Installation and Operations Manual — Model 480 Series INSTALLATION 8
CAUTION: For your safety, complete each of these steps before operating the barrier!
Verify unit has hydraulic fluid to recommended level.

Verify control unit is plugged in and cable is routed clear of barrier operation.

Verify area is clear of personnel and other obstructions.

Ensure supplied power to drive unit matches product requirements.

Verify electrical hookups are completed per electrical wiring diagram

matching particular product.
It is recommended the unit be cycled 4 complete cycles prior to any vehicle or

pedestrian traffic.
2 OPERATION
2.1 Introduction
The barrier operates driving the pinch idler wheel into the pinion gear in the direction commanded. The pinion is driven by a hydraulic motor and delivers the power to close and open the gate.
2.2 Control
The 480 unit is controlled by an open/close/stop pushbutton station. The

station can be mounted on the 480 drive stanchion or at a remote guard station or building. The push button station operates a PLC in the LXLR control cabinet. Please reference LXLR manual for more details.
The gate will open, close and stop based on the input from the push button

station. The gate will not close if there is an object (vehicle, person, etc) triggering the safety devices. If the gate has started to close and a safety is triggered, the gate will reverse direction. The LXL operator is equipped with an auto-close timer which is factory set at 10 seconds.
The gates are optionally connected with a key pad station on the safe side of

the barrier. The key pad is activated by a loop detector in the ground. If a proper code is entered, the gate will open.
The gate can be manually operated by lifting the yellow release lever on the

operator. The lever has to be opened completely to prevent dragging on the rack. It takes a minimum of 3 persons to manually push the sliding gate.
For emergency power off, the LXLR has a disconnect switch mounted below

the control cabinet. The battery back up system has two circuit breakers to turn off.
The 480 gate should not be operated in heavy snow and ice unless the operator

and surrounding areas of the gate are cleared of the snow and ice.
