THE LAST 5 TO 10 DEGREES OF PISTON TRAVEL ALLOWING THE PISTON TO REACH END
OF STROKE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND PREVENT INTERNAL DAMAGES.

OPERATOR BODY FABRICATED IN ANODIZED ALUMINUM
FRONT AND REAR FLANGES ARE CAST ALUMINUM
ALL INTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE CAST AND MACHINED
INTERNAL COMPONENTS BATHED IN OIL SO VIRTUALLY NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. VERIFY THE GATE POST IS PLUM AND GATE LEAF SWINGS FREELY.

2. PERFORM ANY REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BEFORE CONTINUING.

3. VERIFY THE COMMERCIAL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE ISOLATED AND RATED FOR

THE SPECIFIC LOAD. VISUALLY ENSURE THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE IN THE “OFF”
POSITION AND MARK THE BREAKER USED.

4. IF ANY PRE-CONSTRUCTION WIRING HAS BEEN INSTALLED, VISUALLY INSPECT AND

CONFIRM PROPER SIZING AND COMPLIANCE TO CODE.

5. AUTOMATIC VEHICULAR GATES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC,

HOWEVER, THEY CAN CREATE HAZARDS TO UNSUSPECTING PEDESTRIANS AND
DOMESTIC ANIMALS. ANY GATE, CONSTRUCTED WITH REACHABLE PINCH POINTS, OR
HAS A SURFACE AREA THAT ALLOWS ARMS OR LEGS TO PASS THROUGH, IS A
POTENTIAL HAZARD. RECOMMEND AND PROVIDE SAFE GUARDS AGAINST THESE
HAZARDS

6. REMOVE THE “END USER SAFETY ADVISORY HANDOUT” FROM THIS MANUAL. REQUEST

THE END USER REVIEW THE MATERIAL AND SIGN IT. COLLECT THE HANDOUT WHEN
THE JOB IS COMPLETE.

.

DURING INSTALLATION

1. LOCATE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE GATE SO THE END USER

CAN OBSERVE, BUT NOT TOUCH, THE GATE WHILE OPERATING THE CONTROLS.

2. WHEN CONNECTING THE WIRING FROM THE COMMERCIAL POWER SOURCE TO THE

CONTROL PANEL, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROVIDED A PROPER EARTH GROUND. IF
USING A METAL ENCLOSURE, CONNECT THE GROUND TO THE ENCLOSURE BEFORE
CONNECTING TO THE GATE OPERATORS. NO GROUND IS TO CONNECTING TO THE GATE
OPERATORS. NO GROUND IS TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE MICROPROCESSOR
CONTROL.

3. OBSERVE ALL WIRING REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL

CODE AND/OR THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.

4. MOUNT HE LINEAR ACTUATOR AS CLOSE TO THE CENTER OF THE GATE LEAF AS

POSSIBLE. THIS WILL HELP BALANCE THE WHIPPING MOTION OF THE GATE WHEN THE
OPERATOR REACHES END OF THE PISTON STROKE.

5. ISOLATE THE LINEAR ACTUATOR WHEN WELDING TO PREVENT ANY CURRENT FROM

PASSING THROUGH THE OPERATOR AND DAMAGING THE MOTOR OR OTHER
COMPONENTS.

INSTALLATION COMPLETION

1. INSTALL PLACARDS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND TEST.

2. “REMOVE” ALL DEBRIS AND OBSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TRAVEL PATH OF THE GATE

LEAF(S).

3. TURN ON AND LABEL THE COMMERCIAL POWER CIRCUIT BREAKER AND REMOVE THE

“USED” TAG YOU INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT.

4. USING THE MANUAL BYPASS, POSITION THE GATE LEAF AT 45 DEGREES. PRESS THE

TEST BUTTON ON THE G2M CONTROL BOARD. THE FIRST SIGNAL WILL ALWAYS BE TO
OPEN. IF THE OPERATOR RUNS TO THE CLOSED POSITION, TURN OFF THE COMMERCIAL
POWER AND REVERSE THE MOTOR CONNECTIONS ON PINS 1 AND 3.

5. OPERATE THE ACTUATOR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL YOU CAN DETECT A RISE IN THE

FLUID TEMPERATURE. PLACING YOUR HAND ON THE TOP OF THE OPERATOR AT THE
REAR CAN DO THIS.

6. PURGE AND ADJUST THE OPERATOR AS DESCRIBED IN THE PURGING AND ADJUSTMENT

SECTION.

7. INSTRUCT THE END USER HOW TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE GATE IN THE EVENT OF A

POWER FAILURE.

8. INSTRUCT THE END USER HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE THE GATE AUTOMATION AND

SAFETY FEATURES THEREOF.

9. COLLECT THE “SIGNED” END USER SAFETY HAND OUT. BY THEIR SIGNATURE, THE END

USER ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES OF
OWNING, OPERATING, AND MAINTAINING A VEHICULAR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATING
SYSTEM.

INSTALLING THE OPERATOR

! ADVISORIES!

A. THIS LINEAR ACTUATOR MUST ME MOUNTED SO THE PISTON FULLY EXTENDS

AND FULLY RETRACTS. WHEN FULLY RETRACTED THERE SHOULD BE 1/8 INCH
PISTON LEFT OUT OF THE FRONT.

B. THIS LINEAR ACTUATOR HAS AN OFFSET BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR

MOUNTING BRACKET. THE FRONT BRACKET IS ABOUT 5/8 OF AN INCH LOWER
THAN THE FRONT BRACKET; REVIEW THE BRACKET ALIGNMENT DETAIL FOR
THE OFFSET DIMENSION. THE FRONT BRACKET HAS THE TALLER SHOULDER.

1. SCRIBE A LINE FROM THE HORIZONTAL SUPPORT OR DESIRED HEIGHT FOR THE

OPERATOR ON THE GATE LEAF ONTO THE GATE POST.

2. MEASURE FOR THE OFFSET DESCRIBED IN THE ADVISORY #B AND SCRIBE

ANOTHER LINE.

3. CUT THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIMENSIONS

SPECIFIED ON THE MOUNTING GEOMETRY DETAIL.

4. WELD THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE GATE POST.

5. DETERMINE THE “C” DIMENSION AND CUT THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET TO

THE PROPER LENGTH.

6. EXTEND THE PISTON TO FULLY EXTENDED POSITION FOR INWARD SWING

GATES. THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY TEMPORARILY CONNECTING THE CONTROL
PANEL TO THE OPERATOR AND USING THE MOTOR TO EXTEND THE PISTON,
PRODUCING 9 7/8” OF PISTON. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT WITH THE “800A/900A”
THAT THE PISTON “BOTTOMS OUT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS”.

7. SCREW THE “I” BOLT INTO THE END OF THE PISTON 1/2 TO 3/4 OF THE LENGTH OF

THE THREADS. ATTACH THE FRONT BRACKET TO THE OPERATOR.

8. ATTACH THE OPERATOR TO THE REAR MOUNTING BRACKET.

9. WITH THE GATE IN THE FULL CLOSED POSITION, LEVEL THE OPERATOR AND

SCRIBE THE LOCATION FOR THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET.

10. REMOVE THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET FROM THE FRONT OF THE GATE

OPERATOR AND WELD IT TO THE GATE LEAF AT THE SCRIBED LOCATION.

11. ATTACH THE OPERATOR TO THE FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET.

12. CONNECT THE CORD PER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DETAILS.

NOTE: IT IS HELPFUL TO INSTALL A SINGLE GANG WEATHER PROOF BELL BOX
ON THE GATE POST ACROSS FROM THE OPERATOR. THEN WIRE FROM THE
CONTROL BOX CAN BE PULLED TO THIS POINT AND CONNECTED TO THE S.O.
CORD INSIDE THE BELL BOX.

PURGING THE OPERATOR

SOMETIMES DURING SHIPPING, THE “800A/900A” SERIES OPERATOR GETS
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND REQUIRES THE VALVE SYSTEM TO BE PURGED
AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE INSTALLATION. THIS CAN BE NOTICED IF
THE OPERATOR IS JERKING OR RUNS UNEVEN.

TIGHTEN THE BYPASS VALVE WITH THE ALLEN WRENCH AND GIVE THE
OPERATOR A SIGNAL TO RUN. WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, OPEN AND
CLOSE THE BYPASS VALVE PAUSING BETWEEN OPEN AND CLOSE. DO THIS 10 TO
12 TIMES. THEN REMOVE THE FILL CAP TO EXPEL ANY AIR IN THE OPERATOR.
REPLACE THE OIL FILLER CAP SCREW AND TIGHTEN ONLY SNUG.

ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR

THE PRESSURES ON THE OPERATOR ARE PRESET AT BYAN SYSTEMS PRIOR
TO SHIPMENT. IF THE PRESSURES DO NEED TO BE ADJUSTED, WHETHER
HIGHER OR LOWER, YOU MUST ADJUST BOTH DIRECTIONS THE SAME
NUMBER OF TURNS (i.e. 1/4 TURN, 1/2 TURN ETC.)

THE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS ARE FOUND UNDER THE LOCKING CAP ON
THE TOP OF THE OPERATOR. LOOKING FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT OF THE
OPERATOR, THE LEFT VALVE IS FOR RETRACTING PRESSURE AND THE RIGHT
VALVE IS FOR EXTENDING PRESSURE. WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING DECREASE
THE PRESSURES EQUALLY UNTIL THE OPERATOR STOPS MOVING IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS. BEGIN INCREASING PRESSURE ON BOTH VALVES WITH THE
MOTOR RUNNING. ADJUST THE PRESSURE TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO
PHYSICALLY STOP THE GATE. AT THIS POINT, EITHER INCREASE THE
RETRACTING PRESSURE  TURN OR DECREASE THE EXTENDING PRESSURE 
TURN. RETRACTING HAS TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER.

HYDRAULIC FLUID

BYAN SYSTEMS OPERATORS US A “SHELL OIL PRODUCTS” TELLUS T-15, THIS
FLUID HAS A RELATIVELY LOW VISCOSITY SO IT WILL START TO FLOW QUICKLY
ON COLD DAYS. WHEN THE FLUID RISES TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THERE
IS NO RUSH OF THIN FLUID CAUSING POOR HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE, OR
WORSE YET, EXCESSIVE PUMP WEAR, FAILURE AND EXPENSIVE DOWNTIME.

TELLUS FLUIDS MINIMIZE THE EFFECT TEMPERATURE HAS ON VISCOSITY, AND
RESISTS THE SHEARING ACTION OF HIGH SPEED PUMPS BY MAINTAINING THEIR
STABLE VISCOSITY LONGER.

THERE IS A ZINC TYPE ADDITIVE IN THE FLUID TO HELP IMPEDE WEAR AND
PREMATURE REPLACEMENT. IT HELPS PREVENT CORROSION TO METALS AND IS
DESIGNED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH HOSES, SEALS AND OTHER ELASTOMER
PRODUCTS.

TELLUS T-15 READILY SEPARATES AIR AND WATER TO PREVENT FOAMING,
KEEPING THE FLUID FIT AND DIELECTRIC STRENGTH HIGH.

WHERE TO BUY SHELL TELLUS FLUIDS

AT YOUR NEAREST SHELL DISTRIBUTOR, BYAN SYSTEMS DISTRIBUTOR, OR AT
BYAN SYSTEMS WAREHOUSE.

FLUID AND YOUR OPERATOR

THE OPERATOR HOLDS APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF FLUID. THE PROPER
LEVEL CAN BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE OIL FILLER TUBE, LOCATED ON THE
TOP OF THE REAR FLANGE OF THE OPERATOR, WITH THE PISTON IN THE
RETRACTION POSITION, THE FLUID SHOULD BE VISIBLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
TUBE, LEVEL WITH THE CURVED SECTION OF THE TUBE. THE 500 SERIES
OPERATOR HAS A PRESSURED CHAMBER SO DO NOT OVERFILL. THE PUMP WILL
INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO DRAW FLUID AND WILL FAIL TO RUN IN ONE
DIRECTION OR THE OTHER.
