Retro-Fit Arm Option
When replacing an existing gate operator, the arm may not be able
to conform to the preferred arm position (90° from gate in open
position). The positions illustrated below can be acceptable as long
as the gate operator cycles smoothly and there is NO gate hesitation
when gate starts cycling in either direction.

Arms are NOT installed in LOCKED position.
If a vehicle tries to push gates
open, arms will give when NOT
in the locked position and allow
gates to move without damaging
the gate operators.
The tamper relay will be
activated for a few seconds
which will trigger a camera or
alarm system if desired.

optional remote power supply kit - max magic box
A remote power supply is for installations where it is too costly or difficult to trench a 115/230 VAC power line to the operator
but instead run a low voltage power line to the operator. A MAX Magic Box Kit (sold separately) is required to remotely install a
Remote MAX Megatron Toroid box.
Install the MAX Magic Box near the 115 VAC or 230 VAC input AC power source, up to 1000 ft away from gate operator.
NOTE: A MAX Magic Box kit is required for EACH gate operator when using dual gate operators.

Safety Loops
Are placed on each side of the gate to prevent
the gate from closing on a vehicle in it’s path.
They will stop or reverse the cycling of the
gate while a vehicle is in or near the gate’s
pathway.
Center Loop
Will ONLY HOLD the gate in the Full Open
Position when a vehicle is on the center loop.
However, it WILL NOT stop or reverse the
gate once it starts to close.
Exit Loop
Automatically opens the gate for exiting
vehicles without having to use a radio
transmitter (remote control). The exit loop
can be placed a minimum of 4 feet away from
the safety loop or far enough away from the
gate so it has opened by the time the vehicle
approaches it.
