CHOOSING GATE MOVEMENT DIRECTION

SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

Switch the “Open Inside / Open Outside” switch on the control board
to the corresponding position for the proper direction.

Important: It is necessary to still adjust your limit switch at the close position.

The controller will look for the limit close first and then it will look for the positive stop.

Set the sensor adjustment so when the gate hits any object while opening,
it will stop and when the gate hits any object while closing, it will reverse.

Note: If you activate the operator and the gate stops in the middle of the

driveway, the sensor is set too sensitive.

The gate opens outward.

EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION

ADJUSTABLE TIMER

Use 12 gauge ground wire

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 Elite gate operator.
Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a
direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the
gate operator in most cases.

The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from
the gate operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for

Loop Installation “Saw Cut” Type

LOOP INSTALLATION AND NUMBER OF WIRE TURNS

Mark the loop layout on the pavement. Remove sharp inside corners that can damage the loop wire
insulation.

Set the saw to cut to a depth (typically 2" to 2.5") that insures a minimum of 1" from the top of the wire to
pavement surface. The saw cut width should be larger than the wire diameter to avoid damage to the wire
insulation when placed in the saw slot. Cut the loop and feeder slots. Remove all debris from the slot with
compressed air. Check that the bottom of the slot is even.

It is highly recommended that a continuous length of wire be used to form the loop and feeder to the
detector. It is also highly recommend using 12-18 AWG cross-link polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for the
loop wire. Use heavier wire gauge for a more durable loop area. Use a wood stick or roller to insert the wire
to the bottom of the saw cut (Do not use sharp objects). Wrap the wire in the loop saw cut until the desired
number of turns is reached. Each turn of wire must lay flat on top of the previous turn.

The wire must be twisted together a minimum of 6 twists per foot from the end of the saw cut to the
detector.

The wire must be held firmly in the slot with 1" pieces of backer rod every 1 to 2 feet. This prevents the wire
from floating when the loop sealant is applied.

Apply the sealant. The sealant selected should have good adhering properties with similar expansion and
contraction characteristics to that of the pavement material.

Black 16 AWG

Black 16 AWG

Red 22 AWG

To reduce the risk of injury, You must install a photocell sensor when the gate opens to less than 18”
from a wall or any other object or potential entrapment installation. Follow the installation instructions
provided with the photocell sensor for accurate placement of the photocell and the reflector.

Elite Part #

A OMRON

If multiple sensors are being used, all of the photo beam sensors are to be connected in parallel at the UL

sensor input on the surge suppression board.

If you are going to use a non-contact sensor as a secondary entrapment protection you should use a recognized
component to comply with the revised UL 325 intended to be used in class I or class II gate operator, like the
following: OMRON Retro-Reflective Photocell, Model: E3K-R10K4-NR
