Please Read This First
Thank you for purchasing the Mighty Mule Diamond. When correctly installed and properly used, your LPA Diamond operators will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your Diamond Automatic Gate Operators.
The Diamond operators are designed for installation on a pull-to-open dual leaf gates. The gates must not exceed 16 feet in length nor weigh more than 500 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications on page 1). The Diamond operators can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface
gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operators will obstruct, stop, and blow fuses.
The Diamond operators accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories are noted with the
The Diamond can be installed on push-to-open gates with the addition of two (2) push-to-open brackets
[FM148].
symbol.
The Diamond operators feature adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
The Diamond operators also have an adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again.
Please call LPA at (800) 543-4283 for more information about our professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a Mighty Mule dealer near you.

For The Consumer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual
could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion.
3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas.
4. The gate and gate opener installation must comply with any applicable local codes.
I. Before Installation
1. Verify this opener is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use, and the proper class rating.
2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the opener and safety devices used with the system.
3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the opener for manual gate operation (page iii).
4. This gate opener is intended for VEHICULAR GATES ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (page vi).
5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF A MOVING GATE.
6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
II. During Installation
1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener on the outside of the
gate where the public has access to it.
2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.
3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection against entrapment.
4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be
tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.
5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.
6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

III. After Installation
1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of auto matic gate operation. It is your responsibility to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements.
2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary.
3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.
4. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.
5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep ALL gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them.
6. KEEP GATE AND GATE OPENER PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to opener OFF before performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Apply silicone spray to a soft, dry cloth and clean the push-pull tube at least once a month.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates
Install Warning Signs
Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the LPA Gate Operator. The Warning Signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed
for pedestrian traffic. We recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock [FM145] for controlled access.
Entrapment Protection
The operator’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric
sensors), which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment
As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The Diamond utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the Diamond has provisions for the connection of Type B1 or B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.
1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]):
A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of
application.
B. 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.
C. 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.
2.
For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]):
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and
outside of a vehicular swing gate system.
B. A hard wired 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.
C. A wireless contact sensor 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 contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact” means of entrapment protection.

ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The Diamond Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

flexing and to avoid backsplash from rain water.
The Post Bracket Assembly
The position of the post bracket assembly determines the leverage and efficiency of the opener. The post bracket assembly position also sets the clearance between the opener and the gate in the open and closed positions.
The post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts. Because the post bracket carries the entire thrust of the active opener, bolts must completely penetrate the post.
On wood posts, place a metal plate or washer (not supplied) between the nuts and the post to prevent the thrust of the opener from pulling the bolts and washers out of the wood.
The post pivot bracket may not be necessary on posts larger than 6" in diameter (see page 6). Fence posts smaller than 6" in diameter or 6" square should be made of metal instead of wood to remain stable while the opener is moving the gate.
Reinforcing Gates for the Gate Brackets
We recommend using a muffler clamp, wood, or metal, to reinforce thin-walled tube gates, or wood to reinforce panel gates as shown. These reinforcement methods will prevent damage to the opener and gate. Additional hardware may be needed depending on the installation.

Installing the Second Arm
Install the second opener on the remaining gate leaf by repeating Step 3 through Step 11, starting on page 8. After you have mounted the second opener, proceed to Installing the Closed Position Stops below.
Installation of Closed Position Stops
The Diamond Gate Operators firmly hold the gates in the closed position using positive stops. The positive stops help stabilize the gate leaves in the closed position. To further
enhance stability and security, we strongly recommended using an optional GTO Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog) with your dual gate.
IMPORTANT: You need to determine which side of the driveway you will mount the control box. From this point on the gate and gate opener on the same side as the control box will be referred to as the MASTER gate and gate opener. The gate and gate opener on the opposite side of the driveway from the control box will be referred to as the SECOND gate and gate opener.
Illustration A
Step 1
Attach the horizontal closed position stop plate to the MASTER gate leaf.
Detach the gate operators from the gates and move the gates to their closed position (Illustration A). Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for tube or chain link; screw or bolts for wood or metal) attach the closed position stop plate (horizontally) about mid height on the MASTER gate frame. Do not tighten it completely at this time. Slide the stop plate toward the frame of the SECOND gate leaf until they touch (Illustration B). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely.
NOTE:
to close against. If you will be using the GTO/PRO Horizontal Gate Lock accessory with your gate opener system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.

Install a low profile ground stop (not provided) beneath the SECOND gate stop plate.
The ground stop needs to be positioned near the end of the gate as shown in Illustration A and may be made of metal or concrete and should be firmly secured in the ground (we recommend setting it in concrete).
Step 3
Illustration C
Attach a vertical closed position stop plate to the SECOND gate.
Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate attach the vertical closed position stop plate to the SECOND gate frame at the point where it will come in contact with the ground stop post.. Do not tighten it completely at this time. You must slide the closed position stop plate toward the ground stop until they touch (Illustration C). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely.
NOTE: For a push-to-open installation (gate opens out from the property) attach the closed position stop plate to the outside of the gate.
At this stage of the installation, the openers should be installed on the gate
leaves and the open and closed position stops should be in place.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE:
• The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge stranded, low voltage, direct burial wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000'.
• DO NOT use telephone wire or solid wire.
• NEVER SPLICE WIRES. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an adequate current.
Step 1
Make sure the power switch is OFF.
Step 2
Select the electrical outlet where you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid. (Allow for an additional 6” to be pulled into the control box).

The Stall Force potentiometer controls the the amount of force the opener will apply against an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction within two seconds.
IMPORTANT: The Stall Force setting will need to be adjusted to compensate for the weight and size of your gates. For safety reasons, use the lowest possible setting to operate the gate.
The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board operates like a volume control on a radio. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to turn the arrow in the center of the potentiometer. Adjust the sensitivity from the MINIMUM position just to the point where the gate operates smoothly without obstructing from its own weight or wind conditions.
NOTE: You may need to increase the stall force in cold weather due to increased resistance from gate hinges.
Set Auto-Close Time
The Auto-Close determines how long the gate will remain open before it automatically closes. The factory setting is OFF. Use a small flat blade screwdriver, you can adjust the settings to OFF, or from 3 to 120 seconds.

Push-To-Open Installation Information
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A “Push-to-Open” gate opens out from the property (operator arm extends to open the gate). A Push-To­Open installation requires the purchase of a Push-To-Open Bracket
In a Push-To-Open installation the operator is installed while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.
Install the Operator
Follow directions for installing the Diamond beginning on page 7. The Push-
To-Open installation diers from the Pull-To­Open installation in the following ways:
1. In a Push-To-Open installation, the arm fully extends to open the gate, and it fully retracts to close the gate.
(C)
2. You will install the operator while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION
(arm fully retracted). (A)
3. You must use the Push-to-Open Post Pivot Bracket Post Bracket assembly. (B)
4. IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for 2” clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions (see diagram below). This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area. (C)

Column Installation
If this operator will be used with gates that are mounted on masonry, brick, or rock (etc.) columns, read the following carefully before proceeding
A. The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum
clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength.
B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re-
hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the column.
C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power
cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!*
