3 Introduction
Safety Installation Information
1. READ and FOLLOW all instructions.
2. The gate operator is intended for use with Class I
vehicular swing gates.
Class I denotes a vehicular gate operator (or system)
intended for use in a home of one to four single family
dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated
therewith.
Install the gate operator only when the operator is
appropriate for the construction and the usage class of
the gate.
3. 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 system design and
installation must reduce public exposure to potential
hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated
or guarded.
4. A gate operator can create high levels of force during
normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be
incorporated into every installation. Specific safety
features include safety sensors.
5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in
both directions prior to the installation of the gate
operator.
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearance is provided 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 operator is intended for use 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. The
pedestrian access shall be located such that persons
will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.
9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety
sensors), see product manual on the placement of
non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for each type of
application.
a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the
safety sensor while the gate is still moving.
b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors)
shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable
by a moving gate or barrier.
10. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as
an edge sensor:
a. 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.
b. 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" (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.
11. Never mount any device that operates the gate
operator where the user can reach over, under, around
or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls
are to be placed at least 6' (1.8 m) from any part of the
moving gate:
• A hard wired control device shall be located and its
wiring arranged so that communication between the
control device and the gate operator is not subject to
mechanical damage.
8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a
moving gate. The gate operator is not acceptable for
use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be
supplied with a separate pedestrian access.

2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection
device or devices must be located in the line of sight
of the gate, or easily accessible controls shall have a
security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Never
allow anyone to hang on or ride the gate during the
entire travel of the gate.
13. Each gate operator is provided with two safety warning
placards. The placards are to be installed on the front
and back of the gate where they are plainly visible.
The placards may be mounted using cable ties
through the four holes provided on each placard.
All warning signs and placards must be installed where
visible in the area of the gate.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Install warning signs on the front and back of the gate in
PLAIN VIEW.
• Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner
using fastening holes.
14. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground
utility lines, contact underground utility locating
companies BEFORE digging.

Connect Gate Operator (Gate 2) to Control Box (Model GA420D Only)
Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate would need to open first and close second. This would happen if there
was an ornamental overhang on one gate or if using a solenoid lock, for example. This gate is called the Primary gate
and needs to be connected to Gate 1 connections on the control board. Thus, it is preferred that the control box be
installed on the same side as this gate. If there is no appropriate location on that side for the control box, then mount the
control box on the opposite side, but connect the operator closest to the control box to the Gate 2 connector and the
operator on the opposite side to the Gate 1 connector.
Set the Lock/Bipart Delay
The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch on the control board
needs to be set to the ON position.
The following illustration shows a dual gate configuration
with a decorative overlapping piece on the outside of the
gate.
Outside Property
Primary Gate - Connect to Gate 1 Connector on Control
Board.
Primary Gate
Outside Property
If a solenoid lock is being used on a gate, the gate with
the lock attached to it would be the primary gate.

Program Limits
The limits are internal settings that indicate when the gates are in the fully open position and the fully closed position. For
proper functionality, the limits must be learned during the installation process. The programmed limit process uses a
combination of buttons on the control board.
The specific buttons used for programming depends on which side of the gates the control box is mounted on and how
many operators the installation includes. Refer to pages 11-12 to determine if the gate is Left- or Right-handed and for
explanation of PULL-TO-OPEN and PUSH-TO-OPEN.
If a mistake is made during the programming process press the RESET button on the outside of the control box to start
over.

Force Adjustment
The operator is equipped a with an obstruction sensing
feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction the operator
will automatically reverse direction and stop. Based on the
length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make
force adjustments. The force adjustment should be high
enough that small objects such as branches or wind will
not cause nuisance interruptions but low enough to prevent
serious injury to a person or a vehicle.
To adjust the force:
Using the 3-button remote or the Single Button Control
(SBC) button on the control board, open and then close
the gate.
If the gate stops and or reverses before reaching the fully
open or closed position increase the force by turning the
force control slightly. Run operator through a complete
cycle.
NOTE:
movement, so seasonal adjustment may be required. The
force control is factory set to the mid position.
Weather conditions can affect the gate
FORCE
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing gate.
• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation
of safety reversal system.
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to
close 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.
Party Mode
TTC can be temporarily disabled by pressing RESET
button (located on the outside side of the control box)
when the gate is fully open. This will allow the gate to
remain open until another command is received. Following
this command, TTC is re-enabled at the previously set
time period.
Minimum Force
Maximum Force
Timer-to-Close (TTC)
The TIMER TO CLOSE feature can be set to
automatically close the gate after a specified time period.
If the TTC is set to the OFF position, then the gate will
remain open until the operator receives another
command from a remote control or SBC.
To set the TIMER TO CLOSE:
Rotate the TIMER TO CLOSE dial to the desired setting.
The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF.
NOTE:
on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close
the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the loops,
close edges, and close safety sensors (IR’s).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 stop 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.
Using Your Gate Operator
Your operator will operate with up to nine Security✚®
remote controls and one Security✚® Keyless Entry System.

any remote, follow the instructions in the Programming
section.
Activate your operator with any of the following:
Hand Held Remote Control (See Accessories): Hold
push button down until the gate begins to move. While gate
is moving, the next command sent from the remote will stop
the gate. Next command will reverse the gate direction.
Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided with your
gate operator, it must be programmed before use. See
Programming
Vehicle Exit Sensor: See accessory page.
.
5. Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not
moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s
manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to
gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use
separate entrance.
8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY
