U L 3 2 5 M O D E L C L A S S I F I C A T I O N S The SW470 and SW490 are intended for use with vehicular swing gates. The opener can be used in Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV applications.
S A F E T Y I N S T A L L A T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component.
G A T E C O N S T R U C T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N Vehicular gates should be installed in accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585 or www.astm.org.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SWING AND ORNAMENTAL "GRILL TYPE GATES" WARNING WARNING To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: CAUTION • Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate. • Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.
POST MOUNTING (SW470) 1. Locate and anchor two posts made of 3" (7.6 cm) outer diameter heavy walled pipe. Posts should be parallel and square to the gate. IMPORTANT NOTE: The distance between mounting posts and the relative location of the operator to the gate and fence is critical.
PAD MOUNTING (SW470) 1. Layout the concrete pad (Figure 1). IMPORTANT NOTE: The relative location of the operator to the fence and the gate is critical. Be sure that the measurements for operator mounting are taken from the centerline of the fence and of the gate hinge.
PAD MOUNTING (SW490) 1. Measure the gate length and select appropriate “P” dimension from the gate installation table. 2. Layout the concrete pad as detailed in Figure 1. IMPORTANT NOTE: The relative location of the operator to the fence and the gate is critical. Be sure that the measurements for operator mounting are taken from the centerline of the fence and of the gate hinge.
CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY (SW470) 1. Set the control arm stop on the operator in the positions appropriate for the installation (Figure 1). 2. Install the arm channel to the hub assembly to the operator output shaft. 3. Secure the arm channel to arm hub with 1/4-20 black plastic knobs provided (Hub is factory installed - Figure 2).
CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY (SW490) 1. Set the control arm’s close stop on the operator so that its position corresponds with the handling of the installation (Figure 1). 2. Remove the open stop, as it is not to be used in this application.
CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY (SW490) continued Gate Hinge Open gate position 90º 2" 34" Closed gate stop Control arm hub assembly Control arm extension Output Shaft 13" MANUAL DISCONNECT MODEL SW470 1. Remove the (2) black knobs securing the control arm to the operator (Figure 1).
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST not be performed until disconnecting the electrical power and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
ON/OFF SWITCH POWER WIRING NOTE: Before running power wiring refer to wiring specifications on page 15 for correct wire gauges. Secure all electrical power connections inside the disconnect switch electrical box. Refer to electrical wiring diagrams on pages 31-33. IMPORTANT: On three phase operators, power connections must be properly phased.
WARNING PROGRAMMING THE RADIO RECEIVER CAUTION SET SECURITY MODE The Universal Receiver can be used with up to 15 315 MHz rolling code remote controls or PINs in HIGH security mode. Alternately, it can be used with up to 31 of any type 315 MHz remote control in NORMAL security mode, including any combination of rolling code, billion code, or dip switch remotes.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT NOTE: For limit location and configuration refer to Figure 1. 1. Before turning on power, disconnect extension arm from gate bracket so gate is no longer connected to operator. Push manual release pin(s) up through the control arm, slide clevis pin in place and secure with a cotter pin.
RPM SENSOR (HALL EFFECT) ADJUSTMENT NOTE: Normally the RPM sensor (hall effect) does not need adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping vibration or rough handling. These operators use an internal entrapment protector system. This system consists of the control board, magnet, and RPM sensor.
SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS) The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to areas such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is controlled by two gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure or ornamental gate such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate...
ACCESSORY WIRING All inputs are normally open and momentary, except the stop (N.C.). The following instructions are based upon UL325, and include recommendations for significant increase in safety. We strongly recommend that you follow the UL guidelines presented throughout the manual. Refer to instructions shipped with optional control devices for mounting, wiring, programming and adjustment.

ACCESSORY WIRING Field Wiring Terminals 9 & 5 - Obstruction Open (Edge/Photo Eye Input) Edge Input: See Programming Section This input will reverse an opening gate to the close limit. Activating this input when the gate is closing will have no effect. NOTE: If upon reversal a second separate obstruction is detected (gate edge or RPM sensor), gate will stop and alarm.

These LEDs will be illuminated when the microcontroller relay drive is activated. LED NAME Contactor A Contactor B Lock Alarm TROUBLESHOOTING LEDS There are 9 troubleshooting LEDs.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH S1) NOTE: For all S1, S2 and S4 switch settings to take effect, the Save Mode switch must be set to the off position. TIMER-TO-CLOSE ENABLE This switch enables the auto close timer. The timer to close feature works in conjunction with the potentiometer located on the board.
