UL325 MODEL CLASSIFICATIONS
The SW470 and SW490 are intended for use with vehicular swing gates. The opener can be used in
Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV applications.
CLASS I – RESIDENTIAL VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR
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.
CLASS II – COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a
multi-family housing unit (five or more single family units) hotel, garage, retail store or other building
servicing the general public.
CLASS III – INDUSTRIAL/LIMITED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a industrial location or building such as a
factory or loading dock area or other location not intended to service the general public.
CLASS IV – RESTRICTED ACCESS VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR
A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building such
as an airport security area or other restricted access locations not servicing the general public, in which
unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.
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.
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.
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:
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).

The Universal Receiver can be used with up to 15 315 MHz rolling
code remote controls or PINs in HIGH security mode. Alternately,
it can be used with up to 31 of any type 315 MHz remote control
in NORMAL security mode, including any combination of rolling
code, billion code, or dip switch remotes.
The jumper must be set at the HIGH position for the receiver to
operate in HIGH security mode. It must be set at NORMAL
position to operate at the NORMAL mode (Figure 1).
When changing from NORMAL to HIGH security mode, any
previous remote control codes must be erased. Repeat Steps 2
and 3 in the Programming Section below to reprogram the
receiver for each remote control in use.
The receiver is factory set at HIGH.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, the use of
CONSTANT OPERATION on residential openers is
PROHIBITED.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing the
receiver.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
moving gate or garage door:
• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children.
NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote
control transmitters.
• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is
properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door
travel.
• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely
closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate
or door.
NOTICE: To comply with FCC and or Industry Canada (IC) rules, adjustment or modifications of

RPM SENSOR (HALL EFFECT) ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Normally the RPM sensor (hall effect) does not need
adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping
vibration or rough handling.
These operators use an internal entrapment protector system.
This system consists of the control board, magnet, and RPM
sensor. It may become necessary to adjust the sensor for correct
alignment. To do so, please perform the following steps:
1. Loosen the two screws holding the hall bracket to the frame.
2. Adjust the bracket so that the sensor is:
a. Parallel with the pulley.
b. .020" (.051 cm) away from the pulley's magnet. Use a
feeler gauge to measure the distance.
3. Tighten screws to secure assembly.
4. Manually rotate pulley to ensure that each magnet clears the
sensor board.
If a magnet does not clear the board, re-adjust the RPM

SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS)
The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the
customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to
areas such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated
communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is
controlled by two gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate
such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure
or ornamental gate such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate
operator. The design of this gate system balances the demands of
speed during high traffic periods with security during low traffic
periods. Barrier gates typically have the fastest open times of the
many gate operator types and the slide or swing gates allow you
to effectively seal off the perimeter of the complex you are
planning to secure.
NOTE: Connect all entry devices to the slide or swing gate. If
using a device, such as a 7-day timer, to latch the slide or swing
gate open during high traffic times, connect the device’s N/O relay
output to the control board’s Interrupt Loop input. Once the
device activates the Interrupt Loop input, the next vehicle to
access the SAMS system will lock the gate in the open position
until the device deactivates. When the device deactivates, the
timer to close will automatically close and secure the gate.
SAMS OPERATION
1. When an authorized vehicle accesses the gate system, the SAM
system responds by first opening the gate farthest from the
vehicle, the swing or slide gate.
2. Once the swing or slide gate is open, the barrier gate begins its
open cycle.

3. Once the barrier is open the vehicle may pass through the SAM
system. At this point you have two options in how you would
like to initiate the SAM systems closure. You may chose to:
a. Use a timer to close system to automatically close the
barrier gate after a preset amount of time or
b. Use a loop system to close the barrier gate after the vehicle
has passed through the SAM system.
4. Once the barrier gate is closed the slide or swing gate will
activate its internal timer to close and begin closing.
5. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system before
the slide or swing begins to close the barrier will open and
allow the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
6. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system during
the slide or swing gates closing cycle the SAM system will
reopen the slide or swing gate. Once the slide or swing gate
reaches the open position the barrier will then open to allow
the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
7. If no other authorized vehicles access the SAM system the
swing or slide gate will close followed by the barrier.
SAMS WIRING
1. Install conduit between the BG770 and the SW420 for SAMS
control wiring.
2. Run a 4-conductor cable in the conduit between the BG770
SW420.
3. Locate the SAMS relay terminals (J5) on the control board in
the SW420 and locate the auxiliary limit switch in the BG770.
4. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control
board to terminal 1 on the BG770 terminal strip.
5. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control
board to terminal 3 on the BG770 barrier gates terminal strip.
6. Attach a wire from terminal J1-5 on the control board to the
common (COM) on the auxiliary limit switch in the barrier gate.
7. Attach a wire from terminal J1-8 on the control board to the
normally open (NO) on the auxiliary limit switch.
8. Test for correct functionality of the SAM system.

CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES
MOTOR LEARN FUNCTION (FORCE PROFILE)
This function is preprogrammed at factory. If either board or
motor is replaced, the controller will need to be programmed to
“LEARN” the specific motor RPM profile of your operator. Switch
“S3” is provided for this. This is important for accurate force
control. Failure to do so may result in improper and unsafe
operation.
To learn the motor:
NOTE: Motor Learn must be performed in stand alone mode.
1. The operator must remain attached to the gate throughout the
entire process.
2. Press the motor learn button. The yellow LED should start to
flash rapidly.
3. Install a jumper on either the hard open or the hard close input
terminals. The motor will run for a few seconds and then stop.
If the LED goes out the motor is learned. If the unit activates a
limit before completing the learn or some other error occurs,
the LED will go back to on continuously. If this happens, try
learning while running in the opposite direction.
NOTE: It is important that the jumper is in constant contact
while the gate is moving in learn mode.
FORCE CONTROL
Set the force control pot such that the unit will complete a full
cycle of gate travel but can be reversed off an obstruction without
applying an unreasonable amount of force. On most operators
this will be around the middle of the range.

DIAGNOSTICS (LEDS AND CODES)
There are three diagnostic LEDs. Two red LEDs (OLS, CLS) are
indicators for the open and close limits. The LEDs are illuminated
when the limit switch contacts are closed.
The third amber LED (DIAG) is used to blink out diagnostic
codes. The number is the count of the number of times the LED
is on in an 8 second period. The LED is on for approximately 1/2
second and repeats every second until the number is reached.
There will be a pause following each pulse cycle (1-6 pulses) to
differentiate between the different diagnostic codes.

MASTER/SECOND SYSTEMS
Dual Gate Communications
The control board is capable of running the operator in a master
or second mode depending on (S4) switch setting.
Before initiating any command the master unit queries for the
presence of a “second unit” for a time period of one second. If
the master gets no response the operator will operate in a stand
alone mode. NOTE: For single unit applications, a jumper must be
placed between pins 1 and 2 of the J4 connector. In this mode no
further communications will take place during travel. If the master
detects the presence of a second unit the master will continue to
query the second unit during travel. The second unit will send a
response to the master for every query. The second operator will
stop if there is a period of one second or more of no
communications.
EDGE/PHOTO CLOSE
This switch (S2-4) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate
closing protection input.
Close Photo Eye (Reverse): When the controller is
configured for photo eyes, the input functions to reverse the
gate to the open limit when activated during the close cycle.
NOTE: Timer-to-Close will reset if enabled.
Close Edge: When the controller is configured for safety
edges, the input functions to reverse the gate to the open
limit when activated during the close cycle. The entrapment
is not cleared at the limit and the timer to close will be
disabled. The Timer-to-Close may be enabled by activating
the interrupt loop, soft open or hard open input.
EDGE CLOSEPHOTO CLOSE
(Factory Default)
When two operators are connected in dual gate configuration
accessories may be connected to either the master or second.
NOTE: Do not run Master/Second communication wiring in the
same conduit as the power and control wiring. The Second unit
will require a normally close stop circuit for proper system
operation. After Master/Second wiring has been completed and
the S4 switch programmed, both units must have their power
cycled to initiate proper Master/Second communication. The
motor learn function must be completed in stand alone mode
prior to Master/Second wiring.
