Installation Make sure the gate is level and swings freely. The gate must not have a wheel. Determine if it will be a pull-to-open (swing in) or a push-to-open (swing out) setup. Typically, the gate will swing in toward the house, which is a pull-to-open setup. Sometimes the gate must swing out towards the street, for example when the driveway slopes up to the house, which is a push-to-open setup.
Page 7 PULL-To-Open Installation Steps This is for a gate that will swing in towards the house. The operator is mounted on the inside and pulls the gate open. NOTE: The operator shaft will be fully extended when the gate is closed and fully retracted when the gate is open.

extends out of the bottom of the control box. Connection should be made in a weather tight junction box. All high voltage wiring must be in conduit. The cables for the safety photo beam, exit wand, wired keypad and wired intercom are not required to be placed in conduit but it is highly recommended to do so in order to protect them and to be able to more easily replace them.
Page 13: Battery Backup
The Charge Controller stops charging the batteries when they exceed a set high voltage level, and re-enable charging when battery voltage drops back below that level. Press left/menu button to step through the settings. The main display shows the current level of the battery in Volts. Press the left/menu button once to see the Float or CV voltage.
Page 14: Mount The Control Box
Mount the Control Box Locate and mount the control box somewhere close to the primary operator arm. Also mount a weatherproof junction box underneath the control box for 110V AC. Run the Operator Arm Cables to the Control Box Run the two-conductor cable from the operator arms to the control box. Only two conductors are needed for each arm.

Page 16 How to change the programming code: Enter the current installer code, for example 0000 (expect one long beep) Press 69# (expect one short beep) Key in new 4-digit installer code followed by the # key for example 4640# (expect one long beep and one short beep) Keypad will automatically exit programming mode Installing Safety Photo Eye We offer two types of photo eyes: through-beam and reflector.
Page 17 Connect Common on the photo eye to COM (5) on the control board. (All Commons and Negatives from all photo eyes connect to the same terminal COM (5) on the control board.) Test the photo eyes by activating the gate and then blocking the beam. The gate will reverse.

For a Single gate: Output 1 N.O. --- “SIDE1” (3) Output 1 COM --- “COM” (5) Positive + --- “VCC” (10) Negative - --- “GND” (11) (Could also use “SWIPE” but then you can’t close the gate by keying in the code again.) Installing a Radio Receiver The control board includes its own radio receiver, and two remotes come with the system.
