High Traffic Commercial Swing Gate Operator

UL LISTINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE GATE OPERATOR

A) Install the gate operator only when:

1) The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage
Class of the gate.

2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or
screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet
(1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.15 mm)
diameter sphere from passing through the openings
a n y w h e re in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence that the gate covers in the open position.

3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and

4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

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) ­F) C o n t rols must be far enough from the gate so that the user is

p revented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the
c o n t rols. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2
sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices
must be located in the line of sight of the gate outdoor or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

G) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the

area of the gate.

UL LISTINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

H) 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 still
moving, and

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.

I) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor:

1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading
edge, trailing edge and postmounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom
edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point
of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

4) 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.

5) A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio
f requency (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.

UL LISTINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate while the
gate is in operation. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF
A MOVING GATE.

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

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving. Make
sure the power for the gate operator is off.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the manual. Have a
qualified service person make repairs to the gate or gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate
entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

operator – Class II – A vehicular gate opera-

tor (or system) intended for use in a commer­cial location or building such as a multi- family
housing unit (five or more single family units)

Once the gate arm measurements are calculated, weld the bracket on the gate. Weld the longer
arm first, then weld the shorter arm. Make sure around the tube is welded completely.

ADJUSTMENT OF OUTPUT SHAFT

1. Make sure the pin fits in the notch
as shown above.

3. Place the red handle back in its
original position.

2. Place the red handle in 90° position.
By tightening the nut you will be able

to adjust the clutch.

4. Pull the short arm away from the gate.
Make sure slipping does not occur, if it

does, then repeat step no. 2 & 3.

ADJUSTING GATE TRAVELING DIST A N C E

A. Release the red handle and open the gate to a distance desired. Loosen the bolt (as shown in picture
“A”). Turn plastic part until the half moon shape hits the limit switch. For closing cycle, do the same.

B. For a more precise adjustment, you may use the set screw (picture “B”).

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

The adjustment is for a gate that
is over 300 pounds and 12 feet
long or longer. While the gate is
closing, instantly an “open”
command is given as shown
above; the clutch may slip a bit,
max. of 1/4 to 3/4 of a turn

(slippage depends on the weight

of the gate). If it does not slip,
then readjust the clutch.

Installers are required to adhere to this procedure: The UL required Warning Signs must
be installed in plain view and on both sides of each commercial gate installed. Each sign is
made with fastening holes in each corner and should be permanently secured in a suitable
manner. Also the warning sticker should be placed on the operator so it is clearly visible.

T W O - WA Y ADJUSTABLE REVERSING SENSOR

CAUTION:

Adjustment should be

performed by qualified

service personnel only

The level of sensitivity has to do with the weight of the
gate and the condition of installation.
Too sensitive = if the gate stops or reverses by itself.
Not sensitive enough = if the gate hits an object and
does not stop or reverse.
CAUTION: If the power supply to the gate operator is

less than 99 volts, adjust the alarm by turning the alarm
adjustment clockwise enough to actuate the alarm
when obstructed but not sensitive enough for false
triggering to occur.

up the grooves with a proper sealer.

The reason for an exit loop is so the gate will open automatically when a car is exiting.

AUDIO ALARM

When one of the following events happen twice consecutively, an alarm will sound.

1. The gate is too heavy or the arm is installed wrong (Refer to page 9).

2. The gate hits the driveway, curb or other,
and gets stuck in an awkward position.

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

4. An object is on the gate frame while
the gate is moving.

5. The gate is moving and an object
pushes the gate.

Refer to troubleshooting table.

been triggered.

OPTION A:

In case of power failure the gate opens
automatically one time and stays open.
when power is restored the operator
re t u rns to normal condition.

OPTION B:

In case of power failure the gate will not
open automatically until activated by a
key switch or push button.

FOR MORE DETAILS

ASK YOUR LOCAL DEALER

FOR USE WITH OPTIONAL BOARD

Otherwise the alarm
will sound for 5 min­utes and reset itself.

USE THIS BUTTON:

To stop movement of gate in case of potential entrapment
To reset the audio alarm (check for obstructions)
To stop gate operator while traveling

When using the optional board, use the STOP input to connect the stop button.

Install the stop
button in a secure
accessible place.

Cut off jumper wire #W4.
