Wiring Specifications

Refer to the following steps for details on power and

accessory wiring for the operator..

  WARNING 

ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

USE COPPER WIRE ONLY!

AC Power Wiring

1.Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and horsepower rating of your operator.

2.The distance shown in the table is measured in feet from the operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115 V and 230 V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.

3.When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied) may be needed for the operator power connection.

4.Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code, Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor inrush, brake solenoids, and operator requirements.

5.Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground wire must be properly connected.

6.Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.

7.Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC models for convenience with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If you choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will decrease the distance for maximum length and the charts will no longer be accurate.

DC Control and Accessory Wiring

1.All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000 feet with 14 AWG wire.

2.Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring. Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in some accessories.

3.A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators together for dual operation. You must use Belden 8760 Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982, per foot). See Page 23 for details of this connection. Note:The shield wire should be connected in both the operators.

Mounting Pad Installation

The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured concrete mounting pad.. The pad supports the operator and prevents it from moving during operation..

An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483) which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad..

Gate Preparation

Before installing the pad, make sure the gate rolls or slides freely, and that all exposed rollers are properly covered.. The gate must be covered with fabric with openings no larger than 2-1/4” in size, to a minimum height of 48” above ground level.. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than 2-1/4” apart, mesh is optional..

  WARNING 

The 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.

  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.

Mounting Pad Specifications

Recommended pad size is 21” x 21” minimum.. Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at least as deep as frost line.. 5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete sets..

Gate Bracket and Chain Assembly

NOTE: The item numbers shown in these illustrations are for reference only. For the actual part numbers, refer to the parts lists in the rear of this manual.

Assemble a gate bracket (1) to the front edge of the gate, using two U-bolts (2), and mounting hardware (3).. Before tightening down completely, be sure the bracket is parallel to the gate.. Tighten the U-bolt hardware the rest of the way, then screw the square head bolts (4) into the threaded holes in the gate plate until they bottom out against the gate.. These will help keep the bracket from twisting on the pipe..

Slide a threaded chain pin (5) through the bracket as shown, with spring (6), flat washer (10), and two hex nuts (7).. Attach one end of the drive chain (8) to the chain pin using master link (9) and begin unrolling the chain toward the operator.. An optional Tail Mount configuration is shown in Figure 4B..

Remove the rain cover from the back of the slide gate operator.. Carefully thread the drive chain under the first idler, over the drive sprocket, and then under the last idler.. Make sure you feed most of the chain through the idlers and sprocket before attaching the chain to the back end of the gate..

Assemble the other gate bracket on the rear edge of the gate, using the same process as the front gate bracket.. Once this is done, take the other chain pin, spring and jam nuts and assemble with the end of drive chain and the other master link..

At this point you should be able to adjust the chain tension by tightening the jam nuts on each end.. Approximately

1/4” to 3/8” of slack per foot of drive chain is acceptable.

Make sure the chain does not drag on the ground, across the gate rollers or the idler frame of the operator..

Additional mounting holes have been provided in the gate bracket for installer convenience..

Operator Preparation

Vent Plug Installation

In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, gear reducers used in this gate operator has either a solid plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory..

For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with the vent plug provided (see Figure 5)..

With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 5)..

Operator Setup

Controller Access

The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover..To remove the dust cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off (see Figure 6)..

AC Power Connection

  WARNING

ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES

AllLineargateoperatorsaresuppliedwithapowerdisconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to the operator (see Figure 7).. Following wiring specifications on Page 2, incoming power should be brought into the operator and connected to the labeled pigtails from the disconnect box.. A wiring connections print can also be found on the label inside the cover of the operator..

Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator.. The motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency operation.. This overload protector will reset automatically after the motor cools down..

Earth Ground

Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame in every gate operator installation.. A good earth ground is necessary to allow the Controller’s built in surge and lightning protection circuitry to work effectively.. The physical bolting of the operator to the mounting pad is not sufficient for a good earth ground..

NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.

1.Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting pad within three feet of the operator.

2.Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the ground rod.

3.Route the ground wire to the operator.

4.Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.

Operator Setup (Continued)

Limit Nuts Rough Adjustment

The limit nuts are not preset at the factory and must be adjusted for the length of the gate in each installation.. The limit switches are activated by two threaded nylon rotary limit nuts which are attached to a threaded limit shaft driven by a chain and sprockets from the main drive shaft (see Figure 8).. REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FILLER BEFORE

ADJUSTING THE LIMIT NUTS.

The Controller is factory set for right hand installations.. The left limit nut is for OPEN and the right limit nut is for CLOSE.. The limit nuts flip their definition in left hand installations.. (see left-right hand programming on Page 11)..

1.With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position, the power disconnect switch turned OFF, disconnect the operator by using the manual disconnect lever, once the operator has been disconnected, manually move the gate by hand to within a foot of its fully open position (the foot of distance is necessary to allow for coasting of the operator after the limit switch is tripped).

2.Once the gate is in this position, adjust the OPEN limit nut until it activates the limit switch for open. Press down the detent plate and rotate the nut along the threaded shaft (see Figure 9).

3.After setting the open limit, move the gate to one foot from fully closed and repeat the process for the CLOSE limit nut (see Figure 9).

Limit Nuts Fine Adjustment

After finishing the rough limit nut adjustments, reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel..

  CAUTION 

If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set the Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the operator for the fine setting of the limit nuts. Failure to do so will result in over-shooting the limit switches, and can cause damage to the operator and/or gate. Refer to programming on Page 11.

1.Re-engage the operator using the disconnect handle.

2.Turn the power disconnect switch ON.

3.Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button.

4.After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.

5.Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete cycle. Adjust the open or close limit nuts again if necessary. Fine levels of adjustment can be made by adjusting a few teeth on the nut at a time. If the gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 12-13).
