Pre-installation Information

Before You Begin...

Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If
you fi nd 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 airfl ow is ample to prevent
wind resistance and drag.

Gate Operator Classifi cations

Safety Information and Warnings

THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES

IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION

This type of warning note is used to
indicate the possibility of damage to the
gate or gate operator.

WARNING

This type of warning note is used to
indicate possible mechanical hazards that
may cause serious injuries or death.

WARNING

This type of warning note is used to indicate
possible electrical shock hazards that may
cause serious injuries or death.

Regulatory Warnings

Read the following before beginning to install this swing
gate operator:

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY

STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed with the

packet of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable,

or you do not have the safety instructions, please call Linear at

1-800-421-1587 to request additional copies.

3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST

BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL

NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the

operator so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.

5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A

minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each

side of the gate where easily visible.

6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the

gate.

7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the

side of the gate operator.

8. Do not adjust the operator controller’s current sensing feature too

high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely

triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to

operate. DO NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!

9. You must install all required safety equipment.

10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric

controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.

11. 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.

Wiring Specifi cations

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 21 for details of this connection. Note: The shield

wire should be connected in both the operators.

Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum.
Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at
least as deep as frost line.

If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or
twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required.
Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this
problem as shown.

5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets
following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete
sets.

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.

✓ NOTE: Maximum gate opening angle is approximately 95 degrees,

depending on gate width. If larger opening angle is required,
non-standard positioning of the operator and modifi ed articulating
arms may be required. Contact the factory for technical information,
pricing, and availability.

Operator Preparation

Vent Plug Installation

In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in gate operators have 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 2).

With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).

Gate Arm Installation

The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm
supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.
After the proper length of the crank extension and link
section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded
to complete the assembly.

Setting Left or Right Hand Confi guration

The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the
factory in right-hand confi guration (the back of the overtravel
stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed
and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the
upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the
arm into a left-hand orientation.

Gate Plate Installation

The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended
height (24-7/8” above the top of the operator pad). The gate
plate supplied with the arm assembly can be welded to the
gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been provided for
securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.

Gate Arm Installation (Cont.)

Choosing Good Harmonics

Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear
on the operator. The gate will have smoother starts and stops
when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5
shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.

Installing the Gate Arm on the Operator

The hex cap screws (see Figure 6) in the side of the crank
assembly are shipped loose for placement on the operator
drive shaft. Once in place, tighten these cap screws in place
by applying 75 ft-lbs of torque. If it becomes necessary to
remove the crank, you can do so by loosening these bolts.
The arm can also be disconnected for manual operation of
the gate by removing the disconnect pin.

Setting the Arm Lengths

Most installations will use the standard dimensions specifi ed.
The dimensions shown in Figure 7 can be used to adjust and
set the arm. If non-standard mounting is required, contact
the factory for information.

Once the arm lengths have been determined, use clamps
to temporarily attach the solid bars to their sections of
rectangular tubing. If clamps are unavailable, you may also
tack weld the parts in place. It is recommended that you

check the arm for proper action and full gate travel
before fully welding the parts together. REMOVE THE
GATE ARM BEFORE WELDING! Apply Krylon® metallic

gold spray paint or equivalent to touch up welds when
fi nished.

Operator Setup

Controller Access

The Controller in models SWR, SWC and SWD is hinged for
access and can be removed without taking off the operator’s
cover. It swings down for installation, programming,
and troubleshooting access (see Figure 8). Under most
circumstances you will not need to remove the Controller.

To access the Controller, lift the metal tab below the AC
power switch and swing the Controller down. 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.

To remove the Controller from the operator, slide the
assembly to the right until the hinges release. Once freed,
you can turn the Controller slightly and remove it from the
operator. Be careful not to pull on the cables too hard.

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

All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power disconnect
switch to turn on and off the power available to the operator
(see Figure 9). Following wiring specifi cations 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 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 suffi cient 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 Cam Rough Adjustment

The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must
be adjusted for each installation. The limit switches are
activated by two rotating limit cams attached to the drive
shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right
hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom
cam is for CLOSE. The cams fl ip their defi nition in left hand
installations (see left-right hand programming on Page 12).

1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position,
the power disconnect switch turned OFF, and the torque limiter
set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate by hand to
its fully open position.

2. Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so
that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).

3. Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE
limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).

Torque Limiter Adjustment

✓ NOTE: The open and close current sensing may need to be adjusted

before performing the following two steps. See Page 13.

This operator may be supplied with an optional torque limiter.
Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in
good working condition. With the gate disconnected from the
gate arm, one person should be able to move the gate by
hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without binding
throughout its travel.

Torque limiters are set light at the factory. They must be
adjusted during installation, preferably after limit cams have
been manually set. With the gate arm and gate attached,
adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep it from slipping
during normal operation. The inherent entrapment protection
(current sensing) feature must activate prior to any slipping of
the torque limiter. See pages 13-14 for current sense setting.

To adjust the torque limiter in models SWR and SWD:

1. Loosen the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

2. Cycle the gate open and closed while observing the torque limiter
action. TURN THE OPERATOR POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH
OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

To increase the torque, turn the adjustment nut clockwise one fl at, or

1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.

To reduce the torque, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one

fl at, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.

3. When fi nished, tighten the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

Limit Cam Fine Adjustment

After fi nishing the rough limit cam adjustments and torque
limiter adjustment (if optional torque limiter is installed),
reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel.

1. Turn the power disconnect switch ON.

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

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

4. Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete
cycle. Adjust the open or close limit cams again if necessary. If the
gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close
Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 13-14).

Basic Controller Programming

Programming Overview

The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.
The programming fi elds are defi ned 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 fl ash. While
the display is fl ashing, 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

The factory default is for right hand operation (operator on right side of
the driveway when viewed from the inside of the gate). For left hand
installations, program the Controller for left hand operation.

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 21) and enable dual gate operation with this programming
step.

✓ 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.

Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)

Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm

The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The
operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The
options are:

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 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 open the gate. The
motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. Set the
programmed load number above the measured load 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.

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

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

Advanced Controller Programming

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.

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.

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 be energized at all times (enabling
a ticket dispenser) unless the operator is fully open 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 swing gate Model SWD. 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.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators.

Power Failure Mode

This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. 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.

Dual Gate Installations

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 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate
programming functions.

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.

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.

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 (open-stop-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.

SWR • SWC • SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 21 - 227965 Revision X13 3-28-2008

Open Loop

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Reverse Loop

Functions the same as the reverse input.

Shadow/Reset Loop

Only used with Swing Gates. 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 fi rmware version number
will be displayed for one second.

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

Idle Condition

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

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 operator’s cover.

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.

COMM LINK Connection Failure

In dual gate installations, if there is a connection failure
between the two operators, the COMM LINK indicator will
blink once a second. During this condition the gate will not
operate, except if triggered by the FIRE DEPT input, which
functions normally.

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
as follows:

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

Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace
transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble
indications.

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 fi ve 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

Operator fails to start

A. If the operator has been running a large number

of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and
tripped its thermal overload breaker. Allow the motor to
cool down and the thermal overload breaker will reset
automatically.

B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution

panel and that the power has not been turned off.

Motor operates, but gate does not move

A. In operators with torque limiters and friction pad clutches,

check for signs of slipping. You can mark the sprocket
and clutch with a yellow or white grease pen and watch
for the lines to move apart if slipping is taking place.
Adjust the torque limiter tighter if this is the problem.

B. Check for broken chain or worn belts.

C. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten

them if necessary, and check for keys which may have
fallen loose from keyways.

Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal

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

throughout its entire travel.

B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator

has one).

C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make

sure it is releasing.

from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Pacifi c time

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, if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley
is slipping. 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 9 for details on the control board indicators.

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.

C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the

operator will think the gate is already closed.

Limit switch getting out of time

A. Check the setscrews in limit cams for tightness. Replace

if necessary.

Model SWD Maintenance

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.

DC Motor Brush Replacement

Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or
yearly, whichever comes fi rst. The motor has two brushes,
one on each side.

Original brushes are approximately 3/4” long and should be
replaced when they are 1/4” long, or sooner. If brushes are
allowed to wear beyond this point, permanent damage to
the motor may result.

To inspect the brushes: (1) remove the retaining cap with
straight-blade screwdriver; (2) carefully pull assembly
straight out; (3) measure the remaining brush material.

To reinstall: (4) place the brush in holder, aligning the brush’s
rounded indentation correctly with motor shaft; (5) gently
push in the spring and align metal contact with oval slot in
the brush holder, then push it in with retaining cap. Hold the
cap in place and thread the cap into brush holder. Do not

overtighten or cap will crack!

Repeat for the other brush.

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

✓ Bearings — For models which have pillow block style

bearings with grease fi ttings, lubricate at least twice a
year with a lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2
rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not
require additional lubrication.

✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not

require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after
several years of operation, bearings should be replaced
by a motor repair company, or the motor should be
replaced if necessary.

✓ Swing Gate Arm — Check all bolts for proper tension

and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm folds
overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop
to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven
open. Adjust the close limit slightly if additional travel
is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light
machine oil.

6-Month Preventative Maintenance

1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check
for proper tightness. If there appears to be dust from wear
on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary. If
the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the
gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.

2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if
required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and
tighten if necessary.

3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain
and sprockets for wear and replace if necessary.
Check for proper tension and alignment, and adjust if
required. Check all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if
required.

4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,
etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit
switch assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a
light coating of dry lubricant.

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

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

7. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when
fi nished with inspection and maintenance.

8. 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.

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.

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 fi x as required.
Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse
effects on the operator.
