GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Plans of Installation - Pull to Open Option This application is typically used to open the gate towards the inside of the property. The operator will “ PULL” the gate to open. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structures to reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and closing.

GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Plans of Installation - Push to Open Option This application is typically used to open the gate towards the outside of the property. The operator will “ PUSH” the gate open. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structures to reduce the risk of entrapment when opening and closing.
GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Mounting the Gate Operator ! Caution: If the supplied Arm Pivot Bracket is not attached to a frame member that runs the full length of the gate, the gate operator may damage the gate. DO NOT attach the bracket to just a few pickets.
GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Limits Setup STEP 1 Position the Limit Cams: 1. Position the gate to either the open or closed limit position. 2. Rotate the corresponding Limit Cam until the Limit Switch is engaged. The Limit Switch will “click” when engaged. TECHNICAL TIP: The Limit Cam can be rotated by hand with limited resistance and does not need to be tightened further.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MONITORED UL SENSOR CONNECTIONS Re-Open (Monitored Input Terminal) (Monitored Input Terminal) The “UL” input terminal protects against The “Re-Open” input terminal protects entrapment in both the opening and against entrapment in the closing closing directions. Input will reverse direction ONLY.
LIMIT INDICATIONS ! IMPORTANT: The gate operator uses positive stop limits. Therefore, the limits cannot be set electronically by this controller. The Limit Buttons on the control board have been rendered inactive by the controller. Refer to page 18 for specific instructions on how to set the limits for this gate operator..
