Wiring Specifications
Refer to the following steps for details on power and accessory wiring for the operator.
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.
USE COPPER WIRE ONLY!
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.Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC 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.
DC Control and Accessory Wiring
1.All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000 feet with 14 AWG wire.
2.Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring. 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 21 for details of this connection. Note:The shield wire should be connected in both the operators.

Mounting Pad Installation
The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and prevents it from twisting during operation.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483) which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.
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.
Mounting Pad Specifications
Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum. Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at least as deep as frost line.
If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required. Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this problem as shown.
5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete sets.
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.
NOTE: Maximum gate opening angle is approximately 95 degrees, depending on gate width. If larger opening angle is required, non-standard positioning of the operator and modified articulating arms may be required. Contact the factory for technical information, pricing, and availability.

Operator Preparation
Vent Plug Installation
In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, gear reducers used in gate operators 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 2).
With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).
Gate Arm Installation
The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations. After the proper length of the crank extension and link section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded to complete the assembly.
Setting Left or Right Hand Configuration
The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the factory in right-hand confi guration (the back of the overtravel stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the arm into a left-hand orientation.
Gate Plate Installation
The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended height (24-7/8” above the top of the operator pad). The gate plate supplied with the arm assembly can be welded to the gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been provided for securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.

Gate Arm Installation (Cont.)
Choosing Good Harmonics
Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear on the operator.The gate will have smoother starts and stops when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5 shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.
Installing the Gate Arm on the Operator
The hex cap screws (see Figure 6) in the side of the crank assembly are shipped loose for placement on the operator drive shaft. Once in place, tighten these cap screws in place by applying 75 ft-lbs of torque. If it becomes necessary to remove the crank, you can do so by loosening these bolts. The arm can also be disconnected for manual operation of the gate by removing the disconnect pin.
Setting the Arm Lengths
Most installations will use the standard dimensions specifi ed. The dimensions shown in Figure 7 can be used to adjust and set the arm. If non-standard mounting is required, contact the factory for information.
Once the arm lengths have been determined, use clamps to temporarily attach the solid bars to their sections of rectangular tubing. If clamps are unavailable, you may also tack weld the parts in place. It is recommended that you check the arm for proper action and full gate travel before fully welding the parts together. REMOVE THE GATE ARM BEFORE WELDING! Apply Krylon® metallic gold spray paint or equivalent to touch up welds when fi nished.
CAUTION
DO NOT WELD THE GATE ARM WHILE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE OPERATOR! Connecting the welder’s ground to the operator’s frame will cause the arc welding current to pass through the operator parts, severely damaging or destroying the operator.

Operator Setup
Controller Access
The Controller in models SWR, SWC and SWD is hinged for access and can be removed without taking off the operator’s cover. It swings down for installation, programming, and troubleshooting access (see Figure 8). Under most circumstances you will not need to remove the Controller.
To access the Controller, lift the metal tab below the AC power switch and swing the Controller down. 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.
To remove the Controller from the operator, slide the assembly to the right until the hinges release. Once freed, you can turn the Controller slightly and remove it from the operator. Be careful not to pull on the cables too hard.
AC Power Connection
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
AllLineargateoperatorsaresuppliedwithapowerdisconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to the operator (see Figure 9). Following wiring specifi 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 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 sufficient for a good earth ground.
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 Cam Rough Adjustment
The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must be adjusted for each installation. The limit switches are activated by two rotating limit cams attached to the drive shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom cam is for CLOSE. The cams fl ip their defi 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, and the torque limiter set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate by hand to its fully open position.
2.Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).
3.Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).
