3 Introduction

SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION

1. READ and FOLLOW all instructions.

2. The gate operator is intended for use with Class I vehicular swing gates.

Class I denotes 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.

Install the gate operator only when the operator is

appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.

3. 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 system design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards. Install the gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of the gate. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated or guarded.

4. A gate operator can create high levels of force during normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every installation. Speciﬁ c safety features include safety sensors.

5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.

6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided 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 operator is intended for use 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. The pedestrian access shall be located such that persons will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.

8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a moving gate. The gate operator is not acceptable for use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate pedestrian access.

9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety sensors), see product manual on the placement of non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for each type of application.

a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of

nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the safety sensor while the gate is still moving.

b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors)

shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

10. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as

an edge sensor:

a. 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.

b. 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.

11. Never mount any device that operates the gate

operator where the user can reach over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls are to be placed at least 6' (1.8 m) from any part of the moving gate:

• A hard wired control device shall be located and its

wiring arranged so that communication between the control device and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical damage.

Introduction 4

12. 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, or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to hang on or ride the gate during the entire travel of the gate.

13. Each gate operator is provided with two safety warning placards. The placards are to be installed on the front and back of the gate where they are plainly visible. The placards may be mounted using cable ties through the four holes provided on each placard.

All warning signs and placards must be installed

where visible in the area of the gate.

14. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.

15. SAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• Install warning signs on the front and back of the gate in PLAIN VIEW.

• Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner

using fastening holes.

Moving Gate Can Cause

Injury or Death

KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time without prior warning.

Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate will need to open ﬁ rst and close second. This would happen if there was an ornamental overhang on one gate or if using a solenoid lock, for example. This gate is called the Primary gate and needs to be connected to Gate 1 connections on the control board. Thus, it is preferred that the control box be installed on the same side as this gate. If there is no appropriate location on that side for the control box, then mount the control box on the opposite side, but connect the operator closest to the control box to the Gate 2 connector and the operator on the opposite side to the Gate 1 connector.

NOTE: The gate with the longer travel span (opening) must be set as the primary gate (GATE 1).

board needs to be set to the ON position. The following illustration shows a dual gate

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

Select Site for Solar Panel(s)

The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The solar panel(s) comes with a 10' cable. If a location near the control box cannot be found, an additional cable will be required. The LA412 Solar Gate Operator is not supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4F. 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 32F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper operation.

The map (above) and cycles/day ratings are approximations and do not account for installed accessories that draw additional battery power. Ratings vary based on gate construction and installation. They are also shown for using a single 10W solar panel in conjunction with two 12 Volt 7.0 AH batteries. Ratings will improve by adding additional 10W solar panels. If required, up to three 10W panels (30W total) can be wired in parallel to increase the number of cycles per day.

NOTE: The solar panel(s) recommendation is based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given regions. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience heavy fog or lake effect rain and snow.

27 Solar Panel Installation

OVERVIEW OF SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

Make sure the control box has two 12V 7AH batteries installed. Do not connect

1

batteries until instructed.

Solar Panel

(Facing South)

Control Box

Solar Panel Installation 28

POSITION SOLAR PANEL(S)

NOTE: If the panel(s) is not casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.

2

The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In general, the panel(s) should be mounted using the provided angle bracket facing due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of all obstructions and shading from buildings and trees. The area should be clear for a 180° arc from due east of the panel(s) location to due west of the panel(s) location.

NOTE: Tall trees or buildings that do not shade the solar panel(s) in the summer could shade the solar panel(s) during the winter months when the sun sits lower in the sky.

Sun’s Position

Solar Panel

NOTE: DO NOT install solar panel near potential shading or obstructions that will block the panel during any part of the day.

South

TIP: To optimize the system for winter operation the angle can be increased an additional 15° (solar panel(s) sits more vertical).

TIP: The area around the solar panel(s) should be clear of shadows or obstructions to the sun for a 180° arc east to west.

180°

TIP: Wire runs should be kept as short as possible. The solar panel(s) can be located up to 100' from the operator using #16 AWG wire in any direction, including elevating it.

29 Solar Panel Installation

POSITION SOLAR BRACKET

Position solar bracket on mounting surface. Mark and drill holes.

3

NOTE: Solar panel(s) MUST be installed facing south. Use a compass to determine direction.

INSERT MOUNTING BOLTS

Insert two bolts into the track located on the back of the solar panel(s).

4

Slide bolts in track away from bolt hole and align both bolts.

SECURE SOLAR PANEL(S) TO SOLAR BRACKET

Secure solar panel(s) to solar bracket using two washered nuts.

CONNECT SOLAR PANEL(S) TO OPERATOR CONTROL BOX

AC PWR/

SOLAR

J4

Open the control box cover. Disconnect all power and

7

batteries from the control board. Run the solar panel cable to the bottom of the control box. Thread the cable through the watertight connector and pull the cable through until it reaches the AC PWR/SOLAR connector on the control board. Tighten the watertight connector on the cable. Attach the solar panel wires to AC PWR/SOLAR input terminal (polarity is not important). Leave the AC PWR/SOLAR earth ground connection open.

NOTE: The system is designed to be charged by either an AC plug-in transformer or a separate solar panel, but not both.

Connect the AC PWR/SOLAR connector to the control board. With the batteries still disconnected, the control board should power up if the solar panel is correctly installed and the sun is shining (the diagnostic LED will blink).

Use the cable ties to secure the solar panel cable away from places where it could be damaged.

NOTE: If the sky is too overcast to allow the solar panel to power up the system, the panel will need to be veriﬁ ed at another time when the sun is shining. There is no other way to verify the panel installation.

To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance.

• DO NOT connect solar panel(s) when power supply is connected.

• DO NOT connect more than 30W (3 solar panels).

Program Limits

The limits are internal settings that indicate when the gates are in the fully open position and the fully closed position. For proper functionality, the limits must be programmed during the installation process. The programming uses a combination of buttons on the control board.

The speciﬁ c buttons used for programming depends on which side of the gate the control box is mounted and how many operators the installation includes. Refer to pages 11 and 13 to determine if the gate is Left- or Right-handed.

If a mistake is made during programming press the RESET button on the outside of the control box to start over.

FORCE ADJUSTMENT

The operator is equipped a with an obstruction sensing feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction the operator will automatically reverse direction and stop. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make force adjustments. The force adjustment should be high enough that small objects such as branches or wind will not cause nuisance interruptions but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person or a vehicle.

To adjust the force:

Using the 3-button remote or the Single Button Control (SBC) button on the control board, open and then close the gate. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position increase the force by turning the force control slightly. Run operator through a complete cycle.

NOTE: Weather conditions can affect the gate movement, so seasonal adjustment may be required. The force control is factory set to the mid position.

FORCE

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing gate.

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

• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close 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.

Minimum Force

Maximum Force

TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)

The TIMER TO CLOSE feature can be set to automatically close the gate after a speciﬁ ed time period. The TTC is factory set to OFF.

If the TTC is set to the OFF position, then the gate will remain open until the operator receives another command from a remote control or SBC.

To set the TIMER TO CLOSE:

Rotate the TIMER TO CLOSE dial to the desired setting. The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF.

NOTE: Any radio command, SBC, or CLOSE command on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the loops, close edges, and close safety sensors (IR’s).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of SEVERE 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. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE 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.

USING YOUR GATE OPERATOR

Your operator will operate with up to forty-nine Security✚® remote controls and one Security✚® Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a new remote, or if you wish to deactivate any remote, follow the instructions in the Programming section.

Activate your operator with any of the following:

• The hand-held Remote Control (See Accessories):

Hold the large push button down until the gate starts to move.

• The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided with your gate operator, it must be programmed before use. See Programming.

When the operator is activated (with the safety sensors correctly installed and aligned)

1. If open, the gate will close. If closed, it will open.

2. If the gate has been stopped in a partially open position,

it will close.

3. If obstructed while closing, the gate will stop and reverse

direction for approximately 2 seconds and then stop. The next command will open the gate.

4. If obstructed while opening, the gate will stop and

reverse direction for approximately 2 seconds and then stop. The next command will close the gate.

The operator alarm will sound under the following condition: If gate encounters two consecutive obstructions, before reaching the open or close limit, the operator will stop, the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the control board will require resetting. Reset the control board by pressing the “Reset Button” located on the outside of the control box. No commands at this time will operate gate. After the operator is reset, normal functions will be available.

37 Operation and Maintenance

5. Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualiﬁ ed service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance.

8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY maintenance.

9.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The Timer-To-Close (TTC) Feature comes from the factory in the OFF setting.

The “TIMER RUNNING LED” will ﬂ ash once for every second of adjusted time. The gate(s) must fully open for the timer feature to be active and close the gate(s). Any radio command or pressing the single button on the control board prior to the TCC time expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the loops, close edges, and close safety sensors (IR’s).

Party Mode: If the Timer-to-Close feature is enabled and you would like the gate to remain open, simply push the reset button (located on the outside of the control box). To set party mode: open the gate fully, then press the reset button. The next command given by remote control or SBC on the control board will close the gate and return the operator to normal operation.

Sleep Mode (Battery Conservation): The operator enters sleep mode 10 seconds after the last command is given. The diagnostic LED will blink in this mode. The safety sensors (photo eyes) indicator LEDs will not be on. The next command given will return the operator to normal operation.

Reset Button: The reset button can be used to set the operator into party mode and to reset the alarm after an obstruction. The diagnostic LED can be reset by holding the reset button for 1 to 2 seconds.
