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.
Upon observation of the satisfactory
arrangement of the articulated arm and
bracket, weld all pieces securely. Paint the
arm to protect it from rusting.
STEP 5
Upon test of the installation, loosen the
clutch and rotate it until it lines up with the
notches in the Output Shaft. Insert the
Clutch Key.
STEP 6
Check the Clutch adjustment. The Clutch is
shipped factory adjusted. The clutch must be
tight enough to prevent slippage in normal
operation.
Check the tightness of the Clutch:
A. Remove the Clutch Key from the clutch.
B. Attempt to move the gate by hand.
C. If slippage occurs:
1. Loosen the Locking Handle 180°
Tighten the opposite bolt.
2.
3. Tighten the Locking Handle 180°
4. Check the tightness of the clutch again.
NOTE – For proper operation of the Clutch,
keep the gap between the Clutch halves
even when adjusting (the Clutch will have
to be removed from the Output Shaft in
order to adjust the Release Handle bolt).

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.

WARNING – Connecting the plug backwards can result in damage to the Control Board
1. Decide which Operator will be the Master
and which will be the Slave.
2a. Install the “Master” Viking Blue Module on
the Master Control Board.
2b. Install the “Slave” Viking Blue Module on
the Slave Control Board.
Use care in connecting the plug to the Control
Board. The pins are small and easily bent.
Match the white dot on the plug to the white
dot on the control board (near the JP2 legend
as depicted).
3. Install the Jumper (near the JP3 legend
depicted). Viking-Blue requires this jumper
to operate as a Master/Slave device. The
“Low Battery” LED will turn ON, indicating
the Control Board is ready for use with the
Viking-Blue Module.
4. Attach the Viking-Blue Module to the
Operator. For better communication and
performance follow these guidelines:
• The Module must be under the Operator
Cover.
• The Modules must be facing each other as
18
much as possible.
The Light on the Viking-Blue module will turn
green upon connection between the other Module.
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.
1
Open Commands
2
As an alternative to the Outside Reopen Loop,
a photo beam unit can be used as shown.
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 in the power to the accessories, 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 29):
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 29):
Each command of the radio transmitter is
ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.
External supply for the magnetic lock must
be provided. This will prevent rapid drainage
of the battery in the event of power failure.
Relay Contact 10A-250VAC

Connection Locations
Viking Access Systems can supply an
excellent Magnetic Lock unit (part number
VA-MAG13). See page 24 for more details.
Solenoid Connection
External supply for the solenoid connection
must be provided. This will prevent rapid
drainage of the battery in the event of
power failure.
Relay Contact 10A-250VAC

Guard Station
The guard station provides control of the
gate operator to open, stop and close the
gate.
All three switches must be Normally Open
type of switch, and can share the same

common (ground).
Place the control switch box within sight of
the gate, away from moving parts of the
gate and out of reach of children.

Auto-Open Feature
The Auto-Open feature in Viking Gate Operators enables the following functionality in
the event of power failure:
a) Open the gate in case of power failure (120 or 220 VAC).
b) Keep the gate at the open position as long as the there is no power.
c) Resume to normal operation when the power has been restored.
The Auto-Open feature allows proper operation while opening in case of power failure
for the following devices:
• All accessories,
• All safety devices,
• All entrapment protections.
The only operation that can not be executed while opening in case of power failure is to
CLOSE the gate.
To enable the Auto-Open feature : Use the
“jumper” provided and place it on the pinheader of JP3, on the terminals close to C35 as
the illustration indicates.
Once you put the “jumper” on the control
board the “Check Motor” light will come on
indicating that the Auto-Open feature has been
enabled.
The gate operator contains a unique design that allows the user to move the gate
manually in case of power failure.
Fail Safe:
If the operator has been installed with an
Elbow Arm, the Clutch Key can be removed
and the gate can me moved manually with a
relative low amount of force.
Fail Secure:
This unit is shipped with the default fail
secure feature.
Connection Locations
Hold Open Timer
The Hold Open Timer function holds the gate at
the open position for a predetermined amount
of time, prior to closing automatically.
Set the Timer to the desired time, from 1 to
60 seconds.
If this feature is not needed, turn the Trim
Pot clockwise to the “off” position.
Note: The Hold Open Timer affects the “radio
receiver command” and the sequence of
