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

Type B1:

Type B2: Connections provided for a contact sensor. A contact

Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve.
Type D: Connections provided for a control

Type E: Built-in audio alarm. Examples

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.

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 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.

Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual

2.
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).

at JP2 (stops gate, see NOTE-1). Use only UL recognized
sensors. At least one secondary “stop” photo beam should be
installed along the gate’s path that is covered when open. Photo
beams are to be installed according to their manufacturer’s
instructions and are to be placed in areas that pose a risk of
entrapment. A separate pedestrian door is required per UL-325.

It is recommended that all gates and operators be installed to
conform to that latest ASTM F2200-02 requirements.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPEN ROLLER GATES

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

• Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught
between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller.
These potential pinch-points should be guarded against at
ALL times. Enclosed style gate tracks are available for
refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also,
roller guards are available for installing over the rollers.

• UL325 requires that, when used, contact sensors shall be
located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and be post
mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal
slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes must
protect during both open and close gate cycles.

• Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms
through openings in the grill while the gate is operating.
They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the
moving gate grill and the stationary fence post or fence. This
potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4' (1.2 m)
screen mesh on the gate to prevent access through
openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety Brochure
for details. To prevent entrapment injuries, mount controls
at least 6' (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving parts of the

gate.

INSTALLATION

CONCRETE PAD

The concrete pad for operator mounting should be approximately
24" x 24" x 24" in order to provide adequate weight and structure
to insure proper and stable operation. Pad should be 6" above
finished grade (street level) or 6" above top of curb if one is
present. Be sure to position pad so that it is not so close that it
will interfere with the wheel mounting/axle bolts on the gate or
that it is so far away that the rear mounting holes in the base will
be too close to the edge of the concrete form.

NOTE: Pad must always extend below the frost line in areas
where the ground freezes.

ANCHORS

Proper anchors for fastening operator to pad will be a 1/2" x 6"
wedge anchor patterned to match the mounting base of the unit.
They should be installed with approximately 1" showing above
concrete surface in order to allow for the 1/4" thick base plate as
well as washers for leveling. Mounting hole pattern is 15 3/4"
wide by 6 3/4" deep. The rear mounting hole centers (nearest to
gate) will need to be between 6 1/4" and 7" from gate if the chain
brackets that are provided are to be used (based on a gate with a
2" x 2" box tubing frame).

CHAIN INSTALLATION

Before beginning to install the chain, be sure that the centerline of
the mounting holes in the chain brackets are 8 3/8" above the
mounting pad. Once the brackets have been installed and the
mounting holes in the brackets line up with the bottom of idler
pulleys, connect one end of the chain to one end of the gate. Next
thread the chain through the idlers and drive sprocket, then attach
it to the other end of the gate. Cut chain so that the chain
tensioners will not be adjusted out, allowing for as much future
tightening as possible.

NOTE: Please allow 1" of droop (slack) for every 10' of chain.

SAFETY EDGE INSTALLATION

See safety page in front of manual

It is highly recommended that a pressure sensing edge (safety
edge) be installed at the leading edge and at all hazard and pinch
points of the gate. Choose an edge that will cover the full height
of the gate. It should be installed securely and any coil cord used
to send the signal back to the operator should be cut so that
excess cord be eliminated to prevent it from getting tangled in the
gate or mechanism. Edges that are to REVERSE and re-open a
closing gate connect to J5 #5 and #9 - #12. Edges that are to
STOP the gate that is opening or closing will connect to the 2
pins on the JP2 block near the center of the board.

CONDUITS

Use the open area in base of the unit to position your conduits.
(12.0" wide by 10.75" deep). Use 1/2 or 3/4 inch UL listed
conduits. Please observe any requirements in your local electrical
code.

NOTE: Do not attempt to hook up the ac power if wires are LIVE
or HOT. Be sure power is off.

INPUT COMMANDS CONNECTIONS

(Use common and normally open contacts from devices
connected to these inputs)

JP2 Input

This input will stop the gate and activate the siren.
This input is for connection to wired contact edge sensors at

pinch points and photo beams that run along either side the gate
panel when in open position (if dead panel is present one beam
should run along it).

Input Commands - J5 Connector Block at top of Control Board

Control wire connections at low voltage terminal strip will be at
the top of the electronic 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. All external control
devices must have normally open dry contacts. DO NOT

CONNECT ANY DEVICE WHICH WOULD DELIVER ANY VOLTAGE
OF ANY KIND TO THESE TERMINALS.

Terminals 9, 10, 11, 12 are the commons (0 Vdc) used to activate
the following inputs.

Terminals 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.

Terminal 4, Auxiliary Open - This is the wired line of sight,

intended manual reset input. Use this input to reset the unit
after a 2nd sequential obstruction is sensed and gate is locked
with siren running. This input normally functions as listed
below.

Acts same as 1, 2, 3 above with S2-6 off. With S2-6 ON this

will operate as a pulse-open, pulse-close.

NOTE: Pulse to close will only work when gate is at full open

position.

SIREN will run for 5 minutes after 2nd sequential obstruction,

then turns itself off, however operator will require a reset signal
to J5 #4 to re-activate gate. In addition, cycling the ac power
will also reset unit.

Terminal 5, Safety - Safety edge(s) and safety loop input. This

function will make the gate reverse and go back to the open
position if it was closing. Input is for all NORMALLY OPEN
contact safety devices. This input is disabled when gate is in the
full closed position. Use with vehicle loops, photo beams and
sensors.

Terminal 6, Close - ANTI-TAIL GATE close input. When using a

vehicle detector, you must use the presence contacts (N.O. and
C.) This input will QUICK 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 gate 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 tail-gater 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.

Terminal 7, Back-Away (For Barrier Arm Gate Only) - This input

is recommended for use with our Mega Arm barrier gates. For
your Mega Slide X, please use terminals 1, 2 or 3 for your free
exit loop input.

Terminal 8, Shadow Loop - This input operates as a hold open

only when gate is a full open position.

Terminals 9, 10, 11, 12 Common - These inputs used for

common (0 Vdc) to above listed functions.

NOTE: J5 inputs 1-8 are tied to LED indicators to assist in trouble

shooting.

These terminals will provide battery backed power to 24 Vdc
devices and are located at the bottom of the electronic control
board at J4 terminals 1 and 2. Terminal 1 is 24 Vdc (+) and
number 2 is 0 Vdc (-). Peripheral CLASS 2 low voltage devices
that require 24 Vdc power maybe connected here (500 ma.
maximum). EXAMPLE: Vehicle detector, radio receiver.

RELAY OUTPUT K1: For class 1 and 2 installations, do not
disconnect siren. S1-6 must be on and S1-8 must be off.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

HOOKING UP BATTERY LEADS: Always hookup and turn on ac
power before installing batteries. After turning on ac power,

install two NEW, fully charged 12 volt dc batteries on shelf next to
motor. Connect red lead from operator to the positive (RED +)
terminal of one battery and black lead from the operator to the
(BLACK-) terminal of the OTHER battery. Place a jumper between
the remaining terminals of each battery if one is not already in
place (Figure 1).

MASTER/SECOND WIRING

Master/second wire hook up:

1. In a master/second configuration, either unit can be the
master. Choose one unit to be the master and then direct all
control wiring to it (also install vehicle detectors and radio
receivers this unit)

2. At the MASTER, any input (at J5) with control (detectors,
receivers, keypads, timers, etc.) wires 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
PCB common to PCB common (Ex: master gate J5 terminal
#12 to second gate J5 terminal #12)

EXAMPLE: If only open and close are used at master then three

wires will run between gates (Figure 2). More may be needed

for additional functions to be used.

3. If it is required that if one gate senses an obstruction, the other
reverses also, then 3 additional wires must be run between the
master J3 and second J3 (Figure 3). These connections are for
transmitting IRD (obstruction signals) between both units. This
will allow the master 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.

FAST RUN TIMER - SWITCH PACK S1 (1-5)

To change the FAST SPEED run timer, set the dip switches to add
up to the number of feet, minus one foot, for the total feet of
travel across roadway.

Example: If road is 15' wide, then set dip switches to add up to
14 seconds (dips 2, 3, 4 are on) which is 2 seconds + 4 seconds
+ 8 seconds = 14 seconds. You must set FULL SPEED to end
before the end of travel and allow the gate to go to the slow
speed before stopping.

Verify that the FAST SPEED run timer setting slowed down the
gate approximately 1' from the end of travel. If it does not, adjust
the dip switches appropriately.

MODE SELECTIONS - SWITCH PACK S1 (6-8)

SWITCH 6: FAIL SECURE MODE, (VER 6.351 or higher) with ac

power off, in continuous battery back up mode (S2 #8 off) gate
will not auto open if batteries get low. If batteries are low, gate
will stay open after an open command is given.

SWITCH 7: No longer used as of August 16, 2003. To be

redefined.

SWITCH 8: Not used at this time (VER 6.34 or higher only).

Default is S2-3 “on” to provide a 4 second delay if activated.

MODE SELECTIONS - SWITCH PACK S2 (6-8)

SWITCH 6: Sets auxiliary open input terminal #4 at J5 to be

pulse open--pulse close (example: residential applications).

SWITCH 7 - AUTO CLOSE TIMER: Default is OFF. When on,

use S2 1-5 to set close time delay.

When close timer is selected, YOU must install vehicle and

pedestrian detection devices. It is strongly recommended that
photoelectric beams (eyes) be installed on BOTH sides of the
slide gate to reduce the possibility of injury to persons that may
attempt to walk through gate opening. Along with the beams, it
is strongly recommended that pressure sensing edges be
installed on the leading edge of the gate panel, and any area
that presents a PINCH POINT or risk of ENTRAPMENT.

SWITCH 8 - AUTO OPEN ON AC POWER FAILURE: When

switch number 8 is in the ON position, the operator will
automatically open the gate approximately 15 seconds after the
loss of power. Once ac power is restored, the operator will
resume normal operation.

RIGHT OR LEFT HAND OPERATION

UNIT SHIPS AS RIGHT-HAND

Method 1: No longer used as of August 16, 2003. The S1-7

switch will be redefined.

Method 2: Reverse the BLUE and ORANGE wire from the

motor and at J4 from the limit switches. With this method
DO NOT switch S1-7 to the ON position – leave in OFF position.

RIGHT HAND OPERATION the motor (J4) and limit switch (J2)
wires will be BLUE then ORANGE

NOTE: Right hand operation is the default setting from the
factory.

LEFT HAND OPERATION the motor (J4) and limit wires (at J2)
will be ORANGE then BLUE.

As a RIGHT HAND OPERATOR the LIMIT SWITCH closest to the
gear box is the CLOSE LIMIT.

As a LEFT HAND OPERATOR the LIMIT SWITCH closest to the
gear box is the OPEN LIMIT.

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS

Disconnect power from operator. In order to adjust limit nuts, the
detent plate must be pushed down to allow free movement.
Spinning the nut closer to the switch will cause the gate to stop
sooner when approaching that switch. Spinning it away will delay
the nut in reaching that switch. With power disconnected,
(batteries and ac power) gate can be pushed open and closed to
assist in limit switch adjustments. After initial settings connect
power then run gate open and close to fine tune settings.

Remember to set the fast run timer (page 13) to allow gate to run
at the fast speed for as much of the gate travel as possible, but
still ensuring that it will slow down just before reaching the
closed position.

INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD)

The reverse device is an internal circuit that continuously
monitors the motor’s current for increased draw. This operator
has been shipped with the IRD1 set to a typical setting that will
likely move the gate from limit to limit. If necessary, the
sensitivity of this device can be adjusted by turning the IRD1 to
the right (CW, more sensitive) or left (CCW, less sensitive) in
small increments.

ADJUSTMENT

While running the gate open and closed, verify that the gate
travels as expected. Verify that the operator reverses off a rigid
obstruction located 1' from both the open and close limit. If the
operator does not reverse, adjust the IRD1 CW (more sensitive)
in small, 1 hour increments until the gate reverses off the 1'
obstruction. The gate should continue to travel from the open and
closed limits as expected.

If the gate did not complete the full open and closed travel, the
IRD1 setting should be incremented CCW (less sensitive) in
small, 1 hour increments until the gate travels the full distance.
Verify that the operator reverses off a rigid obstruction located 1'
from both the open and closed limit.

Seasonal ambient temperature changes may make IRD1
adjustments necessary. If during the setup, a double entrapment
condition occurs, refer to the troubleshooting section to rest the
gate.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• After ANY adjustments, verify that the operator reverses off a
rigid obstruction located 1' from both the open and close
limits.

• Test instant reverse device (IRD) monthly.

• Adjustment MUST be made by qualified service personnel.

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.) 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 25.5 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).

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire, BEFORE proceeding

• Disconnect ac power at the fuse box.

• Disconnect dc power at the battery connection.
