CAUTION - If mounting bar is not welded to a frame member that runs the full
length of the gate, the gate operator may damage the gate. Do not weld the bar or backing plate to a few pickets.
STEP 1
Release the clutch (see page 7). Cut the extension arms according to the desired plan of installation (Figure A on page 10).
Note: Leave some additional material when cutting the extension arms to allow for additional adjustment.
STEP 2
Position the pieces of the articulated arm with the gate in the closed position. Ensure that the dimensions correspond to the chosen plan of installation. Use C-clamps or tack-weld pieces to aid in the pre-installation process.
STEP 3
With the clutch released, move the gate manually from the completely open to the completely closed position. Verify that:
a) The gate and arm combination can
provide the desired operation.
b) The arm does not bind in its movement,
especially in the open position.
Note: The total travel angle of the primary arm on the output shaft determines the speed of the gate operation. The smaller the travel angle, the quicker the gate will open and close.

Tips for proper ground installation
A good ground in a gate operator installation will minimize or prevent damage to the operator cause by natural events such as lightning strikes.
The following will provide a guideline for proper grounding:
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground reference.
2. Consult your city code and be aware of under-ground services in the site of the gate operator to prevent inconveniences.
3. Use always a single bonding point for grounding.
4. All ground wires must be as short and as thick as possible.
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all ground wires.

Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide.
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.
IMPORT
ANT – Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the
vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual and the manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector).
• Gate size,
• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;
• Distance from the loop sensor wire to the gate either at the open or close position.

Vehicle loop detectors must be installed to decrease the possibility of vehicle entrapment on the gate (see page 20).
The SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION like the edge sensor and the photoelectric beam MUST BE PART OF EVERY SINGLE INSTALLATION to prevent pedestrian or animal entrapment (see pages 6 and 7).
The edge sensor and/or the photoelectric beam must be UL325 compliant devices.
Reopen Photo Beam
Note: Installing the photo beam in this way, allows the gate to re-open all the way upon obstruction of the photo-beam.

Radio Receiver
When connecting the Radio Receiver carefully verify the proper connections.
The maximum voltage that the control board provides for external accessories is the maximum voltage of the battery, which is about 28 volts.
In the event of an electrical short the board will protect itself by shutting down and will remain shut down until the short is corrected.
The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can control the gate:
Open-Stop-Close
1. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer OFF (see page 27):
Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follow: a) First command opens the gate, b) Second command stops the gate and c) Third command closes the gate d) Any subsequent commands will continue
in the same order to control the gate.
This type of configuration is not recommended for a commercial installations.
Open Only
2. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer ON (see page 27):
Each command of the radio transmitter is ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.
