Because of the nature of the StrongArm M30™, it is critical
to align the opening of the Catch Post with the center of the Pivot Post.

To make sure the stability of the StrongArm M30™ Crash Rated Fortied Barrier Arm,
the foundation must be constructed in accordance with the following guidelines:
• Excavate a hole for the foundation to house the rebar mats and anchor bolt assemblies.
Soil compression under and around the foundation shall be compacted to
a soil density of 95% of standard proctor (ASTM-698).
• Add gravel where necessary to ensure a solid soil base. Soil must be stable and
adequate to support the weight of the foundation.
IMPORTANT: Softer soils require a larger footing. Employ the services of a structural or
civil engineer for site specic considerations. In Northern latitudes, consider the frost line.

• Conduit for vehicle loop wires. One separate conduit for each vehicle loop installed.
• Separate conduit for Earth ground.
• Appropriately-sized conduit between the operator Pivot Post and Catch Post for optional items such as:
thru beam photo eye, trac light, Mag Lock, or heater.
Lay rebar mat pattern 7 by 7 at 10-inch on center (OC).
Use #5 (⅝ inch) rebar: 10 lengths of 20 ft. (6m)
Cut 28 pieces of rebar 5½ ft long (168cm).
For the vertical pieces, cut 8 pieces of rebar 19 inches long (48cm).

DANGER
e potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, barrier arms,
fences, and gate operators. National Electric Code (NEC) requires a
separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.
For earth grounding requirements in the U.S.A., refer to the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 780 - Standard for the Installation of
Lightning Protection Systems.
Highlights of the standard include:
e ground rod must be UL listed copper-clad steel, solid copper,
hot-dipped galvanized steel, or stainless steel. Minimum requirements:
½ inch (13 mm) diameter and 8 feet (244 cm) in length.
Ensure the posts are plumb.

StrongArm M30 Installation & Assembly - Install Posts & Ground D0432 Rev C
from the grounding rod to the lug nut on
the chassis. Feed the 6AWG wire from the
chassis to the earth ground rod.
e ground rod is driven into the earth (refer to local codes for proper
depth requirements).
e ground rod is electrically bonded to the chassis with a single length
of un-spliced 6AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91cm) long. Due to the
large concrete foundation, make the neccessary adjustments to accomodate
for earth ground requirements.
Local jurisdictions may impose additional or dierent requirements
above the NEC and NFPA 780. Consult the local codes and regulations
regarding requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT: Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate
operator performance and the life of its electrical components. Use sucient
wire size during installation. If you do not ground the operator with a separate
earth ground rod, you risk voiding the Limited Warranty.
