PRE-INSTALLATION

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide
convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is
ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected
and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the
installation and testing of the complete gate system. The HDSWG
1000 has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is
certified to comply with UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by
the UL symbol on the name plate. (115 Volt version only.)

NOTICE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION,

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU
WILL BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE
FEATURES OF THE HDSWG 1000 AND ITS PROPER
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.

Because the Allstar HDSWG 1000 (as well as gate operators sold by
other manufactures) is designed to start and move gates weighing as
much as 1200 pounds, or more,---the Allstar HDSWG 1000 is capable
of producing high levels of force. It is important in the design of the
total gate system that designers, installers and users be aware of the
hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design,
installation and use of Vehicular Gate systems and Gate Operators.

The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate
operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly
designed system will include all applicable safety devices.

As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also
have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL possible
operational hazards have been considered and eliminated. YOU

MUST ADVISE AND WARN the purchaser and the ultimate user of
ANY HAZARDS

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 has a built-in "overload detector" that
can help reduce the hazards of your gate system. This device,
however, must not be considered as the primary defense system.
Consider all available options (electric leading edges, photoelectric

that you have not been able to eliminate.

sensors, protective screen mesh, etc) to eliminate hazards in your
gate system design.

* The Allstar HDSWG 1000 built-in overload detector will activate if
there is an abrupt increase in motor current above that normally
required to move the gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS
AN ADJUSTABLE SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT
THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE
TESTED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE
SENSITIVE THIS SETTING CAN BE MADE.

NOTICE

THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND

INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS
WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ITS USE. IT MUST BE
UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION
MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING,
MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR
ANY OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE —
OPERATING A SWING GATE.

ADVISE THE PURCHASER TO CHECK THE SENSITIVITY OF
THE OVERLOAD PERIODICALLY AND, AFTER REMOVING
THE CONTROL BOX COVER, LOG THE DATE TESTED ON THE
LOG DECAL PROVIDED ON THE CONTROL BOX (See Figure 1,
below.)

The HDSWG 1000 is also provided with a Torque Limiter that may be
adjusted to "slip" when an obstruction is encountered. However, the
purpose of the Torque Limiter is to protect the HDSWG 1000
mechanical parts. Whether the overload is activated before the Torque
Limiter slips will depend upon the "tightness" of the adjustment of the
Torque Limiter. This adjustment will be explained in the final check
out of the HDSWG 1000.

INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW

WARNING!

ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND

GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS!

GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
SAFETY CHECK LIST:

•

DO NOT locate any device (key switch, switch, key pad, card
reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person
reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any
manner.

•

Install all devices that will open or close the gate in such a
manner that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN
THE DEVICE IS OPERATED. The recommended distance
between gate or fence and accessory is 10 feet.

•

SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided
with the HDSWG 1000 on the gate (one on the outside and one
on the inside) where they can be seen by persons in the area of
the gate to alert them of automatic gate operation. (If the user
refuses to have the warning signs installed, Allstar
recommends that you note this on your records and have the
user sign a disclaimer.) See Figurez2.

104949

Figure 3

•

The Allstar HDSWG 1000 is a VEHICULAR GATE
OPERATOR and as such is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
PEDESTRIAN traffic. In installations where pedestrians are
likely to be nearby, install a pedestrian gate and use leading
edge detectors and/or photocells in your design to protect
system entrapment zones. Allstar can provide these products
for incorporation in your gate installation.

Figure 2

•

FOR INSTALLATIONS WHERE IT IS LIKELY THAT
CHILDREN WILL BE PRESENT NEAR THE AUTOMATIC
GATE, PLACE A WARNING SIGN SPECIFICALLY
DIRECTED TO PARENTS AND VISITORS TO KEEP
CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE GATE AND NOT ALLOW
CHILDREN TO PLAY ON THE GATE. (If the user refuses
to have the sign installed, Allstar recommends that you note
this on your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See
Figure 2.

•

For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES, injuries may
occur when people put arms through the openings or children
“ride” the gate by standing on the chain and holding on to the
gate. THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED
BY INSTALLING A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. See
Figure 3.

104880

•

SWING GATES HAVE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF
HANDS AND FINGERS BEING PINCHED between the gate
edge and the post to which the gate is mounted. It is
recommended that the hinges be mounted so that this opening
increases as the gate swings open. PROTECT THIS
"PINCH POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See
Figure 4.

•

CONSIDER ALL OTHER "PINCH POINTS" IN YOUR
DESIGN of the gate system. Observe the arm as it opens and
the two arm pieces swing past each other. Use protective
measures to reduce hazards at this location. Restrict access to
the arm motion. See Figure 4.

•

DO NOT overtighten a force limiting device (clutch, sensitivity
adjustment, hydraulic valve, etc.) to compensate for a damaged
gate. A well maintained gate will ensure easy manual
operation (if needed) and maximum operator obstruction
sensitivity.

•

Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security
type to prevent unauthorized use of the system.

•

Make sure the gate operating system is placed far enough back
from the road to eliminate traffic backup. The distance from
the road, size of the gate, usage level and gate cycle/speed must
be taken into consideration to eliminate potential hazards.

A: IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES

•

Check the operator manufacturer’s specification to ensure that
the operator is proper for the cycles per hour, size and type of
gate.

•

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR THE
BELTS AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed.
Apply power to the operator only when instructed to do so.

•

Before activating the "timer to close" option of the HDSWG
1000, ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT DEVICES
(operator reversing feature, edges, photocells) ARE
OPERATING and install VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS
AND VEHICLE DETECTORS for protection of user vehicles.
Read the manual for information on the installation of these
devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING
ON A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO
PERIODICALLY CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE
DETECTORS.

•

Make sure that the gate moves freely, all hinges are in good
working order, the gate does not bind in any manner and the
gate swing area is clean and free of irregularities.

•

When the HDSWG 1000 Control Box cover is removed and
the small metal cover from terminals 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 is
also removed, 115 Volts will be exposed AS LONG AS THE
MAIN POWER SWITCH IS ON. EVEN IF THE RED
POWER LIGHT IS NOT LIGHTED, 115 VOLTS AC MAY
STILL BE PRESENT ON THESE TERMINALS. NEVER
LEAVE THE INSTALLATION WITH THESE COVERS
REMOVED.

•

DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR UNTIL ALL GATE
PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

•

DO NOT consider the built in sensitivity overload as the
primary defense system. Consider all options in the gate
system design.

•

DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the HDSWG
1000 (detectors, card readers, etc.) until the gate operator and
all its functions are fully tested. Only connect one device at a
time and ensure its proper function(s) before moving on to the
next device.

•

Install the operator on the inside of the property/fence line.
DO NOT install an operator on the public side of the fence line
or gate. Outward swinging gates should not open into public
areas.

•

AS THE INSTALLER YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

PREPARING THE SITE

B:

The standard HDSWG 1000 is designed to operate a single leaf gate.
The control box and mechanical units are separate devices. It is
necessary to find a suitable location to mount the control box, i.e., post
or wall. Separate low voltage and high voltage conduits will be run
between the control box and mechanical unit. (See Figure 8.)

To properly install a bi-parting gate system, it is necessary to add one
additional mechanical unit to the design. The control box will operate
two mechanical units. It is necessary to run an additional low voltage
and high voltage conduit between the two mechanical units. (See
Figure 8.)

The Installation of the HDSWG 1000 MECHANICAL UNIT will
require a suitable concrete pad as a mounting base. The dimensions of

104951

Figure 5: Pad Configuration

the concrete pad should be sufficient to allow at least 3" of clearance
from each edge of the pad to the nearest operator mounting hole. The
top of the pad should be at least 3" above grade to raise the operator
above any standing water. The depth of the pad below grade is
dependent on the weight and size of the gate and the soil conditions at
the site of the installation. ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL BUILDING
CODES.

If no suitable concrete base exists, a pad must be poured. See Figurez6
for plans for this pad. If the location of the operator is such that
vehicles have the potential of hitting the operator, consideration should
be given to installation of protective posts in front of the operator.

If a suitable concrete base already exists for mounting the operator it
will be necessary only to drill mounting holes for the HDSWG 1000
MECHANICAL UNIT. 3/4" mounting holes are located on the front
and rear of the MECHANICAL UNIT. The bolt pattern is shown in
Figurez6. The mounting bolts should be 1/2" diameter or larger. "Red
head" or wedge anchor concrete bolts are usually satisfactory.
If mounting anchor bolts are to be installed prior to pouring the pad,
pay particular attention to the bolt pattern and the location of the
mounting holes with respect to the center line of the gate post. It is

critical for the proper operation of the Arm that the center line of the
shaft of the HDSWG 1000 MECHANICAL UNIT be located exactly as
shown on the bolt pattern drawing, Figure 6.

PLACING THE VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS

104947

Figure 6: Operator Footprint

I f Vehicle Detectors are to be used with
the HDSWG 1000, the "Loops" to be buried in the drive should be
installed during the site preparation phase of the installation. Proper
placement of the Vehicle Detector wire loops is critical if the loops are
to provide satisfactory, extended service. THE MOST IMPORTANT
CONSIDERATIONS ARE: 1) PROPER WIRE TYPE AND, 2)
GOOD, TIGHT CONNECTIONS FROM THE LOOP TO THE LOOP
TERMINATING CONNECTOR. The termination of the loop wires

will be at the Vehicle Detector itself, not on the HDSWG 1000
terminal board. Observe the wiring diagram supplied with the

Vehicle Detector Manufacturer. The Vehicle Detector may be mounted
in the HDSWG 1000 MECHANICAL UNIT. The AC power delivered
to the MECHANICAL UNIT by the HDSWG 1000 Control Box will

be satisfactory for the Vehicle Detector. A seperate A/C service

NOT

must be provided for the Vehicle Detector.

Two different types of Loop Installations will usually be encountered
when placing the loops in the drive: 1) If the driveway material is
already in place. saw cuts will be needed in which to place the loop
wire. 2) For loops where the paving material will be installed after the
loop is positioned, it is necessary that the loops be placed in Schedule
40 PVC pipe to maintain uniform loop spacing with respect to the
surface of the pavement. The loop should be placed 1.5" below the
surface of the pavement and at least 2" above any reinforcing steel.
The lead-in wires need not be in PVC, but must have a least six (6)
twists per running foot.

THE LOOP WIRES MUST BE CONTINUOUS. NO SPLICES OR
CONNECTIONS IN THE LOOP ARE TO BE PERMITTED BELOW
GROUND. THE ONLY CONNECTION WILL BE AT THE
TERMINATION OF THE WIRE AT THE VEHICLE DETECTOR.
Above ground splices may be used providing the wire is twisted,
soldered and moisture sealed. For best long term results, do not use
wire nuts anywhere in the loop system. Connect to the Vehicle
Detector harness by soldering.

PREPARING THE SITE

B:

Figure 7: Loop Diagrams

For saw-cut installations, observe the methods recommended in
Figure 7, above. The saw-cut must be to a depth of 1.5", clean and
with no sharp corners. After placing the wires, it is essential that the
wires be held tightly in place by a foam backing prior to pouring the
sealant. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN FREEZING
IS LIKELY. No voids should exist that will permit the collection of
water that might freeze and push the loop wires out of the slot. The
sealant used should not be hard setting and should be suitable for
pavement material.

THE WIRE USED FOR THE LOOPS MUST BE HEAT AND
WATER RESISTANT, CROSS-LINK POLYETHYLENE
INSULATED. TYPE XLPE IS BEST. RHW IS O.K. DO NOT
USE ANY PVC INSULATED WIRE. (PVC insulation will absorb
moisture that may affect Detector operation.) WIRE SIZE SHOULD
BE #16 GA. STRANDED OR LARGER.

VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOP BLANKING FOR
SWING GATES

The inside loop for a swing gate installation must be located at least
4 feet outside of the arc of the gate. If it is not, the Vehicle Detector

may detect the gate as it moves over the loop and cause the Gate to
reopen. If the gate is large and a single leaf, the arc usually requires
that the loop be a considerable distance from the closed gate position.
This may not be an effective position for the loop. In this case, a
“blanking” or “shadow” loop may be used.
WHEN A SHADOW LOOP IS NECESSARY, THE HDSWG 1000
MUST BE ORDERED WITH A SPECIAL DOUBLE POLE LIMIT
SWITCH FOR THE OPEN LIMIT SWITCH. The Vehicle Detector
relay control signal must be routed through the normally open
contacts of the second switch contacts of the Double Pole Open
Limit Switch. When the gate is in the fully open position, this
contact will close the circuit of the Vehicle Detector to the HDSWG
1000 and prevent the gate from closing when a vehicle is over the
Shadow Loop. When the gate is closing or opening, this contact of
the Limit Switch is open and the Vehicle Detector signal path is
broken.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

The HDSWG 1000 can be ordered for 115 Volts AC (VAC) or 230
VAC operation. Which voltage HDSWG 1000 to order depends
solely on the distance from the electrical service to the operator and
the wire size desired to be used. The AWG wire size for the

7

104945

PREPARING THE SITE

B:

electrical service depends on the distance of the operator from the
breaker panel. Refer to Table 1 to determine the correct wire size.
The NOMINAL column is the ideal distance from the breaker panel
to the operator for a given wire size and voltage. The distances
shown in the MAXIMUM column should never be exceeded and
should only be used where it is known that the voltage at the power
panel will never be less than 105 VAC. (The HDSWG 1000 will
operate at a voltage as low as 95 VAC measured at the input

Table 1

terminals to the operator. The "maximum distance" of Table 1 is
calculated to supply 95 VOLTS to the HDSWG 1000 during the
"stop cycle" when the line voltage is at 105 VOLTS.) NOTE! FOR

A BI-PARTING INSTALLATION, THERE WILL BE TWO
MECHANICAL UNITS OPERATING AT THE SAME TIME.
IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE THE LENGTHS IN
TABLE 1 BY A FACTOR OF TWO.

Class 2 low voltage wiring from external controls such as a key pad,
card reader, telephone entry device, etc. must be brought to the
HDSWG 1000 CONTROL BOX by a separate conduit from the 115
VAC electrical hook up conduit. Low voltage control wires MUST
NEVER be routed in the same conduit as the HIGH VOLTAGE
power wires.

OTHER VOLTAGES AND THREE PHASE SYSTEMS.

The HDSWG 1000 can operate at other voltages or on three (3)
phase systems. To operate at 440 VAC it will be necessary to install
an external step down transformer. The transformer should be
located in a separate electrical box and protected by suitable circuit
breaker and/or fusing. A 440 Volt rated switch should also be
installed. Follow local electrical codes or the National Electrical
Code. The transformer selected should be UL LISTED and be rated
for 500 Volt-Amperes/Watt.

IF TWO MECHANICAL UNITS ARE TO BE USED FOR A BI­PARTING GATE SYSTEM, THEN A 1000 VOLT-AMPERE/
WATT TRANSFORMER MUST BE USED.

Operating from a three (3) phase line will require the use of a 230
VAC rated HDSWG 1000. The HDSWG 1000 may be operated from
a 230 Volt "Delta" line or a 120/208 "Y" line. In either case, ONLY
one "leg" of the three phase line will be used. The unbalance of the
line will be minimal since the full rate current of the HDSWG 1000
at 220 VAC is only 2.2 amperes. (4.4 Amperes for a bi-parting
system.) Connect any two wires of the three phase system to the 230
VAC HDSWG 1000 Tape the third wire carefully so that it does not
short to any other object. (The "Y" system will have 4 wires, one of
which will be the "common". Make sure the common is NOT
selected as one of the wires connected to the HDSWG 1000.) It is
always best to also pull a ground wire from the electrical service box
to the HDSWG 1000 to ensure the frame is securely affixed to
GROUND.

SERVICE CONDUIT

For new installations the conduit for the High Voltage may be
brought to a junction box near where the HDSWG 1000 CONTROL
BOX will be located or it may be brought directly to the Control
Box.
