Pre-installation Information

Before You Begin...

Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If you ﬁnd damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only 30 days from the date of shipment.

Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to ensure all requirements for proper installation are present. Verify that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.

If you have any questions about the requirements for proper installation of this gate operator contact technical support at 800-421-1587.

Always Check the Gate’s Action

It’s very important before installing the gate operator to make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should also be designed so that airﬂow is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.

Gate Operator Classiﬁcations

All gate operators can be divided into one of four different classiﬁcations, depending on their design and usage. Install this gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for the construction and usage class as deﬁned below:

Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home or for one to four single family dwellings with a common garage or parking area associated with these dwellings.

Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multi-family housing unit of ﬁve or more single family units, hotel, retail store or other building servicing the general public.

Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial location or building such as a factory or loading dock area or other location not intended to service the general public.

Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

Wiring Speciﬁcations

The Model LRA Residential Linear Actuator is designed to open and close a light-duty residential swing gate. The operator can be used in left-hand or right-hand swing gate installations on gates weighing up to 600 pounds.

The operator is connected by a cable to an APeX electronic controller, which provides all connections for input and entrapment detection devices. The Controller is housed in a separate enclosure and contains a built-in radio receiver for wireless activation by remote control transmitters.

Brackets attached to the gate and gate hinge post are for mounting the operator and to provide a mechanism to move the gate.

When the operator activates, the worm drive in the linear actuator changes the ﬁxed distance between the two brackets that the operator is mounted on. When the operator pulls the two brackets closer together, the gate opens. When the operator pushes the two brackets farther apart, the gate closes (see Figure 1).

Adjustable magnetic limit switches in the operator detect the open and closed positions of the gate.

WARNING

This operator is intended for installation 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. Locate the gate such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

Refer to the following steps for details on power and accessory wiring for the operator.

WELD POST BRACKET TO POST

ASSEMBLE POST BRACKET PIN

Examine Figure 2 for details of the required mounting locations for the two brackets. The brackets must be mounted at the correct locations to allow the operator to open the gate at a 90 degree angle and to ensure the operator functions smoothly.

The brackets must also be mounted level in respect to each other so the operator’s front and rear mounting points are vertical and not offset at an angle.

WARNING

The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swing gates shall not open into public areas.

Measure approximately halfway up the gate height and determine 1. good strong spots located in the required areas to mount the brackets on the post and gate.

Using Figure 2 as a guide, mark the locations on the post or pillar and 2. the gate for the two mounting brackets.

✓ NOTE: Depending on the gate design, an additional reinforcing

plate welded to the gate may be required to provide a good spot to mount the gate bracket.

Figure 2. Required Bracket Locations

Post Bracket Installation

✓ NOTE: When installing the post bracket on a round post or masonry

pillar, use improvised methods (additional plate with lag bolts and anchors, concrete wedge anchors, U-bolts, etc.) to securely fasten the bracket.

For square gate posts:

Tack weld the post bracket to the post at the marked spot and 1. double-check its level and height.

Finish welding the post bracket to the gate post.2.

After the welding is completed and the post bracket has cooled, 3. install the post bracket pin as shown in Figure 3.

Gate Bracket Installation

Before welding the gate bracket, be sure the centers of the operator mounting holes on the brackets will end up 29-1/2” apart when the gate is fully closed.

Tack weld the gate bracket to the gate at the marked spot and 1. double-check its level and height.

Finish welding the gate bracket to the gate.2.

After the welding is completed and the gate bracket has cooled, 3. snap the limit switch magnet assembly onto the gate bracket (see Figure 4).

From the top side of the gate bracket, slide the load bushing into the 4. bracket hole.

Alternate method to locate the gate bracket:

1. Hold the gate bracket with the magnets installed onto the LRA traveler.

2. Run the unit to the full open position.

3. Place the rear of the arm onto the post bracket.

4. Manually fully open the gate.

5. Position the gate bracket in the required position.

6. Remove the magnet assembly and bolt or weld the bracket in place.

Programming Overview

The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator. The programming ﬁelds are deﬁned as “functions” that have “options”. To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).

Entering Programming Mode

Enter programming mode by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together for one second. While in programming mode the PROGRAM indicator will light.

Exiting Programming Mode

Exit programming mode at any time by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together. The Controller will automatically exit programming mode after three minutes of inactivity.

Programming Keystrokes

(Typical Programming Method)

While in programming mode, press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the programming functions. When the desired function is displayed press the ENTER button to display the currently set option for the function. When an option is displayed, the decimal points are lit.

To change the option, press and hold the ENTER button for 1 second. To indicate that an option is ready to be changed, the display will ﬂash. While the display is ﬂashing, press the UP or DOWN button to display the other options available for that function.

When the desired option is displayed, press the ENTER button to store it into memory. To select another function, press ENTER, UP, or DOWN.

Left or Right Hand Operation

In typical installations, the LRA pulls the gate to open it inward. Set the Controller for right hand operation regardless if the installation is a left hand or right hand gate. This will make the open limit switch on the

motor end of the operator.

In some installations, the LRA pushes the gate to open it outward. Set

the Controller for left hand operation regardless if the installation is a left hand or right hand gate. This will make the close limit switch on

the motor end of the operator.

Dual Gate Enable

The factory default is for single gate operation. For dual gate operation, wire the two gate controllers together through the COMM LINK terminals (see Page 20) and enable dual gate operation with this programming step. It is suggested that each controller be programmed separately, then connected to the COM-LINK.

✓ NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate

operation is enabled for paired units.

Auto Close Timer

The factory default turns off the Auto Close Timer. The timer can be set from 1 to 59 seconds and from 1 to 9 minutes. When the Auto Close Timer is set, after opening, the gate will wait for the length of the Auto Close Timer then close automatically.

Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 3-9 Seconds•

Maximum Open Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to fully open the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not for setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will ﬂash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range number above the indicated range number, so that a minimal force (3040 lbs. at 10-feet) will activate a reversal should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption.

Maximum Close Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. Another close request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle happens again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not used for setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will ﬂash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range number above the measured ﬂashing range number, so that a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption.

Entering Advanced Programming Mode

To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled.

After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions will be available on the programming display during the next programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.

Maximum Run Time

The factory default for the Maximum Run Time is 99 seconds. When the operator starts, a timer will begin counting. If a open or close limit is not reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received before the timer expires, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds. The timer can be set for 10 to 99 seconds, but should be left at 99 in most applications. Setting it too close to the actual run time may cause the time to expire with changing ambient temperature, gate conditions, etc…

Single Button Input Setup

This function is used for selecting the operation for single button controls and radio receivers.

The factory default sets the SINGLE input terminal so successive inputs will cycle the operator in OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP order.

Alternately, the SINGLE input can be set to cause the gate to OPEN unless the gate is fully open. If the gate is fully open, the input will cause the gate to CLOSE.

Stagger Mode

This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory default sets the Stagger Mode to OFF. In dual gate installations the two operators communicate through the 3-wire COMM LINK interface. When using the Stagger Mode, set one operator for delayed opening and the other operator for delayed closing. The Stagger Time programming function (see below) sets the length of the delay.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is

selected.

Stagger Delay Time

This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time sets the delay for the Stagger Mode. The Stagger Delay Time can be set from 1-99 seconds.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is

selected.

Auxiliary Relay Mode

The Auxiliary Relay has normally open and normally closed contacts. The factory setting disables the Auxiliary Relay. The relay can be set for:

Maglock:• The relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (open only), to deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock. Ticket Dispenser:• The relay will energize while the gate is moving in the open direction and at the full open limit, or in an entrapment condition. Strobe:• The relay will energize during any pending or actual gate motion (either open or close), to activate a warning strobe light. Alarm:• The relay will energize if the gate is manually forced open from the full closed position.

Reverse Delay Time

The factory default sets the Reverse Delay to 1 second. The operator will wait the length of the delay before reversing direction. This feature will not change the reversal time when the operator is responding to an entrapment condition from an obstruction input or inherent entrapment protection sensor. The Reverse Delay can be set from 1 to 9 seconds. Heaver gates require a longer delay to allow time for the gate to stop.

Low Power Mode

This function is only used with DC battery backup. The factory default disables the Low Power Mode. When Low Power Mode is enabled, and AC power fails, the controller will assume Low Power Mode after 60 seconds of gate inactivity. Low power mode turns off all accessory power and indicators. Only inputs from the radio receiver, reverse loop, or restoring AC power will wake the Controller from Low Power Mode. Programming Mode can still be accessed while the Controller is in Low Power Mode.

Power Failure Mode

This function is only used with DC battery backup. The factory default is set for Fail Safe, alternately the Controller can be set for Fail Secure, Open Immediate, or Close Immediate.

Fail Safe:• If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle open if not already open. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close if programmed to do so. Fail Secure:• If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle closed if not already closed. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation.

✓ NOTE: Fail Safe and Fail Secure are disabled if Stagger Mode is

enabled.

Open Immediate:• If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle open if not already open and cease operation. When AC power is restored, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close if programmed to do so. Close Immediate:• If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle closed if not already closed and cease operation. When AC power is restored, the operator will resume normal operation.

Soft Start/Stop Duration

This function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only). The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds. The Soft Start/Stop Duration can be set from 1 to 10 seconds.

✓ NOTE: Changing the Soft Star t/Stop Duration will reset the open and

close current setting value to zero. It will be necessary to reprogram maximum open and close current settings.

Reset Cycle Count

The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been activated and can display the count rounded off to the nearest 1000. To reset the Cycle Count, press and hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds while the Cycle Count is displayed.

If the Maintenance Alert has been triggered, resetting the Cycle Count will also reset the Maintenance Alert indicator.

Maintenance Alert Trigger

The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.

The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles. The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25 thousand cycles.

The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the operator’s absolute Cycle Count.

Mid-travel Stop Position

The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to be opened partway to allow trafﬁc to pass.

The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately, the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop, before reaching the open limit.

When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.

✓ NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate

operation is enabled for paired units.

Motor Type Selection

The factory sets the default for the Controller to match the type of motor in the operator. When the Controller is used with the Model LRA Linear

Residential Actuator leave this setting at the factory default.

SHIELD

Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire COMM LINK terminals.

When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection signals the other operator to activate. Each operator functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring its inputs and accessories.

A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760 Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982, per foot).

✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal

“C” in both operators.

Three of the programming functions available are only used for dual gate installations:

Dual Gate Enable•

Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.

Stagger Mode•

The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is programmed for delayed close.

Stagger Delay Time•

The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.

See Pages 11 & 13 for details on these three dual gate programming functions.

Set the following parameters in each gate operator individually in a single gate mode before connecting the network cable and operating in dual gate mode.

1. Open and Close Limit settings

2. Open and Closed direction inherent entrapment protection (OC & CC)

After these parameters have been set, and each operator has been tested independently and is functioning correctly in single gate mode, then set BOTH operators to dual gate (dg) in the Paired Mode setup step under Basic Programming steps.

Gate Operation

Open Button

Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended until the OPEN button is released.

Close Button

Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if the gate is in the process of opening.

Stop Button

Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.

Single Input

Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open (open-close programming option). Activating the input while the gate is moving will reverse the gate.

Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is moving (openstop-close programming option).

Fire Department Input

Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button to release the lockout.

Figure 14. COMM LINK Wiring

Open Input

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Open Obstruction

While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout, and sound the emergency alarm.

Close Obstruction

Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.

Reverse Input

If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will close when the Auto Close Timer expires.

Open Loop

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Reverse Loop

Functions the same as the reverse input.

Shadow/Reset Loop

Holds the gate fully open or fully closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately when cleared.

Operation Indications

During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will indicate current operating conditions and status.

Power-up Display

When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the display for one second, then the ﬁrmware version number will be displayed for one second.

Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up display will show upon the restart.

MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble

If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly status reports and will send low battery reports when the transmitter has a low battery. The MGT transmitters also have a tamper detection switch that will trigger when their case is opened.

When the Controller detects a low transmitter battery, a tamper signal, or missing transmitter status reports, the gate will still operate normally, but the beeper will change

Idle Condition

While the Controller is idling, waiting for a command, the display will show circulating dashes.

For DC models only - Clockwise : Batteries discharging, Counterclockwise : Batteries charging

as follows:

The Pre-start Alarm will beep twice as fast.• The Run Alarm will beep twice as fast and continue for ﬁve minutes • after the gate stops. The sounder will “chirp” every ﬁve seconds when the gate is idle.•

Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace

Last Gate Position/Condition

When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the status for up to one minute.

Stop is displayed as • St Full Close is displayed as • FC Full Open is displayed as • FO Entrapment is displayed as • En

Pre-start Delay

During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.

Reverse Delay

If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation or reversing device, and a reverse delay is set, the display will count down the delay time in seconds before the operator restarts.

Run Timer

While the gate is opening or closing, the number of seconds running time is displayed.

Error Indications

During abnormal operation, the Controller’s displays and beeper will indicate the error condition that has occurred.

Entrapment

If an entrapment condition occurs detected by two repeated open or close obstruction triggers, the Controller will lock the operator out. The beeper will sound constantly and the gate will not operate. To reset the Controller press the STOP button or press the RESET button on the control box.

WARNING

The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-ofsight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

Maximum Run Time Exceeded

If the Maximum Run Time is exceeded, the Controller stops the operator the same as if a double obstacle has occurred in an entrapment condition. The entrapment alarm sounds constantly, and is cleared by pressing the STOP button or the RESET button on the cover. After the STOP or RESET button is pressed, because the Maximum Run Time has been exceeded, the sounder will beep twice every ﬁve seconds. The next operation of the gate will clear the indication.

Troubleshooting

Contacting Technical Support

For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the Technical Services Department at:

1-800-421-1587 from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Paciﬁc time

Operator fails to start

A. Make sure you have power at the master distribution

panel and that the power has not been turned off.

B. If the “Reset to Factory Defaults” (CL) programming step

has been used, ensure the motor type (MO) has been set to d2 and open (OC) and closed currents (CC) have been set.

Motor operates, but gate does not move

A. Make sure all mounting hardware is still attached and

that all fasteners are tight.

B. Check that the actuator worm gear is moving. If it isn’t,

the gears in the drive may have stripped.

Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal

A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding

throughout its entire travel.

Gate staying open with automatic system

A. If there are vehicle detectors used with the operator, one

of the loops or loop detectors may be sending a false signal or needs to be reset. Observe the indicators on the loop detector. Unplug the detector and try running the operator.

B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or

malfunctioning. Try disconnecting these devices and hook them back up one at a time and try running the operator until the malfunctioning device is found.

Gate stopping part way open or closed (but no visible obstruction)

A. The Controller may have received a false obstruction

input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure the gate moves freely through its entire travel before adjusting the current sensing.

B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and

expired. This can be caused by having the timer set too low. When the timer expires, the gate stops and the beeper will sound.

C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the

obstruction input may have triggered falsely. Check the control board for lit indicators for any of the following inputs: safety, shadow/reset, open obstruction, close obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator should be running, remove all devices hooked to that function and hook them up one at a time and try to run the operator until the problem device is found. Refer to Page 8 for details on the control board indicators.

Preventative Maintenance

WARNING

Always disconnect power from operator before servicing. Keep clear of gate during operation.

General

Linear gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically. Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.

Lubrication

✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not

require further lubrication.

✓ Post Bracket Pin & Traveler Shaft — Lubricate the

front and back pivot points with a lithium complex-based grease.

✓ Actuator Body — Wipe down the unit with a clean rag.

✓ Control Cable — Inspect the operator to control box

cable for cracks in the insulation, breaks, or other signs of failure. Check all connection points. Replace cable if necessary.

Battery Maintenance

The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine maintenance. For assured continued performance, they should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge before use after storage or upon initial installation.

FCC Notice

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and Industry Canada Rules & Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

6-Month Preventative Maintenance

1. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten as necessary.

2. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check photoeyes for proper alignment and function.

3. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when ﬁnished with inspection and maintenance.

4. Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced, contact Linear. Be sure there are no control stations mounted within reach of the gate. Review safety literature with the customer and advise them to remove any such stations found.

For all gate operators, you must inspect the gate for proper operation. The gate should move easily without binding through its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or ﬁx as required. Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse effects on the operator.
