards, local building
codes or improper installations.
Concrete pad mounting or post mounting by a qualied installer is the recommended method of
securing the operator.
Note: High quality rollers with bearings will allow your gate to operate with minimal drag (minimal
friction) and will decrease the load on the gate operator. Many type of slide gate designs exist.
Choose a design that will decrease friction and required torque.
PROPER GATE DESIGN
IMPORTANT- A GATE OPERATOR CANNOT OVERCOME A POORLY DESIGNED GATE.
Since the gate is a major component of the system, great care and concern must be given to
the gate design. USAutomatic, LLC is not responsible for any damage to a gate on which the gate
operator is installed. A poorly installed or misadjusted gate could be damaged. It is the responsibility
of the installer to verify proper gate installation prior to operator installation. As a general rule, a gate,
which is to be automatically operated, must be stronger and smoother than one operated manually.
• Does the gate slide smoothly without binds or excessive resistance?
• Slide gates should slide level and plumb to prevent the operator from having to pull the gate up or
down grade when opening or closing.
• Is the gate frame of substantial strength without excessive weight?
• Will the gate hit the catch correctly without being hand-guided or pushed into the catch?
• Are the bearings / wheels suited for the number of cycles expected per day?
• Is the track area designed to keep dirt and rocks from obstructing the gate movement?
If any of these problems exist, they must be corrected to achieve a reliable automatic gate system.
All Gates must have smooth bottom edges, no protrusions should exist. If gate hardware or sensors
protrude, they must have smooth surfaces free of any sharp cutting edges that do not exceed ½ inch
beyond the base of the gate. (ASTM F2200)
All weight bearing exposed rollers 8 ft (2.44 m), or less, above grade shall be guarded or covered.
Positive stops shall be required to limit travel to the designed fully open and fully closed positions.
These stops shall be installed at either the top of the gate, or at the bottom of the gate where such
stops shall horizontally or vertically project no more than is required to perform their intended function.
All gates shall be designed with sufcient lateral stability to assure that the gate will enter a receiver
guide.

Mounting Site Review
Review the following items prior to installation and predetermine the solution to any problems
which may exist:
1. Will the unit open the gate by sliding to the left or the right?
Standing on the inside of the property looking out, an operator installed to the left of the drive is a left
hand installation, an operator installed to the right is a right hand installation. See below.
2. How will the chain brackets attach to the gate? See page 14 Step 3
3. How will the operator be mounted (on a pad or on a post) See page 11 Step 2.
4. For AC Charged System - See page 17 Step 10a
5. For Solar Charged System - See page 18 Step 10b
6. How will accessory control wiring, if any, be brought to the control box? Knockouts are provided in
operator base plate for conduit connections. See page 13
7. Have all entrapment areas been identied? See page 3
Do not mount in areas by automatic sprinklers, or ood prone areas. It is important that the control board,
control devices, and the battery compartment stay dry.
NOTE: Regardless of mounting method, ensure that operator base does not extend into the
driveway area, where damage from trafc could occur.

PAD MOUNT
The operator base has four pre drilled holes and four access holes,
which are covered with press in hole plugs. These holes are sized
to accommodate ½ anchor bolts and the plugged hole will accept
a standard size ¾ inch socket. Keep the operator parallel with the
gate while securing.
POST MOUNT
The operator base is equipped with a four-inch post receiver
located on the bottom of the base. This receiver will accept a
square or round four-inch post. Keep the operator parallel with
the gate and level while securing in place.
Set the operator in place (pad or post). Ensure that the chain bolts,
once installed, will be properly aligned with the chain rollers. Once
alignment is veried, secure operator in place using bolts for pad
installation and welding for post installation. Keep the operator
parallel with the gate while securing in place.

Post Mount Installation
POST SPECIFICATIONS
Steel post is an optional mounting method. The operator is designed to handle a 4-inch round or
square thick wall post. The operator can be installed directly onto the post or a steel frame can be
constructed on the top of post. If the method chosen is to construct a frame see dimensions in pad
mount section (page14) for bolt locations and size. If the direct post mount option is chosen, use the
dimensions that follow to install. Also consider that additional bracing might be needed.
POST LOCATION TO GATE EDGE AND HOLE PREPARATION
See illustration for operator base overall dimensions.
Post must be parallel to gate edge. Hole depth should be at least 36 inches and bell shaped to reduce
operator movement to a minimum. The post must be concreted in place.
NOTE: Remember to mount the operator high enough above ground level so that the post and
operator can be welded securely.

Install Chain Brackets to Gate
With the operator securely mounted, use the following procedure to locate and install gate brackets to
gate ends.
Install the chain adjustment bolt into the chain bracket as shown.
Slide the gate fully open. Using the diagram below locate the
correct position for the gate bracket. Clamp the bracket in place
and repeat for gate in the fully closed position. Before welding
gate brackets in place, refer to page 11 to ensure correct
installation. Once alignment is correct, weld chain brackets in
place.
Connect Chain
Using the master links supplied connect one end of chain to one of the chain
adjustment bolts. Use additional master links to connect chain together as
needed to route chain through the operator.
In most installations, the chain will have to be cut to the desired length. To
determine the desired chain length, loosen the chain adjustment bolts to allow for
maximum adjustment. Pull the emergency release knob to allow the chain to roll
freely through the operator. Pull the chain to mate up with the remaining chain
adjustment bolt and mark link that needs to be cut. Once link is cut, install master
link and connect to chain adjustment bolt.
Adjust Chain Tension
The outer ½” nut on the chain adjustment bolt adjusts chain tension. It is important not to over tighten
the chain or premature wear will result. It is also important not to allow the chain to be to loose. Once
the chain tension is correct, secure the inner ½ inch nut by tightening it against the chain bracket. The
chain will have a few inches of drop across the span of the gate when correct.
