Pre-installation Information
Before You Begin...
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If you find
damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential claim. Inspect your
package carefully. You can check your accessory box parts with the
enclosed packing slip for your convenience. Claims for shortages will
be honored for only 30 days from the date of shipment.
Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to ensure all
requirements for proper installation are present. Verify that the voltage to be
used matches the voltage of the operator. If you have any questions about
the requirements for proper installation of this gate operator contact
technical support at 800-421-1587
Always Check the Gate's Action
It's very important before installing the gate operator to make sure the
gate's swing is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If the gate
does not seem to operate properly, it may affect the operator performance
or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should also be designed so
that airflow is ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.
Gate Operator Classifications
All gate operators can be divided into one of four different classifications,
depending on their design and usage. Install this gate operator only
when the operator is appropriate for the construction and usage class
as defined below:
• Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home or for one to
four single family dwellings with a common garage or parking area
associated with these dwellings.
• Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial location or
building such as a multi-family housing unit of five or more single family
units, hotel, retail store or other building servicing the general public.
• Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as a factory or loading dock area or other location not
intended to service the general public.
• Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator
A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a guarded industrial
location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted
access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized
access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

Regulatory Warnings
Read the following before beginning to install this swing gate operator:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE
INSTALLATION SAFETY STEPS BEFORE
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Read the yellow "Safety Instructions" brochure enclosed with the packet
of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable, or you do not
have the safety instructions, please call Linear at 1-800-421-1587 to
request additional copies.
3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE
MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL
AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the operator
so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.
5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A minimum
of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the
gate where easily visible.
6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the gate.
7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the side of
the gate operator.
8. Do not adjust the operator controller's current sensing feature too high. It
should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely triggering
the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to operate. DO
NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!
9. You must install all required safety equipment.
10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric
controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.
11. 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.
