  • Page 6: Safety Information

    Safety Information Safety Information Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application.
  • Page 7 Safety Information STEP 2: DURING INSTALLATION Disconnect power at service panel before making any electrical connection. Avoid pinch points; be aware of all moving parts. Adjust clutch or load sensing device to minimum force setting. Do not overtighten clutch or adjust force setting above minimum. Install controls where user cannot touch gate while operating controls.
  • Page 8: Safety Precautions For Swing Gates And Ornamental "Grill Type" Gates

    Safety Information Safety Precautions for Swing Gates and Ornamental “Grill Type” Gates ENTRAPMENT ZONES Pedestrians must stay clear of the gate path, particularly the area where the gate can trap them, as shown in Figure 1. 01-G0610F3 Figure 1 Gate edges and/or photo-electric beams must be incorporated into the swing gate system to assist in the protection of people who may come near the gate operating system.
  • Page 9: Preparing The Installation

    Preparing the Installation Preparing the Installation Pre-Installation Check List Check the gate. It must operate smoothly and freely. If necessary, lubricate the hinges, adjust or repair the gate prior to operator installation. The gate must be level. Double check the size and weight of the gate to make sure that it is proper for this application.

  • Page 11 Preparing the Installation THREE BUTTON CONTROL (SEQUENCE OF OPERATION) Open, stop, close. Stop will override all other functions. If closing, open will cause the operator to stop and reverse to full open. If opening, close will cause operator to stop and reverse to full close position. ONE BUTTON CONTROL (SEQUENCE OF OPERATION) The one button control can be programmed to either function as described above or to function as a close button only.
  • Page 12: Installation

    If it does not, damage to the operator may result and the life expectancy will be greatly reduced. SW470 gate operators have provisions for both post and pad mounting. However, because of the high torque involved in most swing gate installations, pad mounting is the recommended method.
  • Page 13: Pad Mount Installation

    Lay out the concrete pad as detailed. Concrete depth should be below frost line or as required by local codes. Operator cabinets may be installed either parallel to the fence, the SW470 only perpendicular to the fence. CAUTION Be sure that the measurements for the operator mounting are from the centerline of the fence and centerline of gate hinge.
  • Page 14: Control Arm Assembly

    Installation Control Arm Assembly Set the control arm stops on the operator in the positions appropriate for the model and installation. Then install the control arm and hub assembly to the operator output shaft. Make sure key is inserted properly in keyway. Lock with set screw.
  • Page 15 Installation 01-G0665F4 Figure 9 Model SW 490: Attach control arm extension to arm hub with ¼ -20 hand screws and nuts provided as shown in Figure 10. Place hub onto shaft with key and lock on with set screw. Be sure rubber seal is on end of hub to keep water out of bearing.
  • Page 16: Gate Bracket Installation

    Install the gate bracket at the appropriate point on the gate (or angle, if used). As an alternative on the Model SW470 only, (2) 3/8 – 16 bolts and a nut plate are provided. Adjust arm length and then rotate the eccentric stop 180 degrees so that the small thickness is against the arm.
  • Page 17: Limit Switch Adjustments

    Installation Limit Switch Adjustments Limit switches are pre-adjusted at the factory and should require only slight adjustments to suit individual installations. Refer to Figure 14 to identify limit switches. CAUTION Never make adjustments before making sure that power is off and that operator direction is selected by dip switch #1, pin #2 for left or right hand operation.
  • Page 18: Electrical Power Connections

    Installation Electrical Power Connections CAUTION Make sure power is disconnected at the main power source and at the operator’s electrical disconnect switch before proceeding.

  • Page 24: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Troubleshooting A properly installed SW470 or SW490 operator will operate for many years with a minimum or service maintenance. It is important to note, however, that a binding or defective gate can severely reduce the life of the operator. The gate operation should be checked frequently as recommended by the manufacturer.
