6. Power Connection for Two Part Battery Operators
The primary AC power must be routed to the DC power supply enclosure, but there must conduits
between the gate operator and the DC supply enclosure. Note: AC power is not needed in the gate
operator enclosure, unless there is an optional heater. Three separate DC circuits are required between
the battery supply and the gate operator. Heavy gage wires to supply the motor and two 14-gage
circuits for the controls. The heavy gauge wire must be at least 6-gauge if the DC supply is within 20
feet of the operator, but must be increased to 2-gauge if the DC supply is located farther from the
operator. For full details, review the section titled "Two Part Operators".
7. Replace the Vent Plug!
Remove the ½" steel or plastic shipping plug on the pump manifold (left rear corner) and replace it with
the supplied black breather cap.
8. Configuring the Smart Touch Controller
The operator controls will not allow the gate to function until the Smart Touch Controller has been
configured. Wait to connect the external controls until you have reviewed the Smart Touch Controller
instructions, and tested the basic functions of the operator.
Attaching Barrier Arms to the Operator
1. Bolt arm(s) to operator. The maximum length for a single wood board is 14' length. Wood arms that are
longer than 14' must be twin arms bolted together near the tip.
2. Counterweights must be used for all arms over 18' in length, to assure proper performance. Verify
proper balance by following step #2 on StrongArm (HTG 320) adjustments page.
3. Tubular aluminum arms may be single side mounted up to 18' in length. All arms over 18' must be
mounted into a center yoke adapter. Arms longer than 24' are aluminum/fiberglass and include cables
to make the arm more rigid, see the arm drawings for their proper location and installation.
Basic Testing
Test the operator for smooth control of the barrier arm. The arm should stop smoothly at each end of travel.
If any adjustments are necessary, carefully review the StrongArm (HTG 320) adjustments page. Do not leave
the job site without correcting an operator that is stopping abruptly on its limits or damage to the mechanical
drive components may occur.
If your operator is equipped with vehicle detectors, be certain that they are either unplugged or connected to
a loop so that they do not cause interference with the function of the machine. If the motor turns, but nothing
moves, reverse two poles of a three-phase power source, and/or verify that the bypass valve is closed. To check
the bypass valve, verify that the round black knob near the hydraulic hose connection point on the pump is not
toggled to the bypass position.
Install Accessory Items
1. After all basic functions are verified, and adjustments made, connect any accessory or external control
wiring.
2. Vehicle detectors: If vehicle detectors are to be used, review the section pertaining to detector loop
sizing and layout.
3. Button station operation: Install the push button control within sight of the gate arm. Be certain
the opening is clear before closing gate. Mount a sign, which advises that the area be clear before
operation, adjacent to button station.
4. Protection: Mount a photo eye below the arm and/or an edge sensor to the leading edge of gate
according to its manufacturers specifications.
Install Warning Signs And Safety Information Labels
1. Be sure to install all of the warning signs or labels that were supplied with this operator. If these labels
have been misplaced or lost, call your local distributor or the factory for replacements.
