PRE INSTALLATION NOTES The LPX1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and Connections for External Entrapment Prevention Sensors assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is ruggedly built of Because all gate system installations are different, the LPX1000 control the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the panel provides independent connections for Open and Close non- factory.
: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN / INSTALLATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW WARNING! ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS! GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 104949 SAFETY CHECK LIST: • The LPX1000 operator may be installed on a Class I, II, III, or IV Vehicular Slide Gate.

: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN / INSTALLATION • Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3 at left. Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to minimize the risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and the roller. ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE MOVING GATE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM.
: PREPARING THE SITE THE CONCRETE OPERATOR PAD Installation requires the presence of a suitable concrete pad as a base for the operator. The dimensions of this pad should be at least 12" greater GATE ALLOW 24" CLEARANCE ABOVE than the dimensional pattern of the operator mounting holes. The top of OPERATOR FOR the pad should be 7"...
: PREPARING THE SITE Figure 7: Service Conduits GATE W A R N I N G ! 115 VAC LINE CONNECTION RISK OF ENTRAPMENT Vehicle detector loops will not detect smaller vehicles such as motorcycles, golf carts, bicycles, or pedestrians. Photoelectric detectors, edge detectors and separate pedestrian access must be installed.
: PREPARING THE SITE For a saw-cut installation, observe the method recommended in NO SPLICES ARE ALLOWED IN THE LOOP OR THE LEAD-IN Figurez8 for the corners. When installing a two-loop reversing system WIRE TO THE FIRST JUNCTION BOX Above ground splices may it is best to bring the twisted lead wires from each loop to the operator be used providing the wire is twisted, soldered and moisture sealed.
: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR ATTACHING THE CHAIN BRACKETS and PLACING THE LPX1000 OPERATOR The chain brackets provided with the LPX1000 operator are mounted on each end the gate with the centerline of the slot 8" above the top of the operator pad. You will normally require a welder, or an electric drill with a 3/8"...
: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR TERMINAL shunted to ground. This must be done without raising the potential of STRIP the circuitry in the LPX1000, with respect to ground, to the levels that 111872 will damage the solid state circuitry. Lightning strikes generate enormous currents for very short periods of time.

: STARTING THE OPERATOR The LPX1000 is shipped from the factory with the potentiometers set at W A R N I N G ! the minimum force setting. Turn the potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise to prevent the overload circuit from tripping due to the gate's inherent RISK OF ELECTROCUTION friction.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR MASTER/SLAVE CONFIGURATION 110127 Switch S3 controls the Master/Slave Terminals (#14 & 15) configuration setting. The setting is used when two control boards (boxes) are used in conjunction with two mechanical units. With Switch S3 in the ON position terminals # 6 & 7 (OPEN and CLOSE inputs) are in the Slave (input) mode and could be coupled to and would be controlled by a Master control board (box).
