SAFETY

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.

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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-of­sight 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.

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.

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 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.

f. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical

barrier (arm).

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.

3 Edge Contact Sensor

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and
RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.

Edge Sensor for Open Cycle Edge Sensor for Close Cycle

!

NON-CONTACT SENSORS

If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked 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. It is best to use monitored photoelectric sensors, model CPS-UN4. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL
gate operation in that direction will stop. Unmonitored photoelectric sensor models AOMRON and RETROAB are also acceptable.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• Pinch points must be guarded at all times. Install enclosed-style gate tracks and
roller guards.

• Place screen mesh 4 feet (1.2 m) high on the gate to prevent access through
openings anywhere the gate may travel.

• Mount controls at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving part of the
gate.

• Install Warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW. Permanently secure
each Warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes.

• This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to
pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the
gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at
any point during full movement of the gate.

• Contact sensors MUST be located at the leading and trailing edges, and post
mounted both inside and outside a horizontal swing gate. Non-contact sensors
such as photo eyes MUST be mounted across the gate opening and operate
during BOTH the open and close cycles.

• To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact
underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging more than 18 inches
(46 cm) deep.

• 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.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and
RIGID objects, such as posts or walls.

• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal
system.

• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate.

• 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.

• DO NOT touch the heater when switch is on, heater may be hot.

• ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery
or working around the battery compartment.

WIRING

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT

maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may
be returned to service.

• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be
properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of

adequate capacity.

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.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.

• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.

• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting
the wiring diagram. We recommend that you install an edge sensor BEFORE
proceeding with the control station installation.

• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The
location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled.

• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.

• 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.

• Keep clear of moving arm while setting limits.

PREPARATION

SITE PREPARATION

Check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation.

GATE CONDUIT & CONCRETE PAD

Gate must be constructed and installed according to ASTM F2200 standards (refer
to page 4). Gate must fit specifications of operator (refer to specifications).

Conduit must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Consider the operator
placement BEFORE installing the pad or post.

Concrete Pads

SITE PREPARATION

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.

!

Warning Signs

Entrapment Danger

VEHICLE LOOPS

The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing the
gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or longer. Vehicle loops are
not required but are recommended.

SAFETY

STANDARD INSTALLATION

(Inside Property)

The illustration is an example of a standard installation.

COMPACT INSTALLATION

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.

(Inside Property)

Check national
and local codes
for proper depth

SOLAR PANEL(S)

NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.
For solar applications DO NOT use the expansion board and the wireless dual gate feature. These features will substantially decrease the cycle rate

and standby time of the operator. The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The gate operator is not

supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4˚F. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle
rate may vary from solar chart for areas that reach below 32˚F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper operation. For solar
applications, a minimum of two 10W solar panels in series and two 7AH batteries are recommended. For Zone 3 cold weather sites, two 33AH batteries are recommended. We
recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to minimize power draw, refer to accessory page.

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.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT

• 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.

• Keep clear of moving arm while setting limits.

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.

INITIAL LIMITS AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT

For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each
operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting the
limits and force.

Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously to

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

3

(see 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.

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.

OPERATION

MANUAL DISCONNECT + RESET SWITCH + REMOTE CONTROL + HEATER (IF APPLICABLE)

MANUAL DISCONNECT

Press the reset switch to RESET/DISCONNECT. Release the handle on the operator arm
to allow the gate to be opened and closed manually. On a dual gate application the
handle must be released on both operators. To resume normal function tighten the
handle by pushing it down.

RESET SWITCH

The reset switch is located on the front of the operator and serves several functions.
Toggling the reset switch will stop a moving gate during a normal open/close cycle,

like a stop button. The operator does not need to be reset after doing this. The reset
switch will disable the gate in the present position and will energize the solenoid lock
for two minutes and disable the maglock for two minutes.

OPERATOR ALARM

If a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice consecutively the alarm will sound

(up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset. If a command is given
after the initial 5 minutes the operator will beep.

When the inherent force of the operator (RPM/current sensor) detects the

following (twice consecutively) the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the

operator will need to be reset:
A. The operator arm or gate is incorrectly installed.
B. The gate does not meet specifications.
C. Gate hinges are too tight or broken and the gate is not moving freely.
D. The gate is moving and a car pushes the gate.
E. A foreign object is on the gate frame while the gate is moving.
F. The gate hits the driveway or curb and gets stuck or bent in an awkward

position.

Remove any obstructions. Press the reset button to shut off the alarm and reset

the operator. After the operator is reset, normal functions will resume.

The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low.

REMOTE CONTROL

Once the remote control has been programmed the operator will operate as follows:
When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open

the gate. During the open cycle another activation of the remote control will stop the
gate and the next activation of the remote control will close the gate.

When the gate is in the open position, activation of the remote control button will
close the gate. If the remote control is activated while the gate is closing, the gate will
stop and the next activation will open the gate.

HEATER (IF APPLICABLE)

The operator may have a heater installed, depending on the model purchased. The
heater must be powered by 120 Vac ONLY. If the heater switch is left in the “ON”

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE CHART + BATTERIES

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.

DESCRIPTION TASK CHECK AT LEAST ONCE EVERY

MONTH 6 MONTHS 3 YEARS

Entrapment Protection Devices Check and test for proper operation X
Warning Signs Make sure they are present X
Manual Disconnect Check and test for proper operation X
Sprockets and Chains Check for excessive slack and lubricate X
Gate Inspect for wear or damage X
Accessories Check all for proper operation X
Electrical Inspect all wire connections X
Chassis Mounting Bolts Check for tightness X
Operator Inspect for wear or damage X
Batteries Replace X

NOTES:

• Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks.

• 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) with additional battery tray (K10-36183) 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.

NOTE: If your application includes a heater, two 33AH will not fit into the operator
enclosure.

The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low.
