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

of a vertical barrier (arm).

SET THE BIPART DELAY (SINGLE CONTROL BOX)

Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate will 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.

1. The 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.

SET THE BIPART DELAY (DUAL CONTROL BOX)

BIPART DELAY/SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE

The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used with dual control box applications and serves two functions:

• BIPART DELAY: The BIPART DELAY is used in applications where a

mag-lock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one gate to close before the other. The control box with the LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch ON will delay from the close limit when opening and be the first to close from the open limit.

• SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE: The BIPART DELAY is also used in

applications where one gate travels a longer distance than the other. To synchronize the closing of the gates, set the LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch to ON for both control boxes.

Primary Gate

OUTSIDE PROPERTY

Primary Gate - Connect to Gate 1 Connector on Control Board.

INSTALLATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone.

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone

who may come near a moving gate.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts, walls, pillars, or columns.

STEP 9

INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system and REQUIRES the addition of an external monitored entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone prior to gate movement. A monitored

device sends a pulsed signal to the operator so the operator is aware of the device. If the operator does not receive the signal from the device it will not run.

An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly. Use only

LiftMaster approved entrapment protection devices (refer to the accessory page).

NON-CONTACT SENSORS

If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. Monitored photoelectric sensors MUST be used. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL gate operation in that direction will stop.

Monitored Photoelectric Sensors

Sensors for Open Cycle

(Outside Property)

NOTE: If the distance between the open gate and the wall is less than 16" (40.6 cm) entrapment protection for this area is required.

Entrapment protection is required for the area between the gate and the curb.

(Inside Property)

Sensors for Close Cycle

CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS)

If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared.

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 one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input. Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board (not provided).

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.

The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The solar panel(s) comes with a 10 foot (3 m) cable. If a location near the control box cannot be found, an additional cable will be required. The LA412DC Solar Gate Operator is not supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4° F. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart for areas that reach below 32° F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper operation.

INSTALL SOLAR PANEL(S)

The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In general, the panel(s) should be mounted using the provided angle bracket facing due south. Use a compass to determine direction. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of all obstructions and shading from buildings and trees. If the panel(s) is not casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.

TIPS:

• Tall trees or buildings that do not shade the solar panel(s) in the summer could shade the solar panel(s) during the winter months when the sun sits lower in the sky.

• The area around the solar panel(s) should be clear of shadows or obstructions to the sun for a 180° arc east to west.

• Wire runs should be kept as short as possible. The solar panel(s) can be located up to 100 feet (30.48 m) from the operator using #16 AWG wire in any direction, including elevating it.

• DO NOT install solar panel near potential shading or obstructions that will block the panel during any part of the day.

• To optimize the system for winter operation the angle can be increased an additional 15° (solar panel(s) sits more vertical).

ADJUSTMENT

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT

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.

INTRODUCTION

Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit and force adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the gate will stop in the open and close position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the gate. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the limits but should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the control board (refer to Fine Tune the Force section) to compensate for environmental changes.

The limits can be set using the control board (following page) or a remote control (refer to Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Appendix). Setting the limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.

NOTE: The Test Buttons on the control board will not work until the limits have been set.

• 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.

FINE TUNE THE FORCE

The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel.

Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments. 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.

1. Open and close the gate with the test buttons.

2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise.

3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every force setting adjustment (see below).

ADJUST THE LIMITS

After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section, on page 27.

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.

See Adjust Limits section. 3 MOVE GATE Buttons: The MOVE GATE buttons will either open or close the gate when the operator is in Limit setting mode. See Adjust Limits section. 4 BATT FAIL:

• When AC power is OFF and battery voltage is critically low the gate will latch at a limit until AC power is restored or batteries voltage increases.

• Option select switch set to OPEN forces gate to automatically open and then latch at the OPEN limit until AC power is restored or battery voltage increases.

• Option select switch set to CLOSE forces gate to latch at CLOSE limit if at CLOSE limit or on next CLOSE command until AC power restored or battery voltage increases.

• Constant pressure on a hard command input overrides to open or close the gate.

• Critically low battery is less than 11.5 V

5 BIPART DELAY Switch: The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only for dual gates. See Bipart Delay section. 6 LEARN Button: The LEARN button is for programming remote controls and the network. 7 TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial: The TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC) dial can be set to automatically close the gate after a specified time period. The TTC is factory

set to OFF. If the TTC is set to the OFF position, then the gate will remain open until the operator receives another command from a control. Rotate the TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial to the desired setting. The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF.

NOTE: Any radio command, single button control, or CLOSE command on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the open controls, loops, close edges, and close photoelectric sensors (IR’s).

OPERATION

MANUAL RELEASE

In case of a power failure, the operator can be disengaged from the gate. With an operator, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky, which is normal and has no effect on function. NOTE: It is normal for the

operator to run slow right after a disconnect or complete loss of AC/ battery power (the operator will need to run a complete open and close cycle).

RELEASE

1. Insert the key into the lock.

2. Turn the key counter-clockwise 180°.

3. Turn the release lever counter-clockwise 180°.

Operator is in manual mode and the gate can be opened and closed manually.

ENGAGE

1. Turn the release lever clockwise 180°. This engages the motor.

2. Turn the key clockwise 180°. This locks the release lever.

3. Remove the key and store in a safe place. The operator is now engaged.

OPERATION

OPERATOR ALARM

If a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice consecutively the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset.

When the inherent force of the operator (RPM/current sensor) detects the following (twice consecutively) the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset:

A. The operator arm or gate is incorrectly installed.

B. The gate does not meet specifications.

C. Gate hinges are too tight or broken and the gate is not moving

freely.

D. The gate is moving and a car pushes the gate.

E. A foreign object is on the gate frame while the gate is moving.

F. The gate hits the driveway, curb or other, and gets stuck or bent in

an awkward position.

Remove any obstructions. Press the reset button to shut off the alarm and reset the operator. After the operator is reset, normal functions will resume.

The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low.

REMOTE CONTROL

SINGLE BUTTON CONTROL (SBC) FUNCTIONALITY

Once the remote control has been programmed the operator will operate as follows:

When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open the gate. During the open cycle another activation of the remote control will stop the gate and the next activation of the remote control will close the gate.

When the gate is in the open position, activation of the remote control button will close the gate. If the remote control is activated while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and the next activation will open the gate.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• 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.

• ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment.

• Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or reverse 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.

• 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.

• To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries.

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

MAINTENANCE CHART

Disconnect all power (AC, solar, battery) to the operator before servicing. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries to service the operator.
