SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION
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:
• 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 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to
prevent a 2-1/4 inches (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 6 feet (1.8 m)
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.

SAFETY
REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES
REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may
come near a moving gate.
• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close
gate cycles.
An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. All gate operator systems
REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone. This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system (the primary
entrapment protection system) and REQUIRES the addition of an external entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact safety edge sensor) for
EACH entrapment zone.
Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly.
CONTACT SENSORS (EDGE SENSORS)
If the electrically activated edge sensor comes in contact with an obstruction while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse. The gate will not be able to travel in that
direction until the obstruction is cleared. Use edge sensor models G65MG0204, G65MGR020, or G65MGS020.
• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and
RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.

INTRODUCTION
OPERATOR SPECIFICATIONS
This model is intended for use in vehicular slide gate applications:
Check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation.
GATE
Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 standards (refer to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator (refer to specifications).
SAFETY CATCH ROLLERS
Install catch rollers with safety covers
on the side of a post or wall with a
minimal distance of half an inch
between the rollers and gate.
10
DO NOT use a gate catch post.
Because the coasting distance may vary due to
changes in temperature, it is NOT recommended
to install a stop or catch post in front of the
gate's path. To do so will cause the gate to hit
the post in certain instances.
SITE PREPARATION
CONDUIT & CONCRETE PAD
Conduit must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Consider the operator
placement BEFORE installing the pad or post.
Concrete Pads
SAFETY
Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any entrapment
or safety conditions encountered in your gate application (refer to page 5 for
more details). Install warning signs on both sides of the gate.
EARTH GROUND ROD
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
gate operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a direct
lightning strike, proper grounding can
protect the gate operator in most cases.

BIPART DELAY/SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE
The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only with dual gate applications and
serves two functions:
• BIPART DELAY
SWING GATE APPLICATIONS: The BIPART DELAY is used in applications
where a mag-lock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one
gate to close before the other. The operator with the LOCK/BIPART DELAY
switch ON will delay from the close limit when opening and be the first to
close from the open limit.
SLIDE GATE APPLICATIONS: Not applicable, set to OFF.
• SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE
The BIPART DELAY is also used in applications where one gate travels a
longer distance than the other. To synchronize the closing of the gates, set
the LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch to ON for both operators.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small
children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate.
• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal
system.
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate.
INTRODUCTION
Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit and force
adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the gate will stop in
the open and close position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force
required to open and close the gate. The force is adjusted automatically when you
program the limits but should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the
control board (refer to Fine Tune the Force section) to compensate for environmental
changes.
The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control (refer to
Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Additional Features section). Setting the
limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control programmed to
OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.
LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT
• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also
need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested.
Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.

FINE TUNE THE FORCE
The FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where
wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel.
Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional
force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not
reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious
injury to a person. The force setting is the same for both the open and close gate
directions.
Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS.
1
If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position,
2
increase the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise.
Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every force setting adjustment (see
3
below).
ADJUST THE LIMITS
If the limits have already been set the operator will exit the limit setting mode after
resetting each limit. Each limit is set separately by following steps 1-3 of the Initial
Limit and Force Adjustment section.

ERASE LIMITS
To erase the limits, press and hold the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons

simultaneously (5 seconds) until both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs blink

Release the buttons and the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs will blink slowly
2
indicating the limits will need to be set.
OBSTRUCTION TEST
The operator is equipped with an automatic obstruction sensing feature. If the gate
encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator will automatically reverse
direction of the gate for a short time and then stop the gate. After any adjustments
are made, test the operator:
Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is
1
stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
Place a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Ensure that
2
the gate, the solid object, and the rigid structure can withstand the forces
generated during this obstruction test.
Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon
3
contact with the solid object. If the gate does not reverse off the solid object,
reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly counter-clockwise.
The gate should have enough force to reach both the open and close limits,
but MUST reverse after contact with a solid object.
Repeat the test for the open direction.

count, with OPEN LED blinking 1000’s, CLOSE LED blink
10,000’s, STOP LED blinking 100,000’s, and
simultaneously all three LED’s blink 1,000,000’s (e.g.
Open blinks 3 times, Close blinks 6 times, and Stop
blinks once. Cycle count is 163,000.). Cycle count
displayed is between 1,000 and 9,999,000 cycles.
After servicing, set Aux Relay switches back to their

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE CHART + BATTERIES + DRIVE CHAIN
MAINTENANCE CHART
Disconnect all power (AC, solar, battery) to the operator before servicing. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and
DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries to service the operator.

NOTES:
• Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks.
• Limits may have to be reset after any major drive chain adjustments.
• If lubricating chain, use only lithium spray. Never use grease or silicone spray.
• It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator.
Using a digital voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the operator it is
within ten percent of the operator’s rating.
BATTERIES
Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage. For best
performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use only LiftMaster
part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The operator comes with two 7AH
batteries. Two 33AH (A12330SGLPK) may be used in place of the 7AH batteries.
The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of properly. Batteries do not
perform well in extremely cold temperatures.
The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low.
DRIVE CHAIN
Over time, the drive chain on the operator will stretch and need to be tightened. To
tighten the drive chain adjust either of the two chain eye bolts.
NOTE: The chain should have no more than 1 inch of sag for every 10 feet of chain
length.
