Page 15: Step 6 Dual Gate Setup
INSTALLATION Step 6 Dual Gate Setup There are two options for dual gate communication: wired or wireless. Follow the directions according to your application. Do not use wired and wireless communication simultaneously. Wired dual gate applications will have a longer battery standby time than wireless applications. Wireless dual gates will require the installation of two control boxes, one for each operator arm. - Page 16 INSTALLATION Wired Setup Install a second operator arm: Install a second operator arm by following installation steps 1-2. Install the extension cable and junction box: Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies. 1. Trench across driveway to bury the extension cable. Use PVC conduit to prevent damage to cables.

Page 29: Manual Release
OPERATION Manual Release In case of a power failure, the operator can be disengaged from the gate. With an operator, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky, which is normal and has no effect on function. NOTE: It is normal for the operator to run slow right after a disconnect or complete loss of AC/ battery power (the operator will need to run a complete open and close cycle). -
