SAFETY SUMMARY
It is important for everyone involved in the installation and operation of the Gate Operator to
read the following warnings.
WARNING!
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Improper installation of a gate operator
can result in a dangerous system. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. A vehicle gate is a large, heavy object that is moved by an electric motor. A moving
gate can cause serious injury or death! The safety and well-being of others depends
on the installation of a safe system.
3. The entrance is for VEHICLES ONLY. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Choose one or more controls that together will allow complete control of the gate.
Most importantly, the gate must be able to be stopped at all times in case of
emergency, and the emergency control should be conveniently located, clearly
marked and visible.
5. All controls must be kept out of the reach of small children. Serious injury or death
can result from children playing with the controls.
6. All controls should be located so the person operating them can see the full area of
gate movement.
7. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
8. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a qualified person make repairs to the
gate hardware.
Test the gate operator safety features 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
damage, injury or death.
9. Gate operators and associated control equipment should be installed by qualified
professional installers who should observe the following safe installation
procedures:
Power should always be disconnected whenever installing, wiring or servicing a gate
operator. Moving chains in gate operators can catch clothing or fingers and cause
severe injury.
Installation of wiring should comply with local building and electrical codes.
All manual gate locks should be disabled to avoid damage to the gate or gate operator
should the lock become engaged after the operator is installed.
All operator controls and safety equipment should be tested at the conclusion of
installation to be sure they are functioning properly.
The operation of the gate controls and safety equipment should be reviewed with the
owner and/or end user of the automated gate system. They should also be informed
of the need to maintain control and safety equipment on a regular basis. Safety
equipment should be checked monthly to ensure it is working properly. All
installation manuals and safety information should be left with the owner.
Moving gates have pinch points and entrapment zones which can be extremely
dangerous to pedestrians, especially small children.

BASIC INSTALLATION HINTS AND RULES
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.
1. UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION SITE THOROUGHLY. The SW
2000 is a flexible and reliable gate operator system, but the quality of service depends
directly on the quality of installation. Please read these instructions carefully and study the
applicable diagrams before planning your installation. In particular, understand any site
characteristics that may affect the system installation.
WARNING
2. INSTALL PERMANENT WIRING. UL specifications require the SW 2000 system to be
permanently wired. Refer to your local wiring code for specific information.
WARNING: Damage caused by faulty wiring is not covered by warranty.
3. U.L. OBSTRUCTION-SENSING REQUIREMENTS. To maximize safety, U.L. 325
standards require primary obstruction sensing (gate sensitivity to impact) and secondary
obstruction sensing (photo-sensors) be in operation at all times.
4. GROUND THE SYSTEM. The system contains parts which may be damaged by static
discharge. A proper earth ground connected to the gate operator housing at the lower left
grounding screw (see Figure 12) will significantly reduce the chances of damage or
improper operation. The shielding in the cables specified for all remote sensors and
controls should also be connected to earth ground at the controller end of the cable only.
To be effective, the ground connection must be made by running 12 AWG copper wire to a
good ground point (e.g., an electrical panel, a metallic cold water pipe that runs into the
earth, or a grounding rod at least 10 feet in length that is driven into the earth) within 12
feet of the system. Even if you have a good earth ground, you should try to discharge any
static before handling the circuit boards.
WARNING: Damage caused by static discharge and lightning is not covered by warranty.
5. PROVIDE POWER FROM A DEDICATED SOURCE. The outlet into which you connect
the Gate Operator should be wired to its own circuit breaker to reduce line noise and
minimize the risk of having other equipment interrupt system operation. In a Master/Slave
system, Master and Slave must each have separate circuits.
6. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TERMINAL BLOCKS. The terminal blocks are removable and
the pins are soldered into the boards. To connect your wires, remove the "head" from the
correct terminals and loosen the screws. Insert the wire into the correct opening on the
front and tighten the screw until the wire is held firmly. When you have made all
connections for a given "head", plug it back onto the pins designated for that terminal
block.
Stranded wire must be between 16 and 24 AWG. Solid wire must be between 18 and 24
AWG. This is the total thickness measurement so, if you are putting two wires in, the
combined thickness must fall within this range. NEVER try to insert more than two wires
per terminal.
7. ENSURE GOOD CONNECTIONS. A light tug on the wire will tell you if the connection is
secure. When reconnecting system components, make sure all pins are straight on chips,
connectors, and terminal block heads.
8. READ THE MARKINGS CAREFULLY. The connection points are marked on the boards
clearly. Before making any connection, be sure to read the marking and check it against
the corresponding figure in these instructions.
9. TRAIN YOUR CUSTOMERS THOROUGHLY. Although customer responsibility is limited
to proper installation, the quality of service is determined by the care of system setup.
Ensure that the customer has a copy of this manual to guide them.

A. LOCATION AND LAYOUT
PART 1
SITE PREPARATION
Figure 1. Gate Operator Layout Options
Rev F Doc 01-20099 3 of 42
• Left Gate and Right Gate are determined by looking from inside the complex toward
the street.
• Figure 1 shows a typical Bi-Parting gate in standard and compact installations.
1. Always install gate operators inside of the fence line, NEVER on the public side of
the fence.
2. Mount all manual controls and activating devices at least 6 ft. away from the gate
for safety.
3. Allow enough clearance around the gate and the gate operator for installation and
service.
B. PAD AND MOUNT
NOTES
Figure 2. Pad and Mount.
1. The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the dynamic
forces created by the moving gate. LiftMaster recommends a pad 24” wide by 27”
long by 30” deep.
2. The operator must be level and parallel to the gate, so the pad should be level and
about 4” above grade to prevent water entrance.
3. Four anchor bolts are required to secure the gate operator to the pad. The
mounting holes in the gate operator are 5/8” in diameter. Red Head bolts ½” x 3½“
are recommended.
4. Be sure to provide access for wiring conduits. In Master/Slave systems, remember
to include conduit stubs for separate inputs (if any) and for the Master/Slave
connection cable between gate operators. For more information about
Master/Slave systems, see Master/Slave Systems for X3 Series Gate Operators.
NOTE: Shading indicates conduit stub access areas.
4 of 42 Doc 01-20099 Rev F
C. POWER WIRING
1. Provide a separate conduit stub for the AC power.
2. Each gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit
NOTE: Master and Slave units each require separate circuits to prevent false
overcurrent faults (see X3 Series Master/Slave Systems).
3. Wiring must comply with the local Electrical Code for operating a 1/2 HP motor. 12
AWG for up to 300' and 10 AWG for up to 500' long wire runs is suggested.
4. Be sure to pull a ground wire in the conduit for the connection to the gate operator.
NOTE: Do not rely on metallic conduit for earth ground.
D. LOOP DETECTORS AND PHOTO-SENSORS
1. A shelf is provided (10" x 11" x 18" high) to support non-LiftMaster loop detector
electronics. Power for the loop detector can come from the auxiliary 115 VAC plugs
in the gate operator or from the 24 VAC provided by the gate operator control board.
NOTE: The auxiliary plugs have power regardless of the unit power switch setting.
2. Conduit provisions should be made for the “loop” wire entrance to the loop detector.
3. Wiring should be 16-24 AWG stranded or 18-24 AWG solid.
NOTE: Optional LiftMaster-supplied loop detector add-on boards are available, both
pre-installed and for installation in the field. See Part 3, Gate Operator Options.
E. TELEPHONE CONNECTION
1. A conduit entrance into the gate operator should be provided for the telephone line.
2. A single twisted pair wire 18 AWG to 24 AWG, will be connected from the telephone
company termination block through the conduit to J9 on the control board. Polarity is not
important.
NOTE: Do not run telephone and AC power wires in the same conduit.
F. MASTER/SLAVE INTERCONNECTION (MASTER/SLAVE SYSTEM ONLY)
1. A conduit between the Master and Slave units should be provided for the Master/Slave
interconnection cable.
2. Two shielded twisted pair wire 16 AWG to 24 AWG will be connected between the two
units at TB1 on the controller board.
NOTES: 1. Do not run the Master/Slave cable and AC power wires in the same conduit.
2. Master/Slave interconnection cable should not exceed 3000' in length.
G. OTHER CONNECTIONS
1. Provisions should be made for conduit entrance into the gate operator for external
activation devices such as key switches, telephone entry systems, loops, etc.
2. Wire size requirement: 16-24 AWG stranded or 18-24 AWG solid wire should be used.
H. GROUNDING
1.
The system contains parts which may be damaged by static discharge. A proper earth
ground connected to the gate operator housing will significantly reduce the chances of
damage or improper operation. The shielding in the cables specified for all remote
sensors and controls should also be connected to earth ground at the controller end of
the cable only.
2.
To be effective, the ground connection must be made by running 12 AWG copper wire
to a good ground point (e.g., an electrical panel, a metallic cold water pipe that runs into
the earth, or a grounding rod at least 10' in length that is driven into the earth) within 12'
of the system. Even if you have a good earth ground, you should try to discharge any
static before handling the boards.

NOTE: For swing gate operation, controls are Left/Clockwise and
Right/Counterclockwise.
• Switch S2 sets gate opening direction (open to left or open to right).
• Switch S2 is sensed only on power up, it should be set when the power is off, or
power should be cycled after setting the switch.
1. Set switch S2 to the Left for Clockwise Gate Opening, or to the Right for
Counterclockwise Gate Opening as required.
2. Set switch S3 to the direction you wish the gate to move (left or right) and remain
when the LOW BATTERY input is activated by an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS).
8 of 42 Doc 01-20099 Rev F
F. POWER UP PROCEDURE
If gate is positioned at the 'open' limit, gate will automatically close if Relcose
Timer is enabled and power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed
limit or at no limit when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme
caution and follow all warning in the Safety Summary.
1. Turn on circuit breaker that provides power to gate operator.
2. Turn on gate operator power switch and verify that the seven-segment LED display
above the keypad sequentially spells out “HELLO”. The only LEDs that should
remain on are MAGLOCK and CLOSE LIMIT or OPEN LIMIT, if one of the limit
switches is engaged.
NOTE: If the LEDs do not follow this pattern, the controller board may not be working
correctly. Stop installation and call LiftMaster Technical Support for assistance.
G. USING MANUAL CONTROLS
CAUTION
