Safety Installation Information
SAFETY
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:
l Edges Sensors (contact)
l Guards for Exposed Rollers
l Photoelectric Sensors
l Screen Mesh
l Vertical Posts
l Instructional and Precautionary Signage

INSTALLATION
Wire Entrapment Protection Devices
There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the specific
entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed
photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.
Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
Control Board
CLOSES EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric
sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full
open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during
gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or
edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.
Expansion Board
EYE ONLY and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based
on the switch settings (located next to the terminals)
Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed
Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is
sensed
EYE/EDGE and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors or Edge Sensor, the
functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the
terminals)
Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed
Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is
sensed
15
INSTALLATION
Step 5 Earth Ground Rod
Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire
must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the
ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or
destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.
2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.
Step 6 Power Wiring
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
l ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power
switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared
and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
l 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.
The operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or 240 Vac or a solar panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application. An
optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120 Vac (refer to
Accessories). For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in
separate conduits.
SOLAR APPLICATIONS: For solar applications refer to Solar Panels section in the Appendix. Follow the directions according to your application.
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.
l ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
l DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without
consulting the wiring diagram.
l ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.
The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly
labeled.
l ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.

ADJUSTMENT
Limit and Force Adjustment
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
l Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a moving gate.
l Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety
reversal system.
l NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move
gate.
l NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking
gate.
l If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control
may also need adjustment.
l After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be
tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with an object.
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 limit setup LEDs (located next to the SET
OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons) indicate the status of the limits, refer to
the table to the right.
The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control
(refer to Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Appendix). Setting the
limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control
programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.
NOTE: The TEST buttons on the control board will not work until the
limits have been set and the required entrapment protection devices are
installed.
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.
For slide gate applications the open limit and closed limit MUST be set
at least four feet apart.
1. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons
simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.
2. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to
the open or close limit.
3. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set.
4. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to
the other limit.
5. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set.
6. Cycle the gate open and close. This automatically sets the force.
When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit
setting mode.

ADJUSTMENT
Fine Tune the Force
Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the
control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or
environmental changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE
DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.
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.
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS.
2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed
position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly
clockwise.
3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit and force setting
adjustment (see below).
Adjust the Limits
After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be
adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the
Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section.
Obstruction Test
The operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the operator)
obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an obstruction during
motion, the operator will reverse direction of the gate and then stop. The
following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built in to the operator)
obstruction sensing device:
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the
gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2. Place an object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Make
sure that any external entrapment protection devices will NOT be
activated by the object.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse
upon contact with the object. If the gate does not reverse off the
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 an
object.
4. Repeat the test for the open direction.
Test the operator after any adjustments are made.

l Option select switch set to OPEN forces gate to automatically open and then latch at the OPEN limit until AC power is restored or battery voltage
increases.
l Option select switch set to CLOSE forces gate to latch at CLOSE limit if at CLOSE limit or on next CLOSE command until AC power restored or battery
voltage increases.
l Constant pressure on a hard command input overrides to open or close the gate.
l Critically low battery is less than 23 V
5 BIPART DELAY Switch: The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only for dual gates. See Bipart Delay section.
6 LEARN Button: The LEARN button is for programming remote controls and the network.
7 TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial: The TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC) dial can be set to automatically close the gate after a specified 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 control. Rotate the TIMER-TOCLOSE dial to the desired setting. The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF. NOTE: Any radio command, single button control, 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 open controls, loops, close edges, and close
photoelectric sensors (IR’s).
8 REVERSAL FORCE dial: The REVERSAL FORCE dial fine tunes the force. See Force Adjustment section.
9 TEST BUTTONS: The TEST BUTTONS will operate the gate (OPEN, STOP and CLOSE).

OPERATION
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.
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 gate is hitting a wall or vehicle.
B. The gate does not meet specifications.
C. Debris is on the gate's track such as mud, rocks, dirt, etc.
D. The gate has one or more broken axles or wheels.
E. The gate wheel is off the gate rail.
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
Single Button Control (SBC) Functionality
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.

Expansion board overview
1. QUICK CLOSE switch:
OFF: No change to the gate's normal operation.
ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is deactivated it causes an
opening or a stopped gate to close (ignores the Timer-to-Close).
2. AC FAIL switch:
OPEN: Loss of AC power will cause the gate to open approximately 15
seconds after AC power fail and remain OPEN until AC power is
restored (enabling the Timer-to-Close).
BATT: With loss of AC power, gate will remain in present position and
operator is powered from batteries.
3. EXIT FAIL switch:
When set to OPEN, if the EXIT plug-in loop detector (Model
LOOPDETLM) detects a fault, then the gate will open and remain open
until fault is cleared. When set to CLOSE, then plug-in EXIT loop
detector faults are ignored (EXIT loop is faulted and inoperative).
4. ANTI-TAIL switch:
OFF: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing
gate to stop and reverse.
ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing
gate to pause. Once the vehicle is clear the gate will continue to close.

Red/green light functionality, see below.
* Cycle count
First, note the current Aux Relay switch positions. To determine the
actual cycles that the gate operator has run (in thousands), set all three
Aux Relay switches to the ON setting for Aux Relay 1. The Expansion
Board’s 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will blink out the cycle count, with 1 LED
blinking 1000’s, 2 LED blinking 10,000’s, 3 LED blinking 100,000’s, and
simultaneously all three LED’s blink 1,000,000’s (e.g. 1 LED blinks 3
times, 2 LED blinks 6 times, and 3 LED 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 appropriate
positions. Cycle count cannot be reset or changed. If under 1,000 cycles
the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will turn on for 10 seconds, then turn off.
NOTE: The expansion board will flash the cycle count 3 times then all the
LEDs will turn on solid for 10 seconds then turn off.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
l READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
l ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power
(AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be
cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
l 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.
l NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the
remote control away from children.
l ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
l The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate
entrance.
l Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact
with an object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact
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.
l Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT
moving.
l KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
l ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster professional.
l Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted
and there are no obstructions to gate travel.
l To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster
part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries.
l SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
l ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Batteries
Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage. The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low. Batteries
do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use only LiftMaster part
29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of properly.
The operator comes with two 7AH batteries. Two 33AH batteries (A12330SGLPK), with Solar Harness Kit (K94-37236) may be used in place of the 7AH
batteries.
Drive Train
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.
36
TROUBLESHOOTING
To protect against fire and electrocution:
l DISCONNECT power (AC or solar and battery) BEFORE installing or
servicing operator.
For continued protection against fire:
l Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.

Solar Application Requirements
l A minimum of two 10W solar panels in series (Model SP10W12V).
l A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SP10W12V).
l Solar Harness Kit (Model K94-37236).
l A heater cannot be used with a solar application.
Solar Zones
Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation
and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the
map below. Local geography and weather conditions may require
additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not
supported in northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number
of hours of sunlight during the winter months. The cycles/day ratings are
approximations. Ratings vary based on gate construction, installation, and
temperature. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience long
periods of heavy fog, lake effect snow, or rain.

facing due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of
all obstructions and shade from buildings and trees. If the panel(s) is not
casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.
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.
Solar panel(s) MUST be installed facing south. Use a compass to determine direction. Below are general instructions for installing the solar panel(s). Your
installation may vary slightly depending on the solar panel purchased.
1. Position the mounting bracket on the mounting surface. Mark and drill holes.
2. Secure the solar panel to the mounting bracket using the hex bolts, hex nuts and washers provided.
3. Secure the solar panel to the mounting surface using lag screws provided.
