SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION
All UL325 compliant LiftMaster gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application. Below are the six types of entrapment protection systems recognized by UL325 for use on this operator.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION TYPES
Type A: Inherent obstruction sensing system, self-contained within the operator.
This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate within two seconds of contact with a solid object.
Type B1: Connections provided for a non-contact device, such as a photoelectric eye
can be used as a secondary protection.
Type B2: Connections provided for a contact sensor. A contact device such as a gate
edge can be used for secondary protection. Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve. Type D: Connections provided for a control requiring continuous pressure to
operate the operator open and close. Type E: Built-in audio alarm. Examples include sirens, horns or buzzers.
NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems.
Moving Gate Can Cause
Injury or Death
KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time without prior warning.
Do not let children operate the gate or play in the gate area.
This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance

The chart above illustrates the entrapment protection requirements for each of the four UL325 classes.
In order to complete a proper installation you must satisfy the entrapment protection chart shown above. That means that the installation must have one primary means of entrapment protection and one independent secondary means of entrapment protection. Both primary and secondary entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open and close directions of gate travel.
For Example: For a slide gate system that is installed on a single-family residence (UL325 Class I) you must provide the following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you must provide Type A inherent (built into the operator) entrapment sensing and at least one of the following as your secondary entrapment protection: Type B1- Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric eyes, Type B2- Contact sensors such as gate edges or Type D- Constant pressure control.

SAFETY » SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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:
• Gate Edges • 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 4' (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a
2-1/4" (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 six feet (6') 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.
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. 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. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. c. 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. d. A wireless contact sensor such as the 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 contact sensor
shall function under the intended end-use conditions. e. 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. f. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

INSTALLATION » INSTALL THE CONCRETE PAD AND CONDUIT

INSTALL THE CONCRETE PAD AND CONDUIT

Check the national and local building codes before installation.
Layout the concrete pad for the operator. The concrete pad should be
1
approximately 24" x 24" x 24" in order to ensure proper and stable operation. The pad should be 6" above the finished grade or even with top of curb (if applicable). NOTE: Pad should always extend below frost line in regions where
ground will freeze.
Install the conduit. The conduits should be installed to fit the 3-1/2" x
2
3-1/2" opening in the pedestal base plate or the 10-1/4" x 8-1/4" opening in the tower base plate. The operator should be centered on the pad and spaced approximately 6" from the edge of the pad on drive way side (in order to get the most reach out of arm). Install conduits for the 120/230 Vac main power, low voltage control wiring, and one or two extra for loop sensor leads. Conduit size should be limited to 1/2" when possible to reduce crowding if more than four are needed. All conduits must be UL approved.
Pour a concrete pad (reinforced concrete is recommended).

INPUTS
INPUTS (J5 TERMINAL STRIP)
DO NOT connect ANY device which would deliver ANY voltage of ANY kind to these terminals.
The J5 terminal strip is used for controlling the barrier arm with various accessories such as receivers, loop detectors, access controls, and push button stations. Use common and normally open contacts from devices connected to these inputs. The J5 terminal strip is located on the top of the control board. Make connections to the appropriate points for the desired operation. Wires should be UL approved 600 volt rated and at least 18 AWG. They are to be routed through the upper grommet in chassis to avoid chafing. All external control devices must have normally open dry contacts.
TERMINAL INPUT EXPLANATION
1,2,3 OPEN These inputs will trigger gate open when pulsed or hold gate open with maintained contact. When released gate
will close if closing timer is on or if close input is given.
4 AUXILIARY OPEN Same as 1, 2 and 3 with S2 switch 6 off. With S2-6 DIP switch in the ON position, the Multiple Vehicle Memory
will activate, with inputs on terminal 4 and Common (COM) on the J5 terminal strip. Use with laser scanners or card readers and (transmitters with timed anti-pass back). With S1 switch 5 on, this input becomes a momentary pulse open, pulse close.
5 SAFETY This input is generally not used with the MEGA ARM. If used its function is to make gate reverse and go back to the
open position if it was closing. Input is disabled when gate is closed.
6 CLOSE When used with a vehicle detector, it is recommended that the presence contacts (N.O. & C.) be used for the
close input. This input will close gate after input is applied and then removed. It will stop the open cycle and reverse gate to close. EXAMPLE: Car crosses over close loop before arm reaches full open position- gate will reverse and close. NOTE: The close input also acts as a safety-stop in that if gate is closing and a tailgater is
sensed at the close input, the gate WILL STOP its closing motion and not continue to close until the close input is removed or gate is re-opened.
7 BACK-AWAY (FREE EXIT) This input is used as a free exit input to open gate. When input is active, gate will open and close immediately
once input is removed. EXAMPLE: Car pulls up to exit loop, gate opens; car “backs-away” from exit loop and gate closes.
8 SHADOW (SAMS) Used to monitor an auxiliary open limit switch of another operator in the same lane. SAMS with memory
feature, see page 19.
9,10,11,12 COMMON These are the commons (0 Vdc) to be used to activate above inputs.
NOTE: Above inputs are tied to LED indicators to show input command activity.

PRIMARY/SECOND WIRING

In a primary/second configuration, either operator can be the primary.
Choose an operator to be the primary and then direct all control wiring to it
1
(also install vehicle detectors and receivers in it). At the primary, any input (at J5) with control wires (detectors, receivers,
2
keypads, timers, etc.) to it must also be run to the same terminals of the second. Along with these control wires, both operators MUST share a common ground connection from chassis to chassis (or from common to common, i.e., primary gate J5 terminal #12 to second gate J5 terminal #12).
EXAMPLE: If only open and close are used at primary then three wires will run between gates (Figure 1).
If it is required that if one gate senses an obstruction, the other reverses also,
3
then 3 additional wires must be run between the primary J3 and second J3 (Figure 2). These connections are for transmitting IRD (obstruction signals) between both operators. This will allow the primary or second to inform the other that a closing obstruction has occurred and for it to reverse and open.
SET switches on S2, 1-8 the same on both gates.

DIP Switch S1-1 to S1-4
When the gate operator activates, it ramps up and slows down for a fixed amount of time, but will run at full speed for variable amounts of time depending upon the settings of the S1-1 to S1-4 DIP switches.
Each DIP switch represents increments of 1/8 second. When DIP switches S1-1, S1-2 and S1-3 are in the ON position, the Fast Run
Timer is set to 2-3/8 seconds by factory default. When DIP switches S1-1 to S1-4 are set in the OFF position, the full speed run
time is 1-1/2 seconds. The longer the operator runs at full speed, the less ramp up and slow down
time. When adjusting, make sure the Fast Run Timer settings DO NOT overrun the slow down time.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Disconnect power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments near drive shaft.

INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD)

Adjustments to be done by qualified service persons only.
The instant reverse device is an internal circuit that continuously monitors the motor's current for increased draw in order to detect obstructions. If the arm is obstructed while closing the arm will reverse to the open position, time out (using the time delay set at S-2 switches 1-5) and then close. If arm is obstructed while opening, the arm will stop, time out (using the time delay set at S-2 switches 1-5) and then close.
Turning the IRD1 right (clockwise more sensitive), or left (counter clockwise less sensitive) in small increments will allow sensitivity adjustments (IF ARM DOES NOT REVERSE, DO NOT CONTINUE TO FORCE).
Place an obstruction in the path of the arm. Adjust sensitivity so that consistent reversal occurs when the arm hits the obstruction. If the gate
1
stops while opening then the IRD is TOO sensitive.
NOTE: Instant reverse device (IRD) should be tested monthly to ensure proper operation.

ADJUST THE BARRIER ARM

The arm should be level in the HORIZONTAL POSITION. If the arm is not level it can be adjusted by sliding the control board and/or adjusting the limit cam. The control board has two sensors on the back of the control board that sense when the limit cam has reached the open and close limit.
If the arm is closing too far: Loosen the control board screws and slide the control board UP to increase the time it takes for the limit cam to travel between each sensor.
If the arm is not closing far enough: Loosen the control board screws and slide the control board DOWN to decrease the time it takes for the limit cam to travel between each sensor.
If the arm is not stopping at the limits: Move the limit cam closer to the control board by loosening the set screw on the limit cam.
After any adjustment open and close the arm to test if the arm is level. Ensure the limit cam set screw and control board screws are tight when adjustments are done.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES » SEQUENCE ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS) WITH "MEMORY"

SEQUENCE ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS) WITH "MEMORY"

SAMS WITH OTHER OPERATORS
REQUIRES THE K1 RELAY OPTION (Order SAMS KIT)
This feature allows a logical interface between the MEGA ARM barrier gate and a swing, slide, etc. gate operator (or MTC-31). All that is required is 4 wires between the MEGA ARM barrier gate and the other operator. It will be necessary to have one set of dedicated/isolated dry contacts - {C. and N.C.} COMMON and NORMALLY CLOSED be available at the other operator’s OPEN LIMIT SWITCH. Most operators will require that this EXTRA limit switch be added to their open limit switch assembly.
OPERATION
A one second pulse from access control device to the MEGA ARM will energize its K1 relay sending an open signal to the other operator causing it to open. However, the MEGA ARM’s barrier arm will not raise yet. When the other operator reaches its full open limit switch, this will open the COMMON and NORMALLY CLOSED contact on the EXTRA open limit switch. This will allow the original signal from your access control device (that was stored in memory) to now raise the barrier arm. As long as the other operator is in the full open position, any additional open pulse sent will in turn energize the MEGA ARM’s K1 relay to send another open signal to the other operator as well as cause the arm to raise again if it has closed via a car crossing the MEGA ARM’s close loop.
WIRING:
1. Run 2 wires from the other operator’s isolated common & normally closed contacts of its open limit switch to the MEGA ARM J5#8 and one of the commons J5, #9-12.
2. Run 2 wires from the MEGA ARM’s K1 relay (common & normally open) to the other operators common and open input. (WARNING: Max of 30 VOLTS at .5 amps through relay). J5 #8 was the unused SHADOW LOOP input on the MEGA ARM. NOTE: A separate open device (24 hour timer, toggle switch) can be run
to the other operator to control it without raising the gate arm. Tampering with the other operator’s safety loops, safety edges and reverse sensors WILL NOT cause the arm to raise if one tripped. The arm will only raise if an intended open signal was sent to the MEGA ARM.
NOTES:
• For motorized teeth, vertical pivot or overhead operator, leave S1-6, S1-8 OFF (this will keep the K1 relay latched down until the arm reaches the down position. This will keep the other gate operator locked open or teeth locked down until the arm closes completely).
• In this mode, if the arm senses an impact, the K1 relay will stay energized holding open (or teeth down) the other operator until the arm times out and closes.
NOTE: Insert a jumper across the JP2 terminal to allow the SAMS feature to work with the multiple vehicle memory count selection, use the K1 relay to open the sequenced gate (S1-5 off, S2-6 on, jumper across JP2). This allows gate to store input counts via J5 #4 but not raise the arm until the sequenced slide or swing gate has fully opened.

TROUBLESHOOTING » BATTERY CHECKOUT + GATE NOT OPERATING
WARNING - DISCONNECT BATTERIES AND AC POWER BEFORE SERVICING ANY MECHANICAL OR MOVING COMPONENTS.

BATTERY CHECKOUT

When the batteries become weak the gate will begin to run noticeably slower.
NOTE: Batteries should only be checked when you are sure they have had adequate time to fully charge.
1. Turn off the AC power and run gate for 5 to 10 cycles while observing low
battery indicator LED D12. If LED 12 comes ON, batteries are too weak to function properly. If LED 12 does not light, then voltage should be checked as they still maybe near failure. Correct voltage is approximately 24.5 Vdc.
NOTE: If LED D12 does light, gate will open to conserve batteries in this test or in a real power loss, even if mode switch 8 on S2 is off.
Return of AC power will clear low battery indicator. Correct charge voltage is 27.5 Vdc with batteries not connected (set with R63, shown on the Control Board Layout page).
