SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION
SAFETY
1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate
systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate
operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically
designed for an individual application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take
into account the possible hazards associated with each individual
application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems
can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems
design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential
hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a
component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must
be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
• Edges Sensors (contact) • Guards for Exposed Rollers
• Photoelectric Sensors • Screen Mesh
• Vertical Posts • Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when:
a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage
class of the gate.
b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened
from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.8 m)
above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inches (6 cm) 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 guarding
is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both
directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least 6 feet
(1.8 m) away from any moving 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 security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized
personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in the
line-of-sight of the gate.
9. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) must be located in
the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not
cause the operator to start.
10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on
each side of the gate where easily visible.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor:
a. Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact
sensor for each type of application. See Install Entrapment Protection section.
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.
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.
12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge
sensor:
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.
b. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring
arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
c. A wireless device 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 device shall
function under the intended end-use conditions.
d. 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.
e. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge

INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the
specific entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which
include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only onemonitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input. Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
CONTROL BOARD
CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT (2 Terminals)
The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate
closing the gate will open to the full open position and resets the
Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE (2 Terminals)
The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment protection for the
close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate
will reverse to the full open position, disengaging the Timer-to-Close. This
input will be disregarded during gate opening.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a moving gate.
• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety
reversal system.
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move
gate.
• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or
sticking gate.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control
may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST
be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.

OBSTRUCTION TEST
The operator is equipped with an automatic obstruction sensing feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator will
automatically reverse direction of the gate for a short time and then stop the gate. After any adjustments are made, test the operator:
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2. Place a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Ensure that the gate, the solid object, and the rigid structure can withstand the
forces generated during this obstruction test.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If the gate does not reverse off the solid
object, reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the open
and close limits, but MUST reverse after contact with a solid object.
4. Repeat the test for the open direction.

FORCE DIAL
The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance
interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The force setting is the same for both the
open and close gate directions.
Settings 1-3: Fixed force settings (the force will not adjust due to gate wear or temperature changes)
Settings 4-10: Automatically increase the force due to gate wear or temperature changes
ADJUST THE FORCE
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is stopping at the proper open and
close limit positions. If the gate is not stopping at the proper limits, adjust the force dial accordingly.
2. Place a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Ensure that the gate, the solid object, and
the rigid structure can withstand the forces generated during this obstruction test.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If
the gate does not reverse off the solid object, reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly
counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the open and close limits, but MUST
reverse after contact with a solid object.

cycle count, with 1 LED blinking 1000’s, 2 LED blinking
10,000’s, 3 LED blinking 100,000’s, and simultaneously all
three LED’s blink 1,000,000’s (e.g. 1 LED blinks 3 times, 2 LED
blinks 6 times, and 3 LED blinks once. Cycle count is 163,000.).
Cycle count displayed is between 1,000 and 9,999,000 cycles.
After servicing, set Aux Relay switches back to their appropriate
positions. Cycle count cannot be reset or changed. If under
1,000 cycles the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will turn on for 10 seconds,
then turn off.
NOTE: The expansion board will flash the cycle count 3 times

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be
cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on
a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
• The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
To protect against fire and electrocution:
• DISCONNECT power (AC or solar and battery) BEFORE installing or
servicing operator.
• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact
with a rigid object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact 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.
• Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT
moving.
• KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
• ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster professional.
• Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted
and there are no obstructions to gate travel.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
For continued protection against fire:
• Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.
