Wiring Speci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. TYM 1000 Only: Electrical outlets are supplied in all
115VAC 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.

8. TYM 1000 is 115v 1ph 6.0 amp draw. TYM 2000 is
208/230v 1ph 4.7amp draw.

9. TYM 2000 operator is dual (208/230) voltage single
phase. No transformer tap change or motor rewiring is
required for either voltage.

10. EARTH GROUND REQUIRED see pg. 6

DC Control and Accessory Wiring

1. Open, Close, Stop control functions are 5 VDC. Use

20 ga stranded up to 2000’. Use 18 ga stranded from
2000’ to 5000’.

2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from
power wiring and conduits must be separated my
minimum 12”. 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
25 for details of this connection. Note: The shield wire
should be connected in both the operators.

TYM 1000/2000 Slide Gate Operator Installation Guide - 2 - Rev 9 02/14

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 72” above ground
level. On picket-style gates, if pickets are spaced less than
2-1/4” apart, mesh is optional.

Mounting Pad Specications

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.

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.

Gate Mounting Bracket and Chain
Assembly

Your gate should be hung level and move freely by hand in
both directions before attaching the operator drive chain.

Slide the gate to the fully open position. Line up the slot
in the chain mounting bracket with the bottom of the idler
wheel on the operator. Mark the leading edge of the gate
frame using the chain mounting bracket as a template. Drill
and mount the chain mounting bracket as shown in Figure

3.

Slide the gate to the folly closed position and mount the
other chain mounting bracket to the rear edge of the gate
frame the same way.

Attach the chain to both chain mounting brackets as shown
in Figure 4, route the chain through the operator as shown
in Figure 5.

Install chain support brackets as shown in Figure 6A or 6B
as applicable to gate style. Brackets should support the
chain but must not hit the operator. See Figure 1.

Adjust the chain to have 1-2” of sag between the chain
supports as shown in Figure 2.

Operator Preparation

Vent Plug Installation

In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,
gear reducers used in this gate operator 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 7).

With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather
pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 7).

lift the cover off.

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 Tymetal Corp. gate operators are supplied with a power
disconnect switch to turn on and off the power available to
the operator (see Figure 8). Following wiring speci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 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 sufcient
for a good earth ground.

3 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 10). 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 ip their denition in left hand installations.
(see left-right hand programming on Page 12).

1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid­travel 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 10).

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 10).

CAUTION

If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set
the Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the

operator for the ne 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 12.

Limit Nuts Fine Adjustment

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

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 13-14).
