IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONIMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of severe 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 gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or when
an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel,
retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the
risk of injury or death.
5. Use the manual release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service pro-
fessional make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles only.Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
8. Every gate operator installation M
MU US ST Thave secondary protection devices
against entrapment, such as edge sensors and photo beams more in particularly
in places where the risk of entrapment is more likely to occur.
9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the gate operator only when:
a) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate
(refer to page 5),
b) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate
to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 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,
c) ALL EXPOSED PINCH POINTS ARE ELIMINATED OR GUARDED, AND
d) GUARDING IS SUPPLIED FOR EXPOSED ROLLERS.
2. 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 in contact with the
vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
3. 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. Swinging
gates shall not open into public access areas.
4. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation
of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure
relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
5. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view
of the gate area when the gate is moving AND AWAY FROM THE GATE
PATH PERIMETER,

TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1 800 908 0884 3
WARNING - Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONIMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
6. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any mov-
ing part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or
through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a secu-
rity feature to prevent unauthorized use.
7. The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the
reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
8. All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate. A minimum
of two placards shall be installed. A placard is to be installed in the area of each side of the
gate and be visible to persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard is installed.
9. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Photo beam or like) in
accordance with section 31.1.1 of the UL325 standard:
a) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of
application (refer to page 6),
b) 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
c) 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 (refer to page 6).
d) Use only Omron E3K-R10K4 photoelectric eye to comply with UL325
10. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor (Edge sensor or like) in
accordance with section 31.1.1 of the UL325 standard:
a) One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted
both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate (refer to page 7).
b) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular
vertical lift gate.
c) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular
vertical pivot gate.
d) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the
communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to
mechanical damage.
e) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals to the 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 function under the intended end-use conditions.
f) One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading
edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater
than 6 inches (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one
or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge (refer to page 7).
g) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom
edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
h) Use only Miller Edge Model MGR20 or MGS20 edge sensor
to comply with UL325

STEP 1
Cut and position the Front Mounting Bracket
(offset bar) according to figure A or B found
on page 10 or 11. Tack weld the bracket in
place. Ensure that the bracket is level.
Note: It is recommended to use a frame
member across the full width of the gate.
For gates of non-ferrous construction, a back-
ing plate is provided. The bracket must be cut to
the proper length and welded to the backing plate
if used.
STEP 2
Cut and position the Back Mounting Bracket
(pivot bar) according to figure A or B found
on page 10 or 11. Tack weld the bracket in
place. Ensure that the bracket is level.
Note: For an Open Outside gate, an additional
bracket will need to be fabricated to obtain the
proper configuration (see Figure B, page 11).

To have the gate operator slow down prior to reaching its limits use the following steps:
1. Setup the Limit Switches manually at the desired open and close position.
2. Allow the gate operator to run a full open and close cycle (from limit to limit)
without interruption.
Note: During the first full open and close cycle: The gate operator doesn’t slow
down prior to reaching its limits. During subsequent cycles: The gate operator will
slow down prior to reaching its limits.
3. Verify that the gate opens and closes to the desired position.
To change the open or close limit position(s) the following steps MUST BE taken:
A. Reset the gate operator by performing one of the following steps:
