    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.
  • Page 5 : 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 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.
