ROLE OF SPECIFIERS AND DESIGNERS
Specifiers and designers should design an automatic vehicular gate system to:
• Utilize an operator suited for gate system type, size, frequency of use, location and
user population.
• Separate pedestrian access from vehicle access.
• Reduce or eliminate pinch points.
• Reduce risk of entrapment injuries by minimizing all gaps in the gate and
enclosing the area of the travel of the gate.
• Secure controls from unauthorized use.
• Locate all controls out of reach from the gate.
• Allow the user full view of the gate when operating.
• Consider special populations, such as children or the elderly.
• Be consistent with DASMA’s Automatic Gate Opener System Safety Guide.
ROLE OF DEALERS, INSTALLERS AND
TRAINED GATE SYSTEM TECHNICIANS
Installers, during the course of the installation proceedings for each job, should:
• Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the application.
• Confirm that the gate is designed and built according to current published industry
standards.
• Confirm that all appropriate features and accessory devices are being
incorporated, including both primary and secondary entrapment protection
devices.
• Make sure that the gate works freely before installing the operator.
• Repair or service worn or damaged gate hardware before installing the operator.
• Install the gate operator according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
• Adjust the operator clutch or load-sensing device to the minimum force setting
that allows reliable gate operation.
• Install operator inside fence line (DO NOT install operator on public side of fence
line).
• Install a proper electrical ground to a gate operator.
• Install keypad controls where users cannot touch, or reach through gate while
operating controls.
• Install controls where user has full view of gate operation.
• Test all features for proper functions before placing the automatic vehicular gate
into service.
• Demonstrate the basic functions and safety features of the gate system to
owners/end users/general contractors, including how to turn off power and how to
operate the manual disconnect feature.
• Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and maintenance
manual with end user.
• Explain to the owners the importance of a service contract that includes a routine
re-testing of the entire system including the entrapment protection devices, and
explain the need for the owners to insure that this testing is performed routinely.
• Offer the owner/end user a maintenance contract, or contact them regularly to
offer maintenance.
2
Page 5
ROLE OF END USERS/HOME OWNER
End users should be made aware that they must:
• Contact a trained gate systems technician to maintain and repair the gate system
(End users should never attempt to repair the gate)
• Retain and utilize the installation and maintenance manual and safety instructions.
• Routinely check of all gate operator functions and gate movement.
• Discontinue use if safety systems operate improperly, the gate is damaged, or the
gate is difficult to move.
• Never overtighten the operator clutch of load sensing device to compensate for a
damaged or stiff operating gate.
• Keep all obstructions clear of the vicinity of the path of the gate system.
• Actively discourage pedestrian use of the vehicular gate operating system.
• Prevent anyone from playing near any part of the gate system.
• Never allow anyone to climb under, over or through a gate or the adjacent fence
area.
• Never allow children to operate gate
• Keep portable controls out of reach of children.
• Never allow anyone to install an operating control within reach of the gate.
• Always be certain that the gate area is clear of pedestrians before operating the
gate.
SWING GATE SYSTEMS
• Entrapment Zone Hazard - Body parts may become entrapped between a gate and a sta-
tionary object when the gate begins to move, which can result in serious injury or death.
Pedestrians must stay clear of the gate path, and any area where gate motion is close to
stationary objects.
• Pinch Points Hazard - The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a
scissoring effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the
opening mechanism at all times, particularly when gate is opening.

Page 6
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Instructions regarding
Robo Swing Installation.
A) Install the gate operator only when all exposed pinch points are eliminated
or guarded.
B) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
C) 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.
D) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions
prior to the installation of the gate operator.
E) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is
prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the
controls.

Page 7
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
F) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam:
1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for
each type of application.
2) 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.
3) 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.
G) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:
1) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator
is not subjected to mechanical damage.
2) 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.
3) 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.

An earth ground rod must be installed to protect this operator
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static discharge or a near
lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be directed towards the
Chamberlain Elite gate operator. Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a direct
lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the gate operator in most cases.
Chamberlain Elite Access Systems is not responsible for improper installation or failure to
comply with all necessary local building codes.
8 ft
EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from the Chamberlain Elite gate operator. Use the
proper type earth ground rod for your local area.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If
you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire
length.
Before digging more than 18" deep, contact local underground utility locating companies.
Avoid damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines.

“OPTIONAL” SOLAR PANEL
If you use Chamberlain Elite's optional solar panel (Part # Solar 3). Connect the two wires
from the solar panel to the power input connection on the surge suppressor (Polarity does
not matter). Sunlight will energize the batteries through the solar panel. This solar panel
will charge up to 1000 Mamp/Hr in optimum conditions & 300 Mamp/Hr in light overcast
conditions. For further details about Chamberlain Elite's solar panel, consult the “Solar 3”
Installation sheet that is included with the solar panel.
Energizing this operator with solar power only needs the radio receiver to operate the gate.
The only recommended external devices other than radio receivers are dry-contact
command devices which do not consume any current like key switches. Using other
devices that consume high current such as telephone access, magnetic locks or loop
detectors will cause excess drainage of the battery and eventually completely drain the
battery.
Chamberlain Elite recommends using a
larger battery (12 Vdc, 30 AHr)
(Part # A 12330) in this operator when
using the optional solar panel.
Polarity Does
Not Matter
Do Not use solar panel and plug-in
transformer at the same time.

Loop Installation “Saw Cut” Type
LOOP INSTALLATION AND NUMBER OF WIRE TURNS
Mark the loop layout on the pavement. Remove sharp inside corners that can damage the loop wire
insulation.
Set the saw to cut to a depth (typically 2" to 2.5") that insures a minimum of 1" from the top of the wire to
pavement surface. The saw cut width should be larger than the wire diameter to avoid damage to the wire
insulation when placed in the saw slot. Cut the loop and feeder slots. Remove all debris from the slot with
compressed air. Check that the bottom of the slot is even.
It is highly recommended that a continuous length of wire be used to form the loop and feeder to the
detector. It is also highly recommend using 12-18 AWG cross-link polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for the
loop wire. Use heavier wire gauge for a more durable loop area. Use a wood stick or roller to insert the wire
to the bottom of the saw cut (Do not use sharp objects). Wrap the wire in the loop saw cut until the desired
number of turns is reached. Each turn of wire must lay flat on top of the previous turn.
The wire must be twisted together a minimum of 6 twists per foot from the end of the saw cut to the
detector.
The wire must be held firmly in the slot with 1" pieces of backer rod every 1 to 2 feet. This prevents the wire
from floating when the loop sealant is applied.
Apply the sealant. The sealant selected should have good adhering properties with similar expansion and
contraction characteristics to that of the pavement material.
