INSTALLATION Step 7 Earth Ground Rod To operator Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length. - Page 17 INSTALLATION Power wiring 1. Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker. 2. Run the AC power wires to the operator. 3. Unplug the transformer. 4. Remove the junction box cover. 5. Run the AC power wires through the knockout in the bottom of the electrical box.

Page 20: Enter Manual Setup Mode
ADJUSTMENT Enter Manual Setup Mode NOTE: 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. Disconnect biparting gates before setting limits. Pay special attention if magnetic locks are installed. NOTE: While setting the Limits, all entrapment protection devices will be disconnected, and the Remote Control buttons can be used to move the gate as needed. -
Page 21: Automatic Force
ADJUSTMENT Automatic Force Once manual setup mode has been exited, all entrapment protection devices will reconnect and become operational. The operator will enter a force- sensing operation by automatically moving the gate. The operator will begin a pre-warning audible alert before automatically moving the gate for a full cycle (open and close). -
Page 22: Dual Gate Setup Wired
DUAL GATE SETUP Dual Gate Setup-Wired 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. Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies. - Page 23 DUAL GATE SETUP Bipart delay/synchronized close The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only with dual gate applications and serves two functions: • BIPART DELAY SWING GATE APPLICATIONS: The BIPART DELAY is used in applications where a mag-lock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one gate to close before the other.
