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.

15. SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.

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).
