important BEFORE attempting to install, operate or maintain the operator, you must read and fully understand this manual and follow ALL safety instructions. DO NOT attempt repair or service of your gate operator unless you are an Authorized Service Technician. GATE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION Vehicular gates should be installed in accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction.

Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start. g) Le bouton d’arrêt, le bouton de réenclenchement ou ces deux boutons doivent être situés dans le champ de visibilité de la barrière. L’activation des commandes de réenclenchement ne doit pas mettre en marche l’ouvrebarrière.

gate safety installation Weld a horizontal bar across entire gate on any installation for strength. DO NOT weld the crossbar on just a few pickets, or they could bend. Make sure that the operator is mounted level or it will not function properly. Arm should be mounted at least 12 inches above the ground. Make sure there is slack in the operator cable.

gate safety installation DO NOT install on uphill or downhill gates. Install on back side of wall Moving Gate Can Cause Serious Injury or Death KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time without prior warning. Do not let children operate the gate or play in the gate area.
intended use of swing gate operator The operator is intended for use on a VEHICULAR slide gate ONLY. It is intended to be used WITH appropriate entrapment protection safety devices and in-ground vehicle loop detection system. This operator has a inherent entrapment protection system and requires additional external monitored entrapment protection devices (Non-contact Photo sensors or contact sensing edges) for each entrapment area prior to gate operation.
Swinging gates should not open into public access areas. Start by selecting max super arm 1300 Page 12-14 your model gate...

entrapment protection locations At least ONE entrapment protection device MUST be installed or the operator will NOT function. Typically it is the CLOSING direction photocell. Entrapment sensors MUST be installed in BOTH opening and closing direction of gate movement where entrapment or pinch point exist.

Adjust ERD Reverse sensor The ERD Sensor - Electronic Reversing Device (Type A) MUST be adjusted for the OPEN and CLOSE gate cycles. When the gate encounters an obstruction during the CLOSE cycle, it will reverse to the open position and PAUSE the gate. An input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and close again.
