UL325 Installation (OPTIONAL) Requirements for UL Compliant Installation UL 325 standard is a safety standard for electric gate openers. If the gate operator installation requires a UL325 installation, follow these instructions. For full instructions, visit the UL325 website. REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION A - Inherent (built-in) Entrapment protection System B1 - Non-contact sensor such as a photo-eye or equivalent B2 - Contact sensor such as edge sensor or equivalent...

UL325 Installation (OPTIONAL) Requirements for UL Compliant Installation Continued Additional UL Requirements • A minimum of two (2) warning signs shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible. • The gate must have sufficient room when opening and closing. Swinging gates should open inwards and not into public access areas.
Installation Step 1: Installing the Base The base, also known as a pad is a raised platform. We recommend using a concrete base. Lay out position of 6 wedge anchors by measuring clearance between anchors and inside edge of gate. Figure 1 Install underground conduits in area for conduits.

Installation Step 2: Door arm installation Figure 3 After you're satisfied with testing the arm in the full open and closed positions, weld gate bracket and arm. Figure 4 A. Should be at least 1/4 the gate length. NOTE: Uphill or heavy gates should be at least 1/3 gate length.
Page 7
Installation Figure 5 A. DO NOT allow the arm to touch the gate operator's hood when the gate is in the open position. Too much stress is put on the arm in this position during gate operation. Figure 6 Preferred arm position is 90° from the open gate. NOTE: If dimension between open gate and wall is 20"...

Installation Figure 7 Support bar should be installed at the gate bracket height across the entire gate to keep the gate pickets from bending.
Installation Figure 8 Figure 9 Step 3: Connecting the Power MUST use UL approved power wires, power wires MUST have minimum capacity for 15 amp current. 2. All operators MUST be properly grounded in order to prevent an electrical charge. Must use a dedicated circuit for power supply.

Installation Step 4: Open Direction See which direction your gate opens when viewed from the inside (exit side). Dip Switch #6 (Figure 10) on the bottom of the gate operator circuit board controls the open direction. = opens to the right, = opens to the left Figure 10 Step 5: Installing the Photo Eye...

Installation Step 6: Gate Travel Limit This controls the position of where the gate stops when it opens and closes. 1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the nails on the top and bottom limit cams 2. Turn left or right on both limit cams to adjust the position of where the gate opens and closes. Figure 9 TIP: Use the OPEN, CLOSE, STOP buttons on the gate operator circuit board for faster testing 3.

Features EMERGENCY RELEASE The emergency release allows you to open the gate manually, such as in cases where there is a power outage and there is no electricity. Opening the gate Disconnect power. Push release pedal downward and move slightly to the right until it is locked in. Hold and push gate to desired direction.
Features Entrapment Protection Safety and Exit Loop This is an optional step. If you wish to install a exit loop detector, see figure 15 for the position of the safety and exit loops. Figure 15...

Features Dual Gates Setup - Master/Slave This setup is for dual swing gates. A single button press of the remote control can open both gates. This requires 2 swing gate operators. One gate operator is the "Master", and the other is the "Slave". 1.

Features Connecting Additional Remote Controls By default, the remote controls are already connected to the gate operator. You do not need to do any of the following steps unless you are adding more remote controls. There are two ways to connect your remote control: Study Mode & Numeric Mode. Study Mode Study mode can fit up to 60 different remote controls.
The second vehicle must get off the loop before the gate closes completely. 5. SLAVE: Secondary operator activation 6. OPEN L/R: Choose gate open direction Left or Right.

Features Electronic Reversing Device (ERD) The Electronic Reversing Device (ERD) is a feature on the circuit board which detects when the gates comes in contact with an obstruction, causing the gate to reverse. The open and close knobs determine the amount of force required to reverse the gate (figure 22). We generally recommend leaving the knob at 75, or around a 3:00 position.
