There are two methods for determining the proper location of the post brackets. Either method will work depending on preference: Paper template (Located on the back page of this manual. -
Page 12: Step 3 Position The Operator
INSTALLATION Step 3 Position the Operator NOTE: The post bracket assembly can be mounted several places on the gate post. 1. Open the gate to desired open position (no greater than 100°) and hold operator against gate. 2. Place the operator arm against gate post at the desired position. Temporarily secure gate post bracket with clamp. -
Page 13: Step 4 Secure The Brackets
INSTALLATION Step 4 Secure the Brackets Post Bracket The gate operator (arm) must be level. 1. Mark holes for the post bracket. Remove the clamp and the operator, set aside. 2. Drill adequate holes in the gate post. 3. Secure the post bracket to the gate post using hardware. Gate Bracket The gate operator (arm) must be level. -

INSTALLATION To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual. MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power consulting the wiring diagram. -
Page 17: Step 8 Dual Gate Setup
INSTALLATION Step 8 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 18 INSTALLATION Wired Setup Install a second operator arm: Install a second operator arm by following installation steps 1-4. 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 19 INSTALLATION Wire the secondary operator arm to the control board: 1. Choose a knockout in the bottom of the control box. 2. Insert the extension cable through the watertight connector. 3. Insert the extension cable and watertight connector into the knockout.

INSTALLATION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and protection systems for each entrapment zone. close gate cycles. Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate who may come near a moving gate. -
Page 21: Wire Entrapment Protection Devices
INSTALLATION Wire Entrapment Protection Devices There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the specific entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. -
Page 22: Step 10 Install Solar Panels
INSTALLATION Step 10 Install Solar Panels Solar Zones Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the map below. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not supported in northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. - Page 23 INSTALLATION Solar usage guide Typical System Standby Battery Current Consumption (mA) System voltage Main board with no radios programmed 2.7 mA ® One or more LiftMaster remote controls programmed +1 mA ® device or wireless dual gate programmed +2.4 mA Expansion board +11.1 mA Per loop detector LOOPDETLM (up to 3 loop detectors can be plugged in to the expansion board)
- Page 24 INSTALLATION Position The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In general, the panel(s) should be mounted using the provided angle bracket facing due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of all obstructions and shade from buildings and trees. If the panel(s) is not casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.

Page 25: Step 11 Power Wiring
INSTALLATION Step 11 Power Wiring Wire the Batteries Wire the Solar Panels All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings. -
Page 26: Step 12 Finish Installation
INSTALLATION Step 11 Finish Installation 1. Turn the release lever clockwise 180° back to the engaged position. This engages the motor. The illustration shows the release lever in the engaged position. 2. Turn the key clockwise 180°. This locks the release lever. The operator is now engaged. - Page 27 ADJUSTMENT Initial Limits and Force Adjustments For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting the limits and force. If a mistake is made while programming the limits press the reset button to start over.
-
Page 28: Obstruction Test
ADJUSTMENT Fine Tune the Force Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory. -
Page 29: Programming
PROGRAMMING Remote Controls (Not Provided) ® A total of 50 Security+ 2.0 remote controls or KPW250 keypads and 2 keyless entries (1 PIN for each keyless entry) can be programmed to the operator. When programming a third keyless entry to the operator, the first keyless entry will be erased to allow the third keyless entry to be programmed. -

PROGRAMMING LiftMaster Internet Gateway (not Constant Pressure Override (CPO) provided) Constant Pressure Override is for use with KPW5 and KPW250 keypads (not provided). The KPW5/KPW250 wireless commercial keypads are To program the operator to the LiftMaster Internet Gateway: security keypads and can only be programmed to ONE gate operator (see Using the learn button on the opertaor's control the KPW5/KPW250 manual for complete programming instructions). -
Page 31: Operation
OPERATION Control Board Overview 1 SET OPEN Button: The SET OPEN button sets the OPEN limit. See Adjust Limits section. 2 SET CLOSE Button: The SET CLOSE button sets the CLOSE limit. See Adjust Limits section. 3 MOVE GATE Buttons: The MOVE GATE buttons will either open or close the gate when the operator is in Limit setting mode. See Adjust Limits section. 4 BATT FAIL: When AC power is OFF and battery voltage is critically low the gate will latch at a limit until AC power is restored or batteries voltage increases. -
Page 32: 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). -
Page 33: Operator Alarm
OPERATION Operator Alarm If a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice consecutively the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset. When the inherent force of the operator (RPM/current sensor) detects the following (twice consecutively) the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset. -
