1 The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate,

2 All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 m) above the

ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that
portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position,

3 All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and

4 Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

B 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 in contact with
the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

C 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. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

D The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the

operator clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.

E For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:

1 The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving,

2 A gate operator shall additionally be provided with a placard that is marked in letters at least 1/4-in (6.4-mm) high with the word
“WARNING” and the following statement or the equivalent: “Moving Gate Has Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start

3 An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and

4 No other activation device shall be connected.

F Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is

prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a
security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

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

G

H A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.

I For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:

1 See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each Type of application,

Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and

2

3 One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable
by a moving gate or barrier.

J For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor:

1 One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing
edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

2 One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

3 One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

4 A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.

5 A wireless device such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions
shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures natural landscaping or
similar obstruction. A wireless device shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

6 One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge
of a swing gate is greater than 6 inches (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall
be located on the bottom edge.

7 One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

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.

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.

Battery power is reserved for back-up power
ONLY when an AC power failure occurs. As a
result, battery life is NOT shortened.
This low voltage system can CONTINUOUSLY

battery back-up mode

MAX setting ONLY

The Battery Back-Up Mode setting will determine how the gate operator will function during
an AC power failure. Gate operator with a full battery charge should cycle a 2000 lbs gate
(battery power ONLY) approximately 450 times.

LEAVE OPEN - The gate operator will continue to cycle the gate normally until the
battery power can no longer cycle the gate. When this happens, the gate will open
to OPEN position until power is restored, then gate will automatically close.

LEAVE CLOSED - The gate operator will continue to cycle the gate normally until
the battery power can no longer cycle the gate. When this happens, the gate will
close if not already in the CLOSE position, where it will remain until power is
restored. Enough battery power is retained for a LIMITED time to operate
emergency vehicle entry (Using opening devices connected to FIRE DEPT and/or

MAX OPEN inputs to FULLY open gate).

OPEN 1 TIME - The gate operator automatically OPENS gate and REMAINS in the
OPEN position. A open/close command or loop event is needed to close gate.

When turned “ON”; After a vehicle clears the Safety Loop, a closing
gate will PAUSE if a second vehicle attempts to tailgate. The second
vehicle must then back off the safety loop for the gate to continue
closing. A new radio signal will open the gate.

Radio Safety Pause

When turned "ON" a moving gate will pause if a radio input signal is
received. The next radio signal causes the gate to continue in the
original direction.

Radio safety pause

Turned ON - The radio transmitter (remote control) can PAUSE a MOVING
gate by pressing the remote button. Pressing the remote button again will
cause the gate to CONTINUE in the SAME direction. This process can be
repeated as many times as desired.

gate in motion alarms

MODE 0 - Turned ON - Alarm will sound BEFORE and DURING gate cycle
to alert surrounding area.
NOTE: A strobe light can be connected to UL ALARM connection that will
flash ON and OFF when the alarm is sounding. See page 32.

MODE 1 - Turned ON - Alarm will beep when using ONLY battery power
DURING gate cycling. This brings to attention that only battery power is
being used and NOT normal AC power.

obd port black box

On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port will download a simple .txt file to trouble­shoot gate operator errors and to view normal transaction logs.
Plug a USB flash drive into port. LED will flash while file is downloading.
When LED stops flashing, remove flash drive and plug it into any computer
with an available USB port and simple text reader software (typical).
The operator’s event history is stored as a simple .txt file. Contained in
the file is a log of the most recent 1000 events. Quickly identify and
diagnose a complex or intermittent problem. The file can even be
e-mailed to the factory for on site diagnosis if necessary. The files will
be stored as an ongoing event history of the transactions that occur at
the gate operator.

gate will PAUSE if a second vehicle attempts to tailgate. The second
vehicle must then back off the safety loop for the gate to continue
closing. A new radio signal will open the gate.

Radio Safety Pause

When turned "ON" a moving gate will pause if a radio input signal is
received. The next radio signal causes the gate to continue in the
original direction.

Gate Tamper

The GATE TAMPER can be used for various
functions such as turning a warning light, siren or
camera on when the gate is tampered with

Existing

Building

Alarm

System

(Vandalized Gate). The gate operator defines a
“Vandalized Gate” as UNAUTHORIZED movement
of the gate. This can occur if the red release
handle clamp is lifted and gate is manually moved
from the closed position or the gate is forced
open from the closed position without authorization.

TAMPER NO/Com Relay: Connect a warning light, siren, camera
or an existing alarm system to relay.

TAMPER IN/GND Input: Connect a sensor device to input. When
Tamper In/GND gets triggered, device that is wired to Tamper
relay (NO/Com) will activate.

UL entrapment LEDs

UL ENTRAPMENT LEDs will indicate when a OPENING DIRECTION
Photocell and/or Sensing Edge(s) have been activated. If alarm gets
triggered, press STOP button on Matrix 1 to turn alarm off.

An ON/OFF switch or 7-Day timer devices can be connected to the GATE DISABLE
input. When these devices are turned ON, they will DISABLE normal opening
devices such as keypad, exit loop etc. The FIRE DEPT/ MAX OPEN and RADIO
inputs will remain enabled when GATE DISABLE has been turned ON. This is
useful when the gated area needs to be secured from ALL but emergency or
authorized vehicle entry. Some examples are: Residential home vacation period or
during closed hours of a business when no one can monitor the property.

When GATE DISABLE is turned ON: The operator will beep for 3 minutes
BEFORE arming itself. This allows time to turn ON GATE DISABLE and

leave the property before it is armed.

reverse sensor (erd)

This operator is equipped with an ERD Sensor - Electronic Reversing Device (Type A) that functions as entrapment protection
according to UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction after encountering an obstruction in either the OPEN or
CLOSE gate cycle.

When the gate encounters an obstruction during the CLOSE cycle, it will reverse to the open position and PAUSE the gate. An
input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and close again.

When the gate encounters an obstruction during the OPEN cycle, it will reverse approximately 6 inches and PAUSE the gate. An
input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and open again.

For the ERD Sensitivity to function correctly:

• THE RELEASE HANDLE CLAMP MUST NOT SLIP when the gate encounters an obstruction.

• Limit switches must be learned BEFORE adjusting the ERD Sensitivity.

STOP Gate

Half-way

Position gate half-way open and STOP gate.
This gate position will put the most amount of
resistance on the ERD sensor when gate cycles.

2

CLOSE Gate

CLOSE gate. If ERD sensor triggers, reduce
sensitivity. If sensor does NOT trigger,
sensitivity is set correctly.

“Min” ERD Position 16 Setting

When solid gates are installed in:

• Unusually high wind areas

T

• Uphill opening gate

• Heavy gate

ERD sensor can be set to Min (position 16)
to keep the gate cycling normally in such
extreme conditions.

CAUTION: Minimum sensitivity setting

(position 16) results in gate exerting

MAXIMUM force before reversing direction.

maintenance

qualified gate operator technician

Maintenance and repair of the gate operator must be preformed by a qualified professional gate operator technician.
The following services need to be periodically performed:

• Check and adjust the gate operator’s force, speed, and sensitivity.

• Make sure all power (AC/DC) connections are corrosion free.

• Check all batteries for proper voltage.

• Check the incoming line voltage and confirm it is within 10% of its rating (115 or 230 volts).

• Verify battery backup functionality by turning off the power source (115 VAC and 230 VAC). Restore power after testing.

• Cycle gate system and lubricate with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant where needed.

• Test all contact and non-contact sensors, in-ground vehicle loop detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or any other access
control devices that are used to control the gate operator.

• Test the manual release feature.

MAKE SURE END USER/HOME OWNER KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY REMOVE GATE OPERATOR FROM SERVICE AND WHO TO
CONTACT FOR PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE.

Date Installed:

Installer/Company Name:

Operator

Phone Number:

end user / homeowner

Any repairs and modifications must be preformed by a qualified professional gate operator technician. If the gate or gate
operator ever malfunctions, end user/home owner needs to immediately remove the gate operator from service (manually
position gate (see manual release) in a desired prolonged position and turn ALL power OFF to the gate operator). End
user/home owner must call a qualified professional gate operator technician for any repairs and modifications.

The gate operator is virtually maintenance free to an end user/home owner, minimal maintenance is recommended to ensure
reliable operation.
End user/home owner:

• Scheduled maintenance should be performed approximately every six months by a qualified professional gate operator
technician, or when unusual noises are heard from the gate hinges and/or gate operator arm.

• DO NOT remove the operator cover to perform any normal maintenance.

• Lubricate gate hinges and gate operator arm periodically with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant and clean up all excess
lubricant.

• Make sure there are no vehicles or pedestrians in the path of the gate while performing maintenance.

• Make sure the person performing maintenance is the only person in control of all control devices in order to avoid possible
involuntary activation of the gate operator. Gate operator MUST be removed from service while maintenance is performed.

• Keep any water from landscape watering hoses or sprinkler systems away from the gate and gate operator area.

• Keep the area around the gate and gate operator as clean as possible.

• Keep any debris away from the gate’s swinging path.

• Test periodically (use caution) all safety sensors, in-ground vehicle loop detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or any
other access control devices that are used to control the gate operator. Make sure everything is working properly.

• Solar panel must be cleaned periodically if solar power is being used.

of any warranty items is made at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO 8 YEARS FOR THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR DC AND COVER,
5 YEARS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BATTERIES WHICH

megatron options / unique Features

“Like NO other Gate Operator in the World”

gate tamper feature

The GATE TAMPER feature will activate the relay when a number of security circumstances occur, making illegal entry almost
impossible when the gate operator is connected to a existing building/home alarm system. The GATE TAMPER relay will activate
when:

The gate is PHYSICALLY moved from the
closed position with EXTREME force.

The red release handle clamp is lifted and
the gate is pushed open from the closed
position without authorization.

The FIRE switch is turned ONLY if
the GATE DISABLE has been turned ON.

45

ALARM RET

megatron options / unique Features

“Like NO other Gate Operator in the World”

Gate disable feature

This unique GATE DISABLE feature is useful when the gated area needs to be secured from ALL but emergency and/or autho­rized vehicle entry. Some examples are:

• Residential home vacation period.

• During closed hours of a business.

The GATE DISABLE feature will allow the FIRE DEPT/MAX and
RADIO inputs to operate but nothing else. It helps with some
major security problems that can occur when no one is
available to monitor the property.

GATE DISABLE
prevents breaking into
a keypad box and
trying to trigger the
wires to get the gate
to open.

ate

Pl

EXIT LOOP

GATE DISABLE prevents trying to trigger

the exit loop to get the gate to open.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended activating GATE DISABLE while persons are present inside the property.

event history download

This unique EVENT HISTORY feature has an On Board Diagnostics (OBD)
port to download a simple .txt file to troubleshoot gate operator errors
and to view normal transaction logs. This file will log intermittent
problems with the gate operator that can be difficult to solve. This file
can even be e-mailed to the factory from out in the field at the job site for
additional technical support if necessary.
The event history can store up to 1000 transactions.
