16 - GATE DIRECTION REVERSAL
WARNING: GATE DIRECTION REVERSAL CAN ONLY BE

Gate Direction Reversal
If for some reason, the installer were to install the opener on the opposite
side of the gate from which the unit is programmed, and when you press the
OPEN button, the gate actually CLOSES, the installer will need to REVERSE
the direction of travel to match the buttons on the control board.
Press OPEN and note if the gate actually opens. If it does not, and instead is
traveling in a CLOSING direction follow the below steps to correct; (if already
in learning mode, follow the below listed steps)

18 - EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS
18.1 The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access
to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.
18.2 During normal powered operation, emergency vehicles access the gate
by use of the emergency vehicle access device installed on your gate
system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent
on your city codes. These devices may include (but are not limited to)
Fire Department lock boxes, Click-2-Enter radio receivers, strobe light
sensors, siren sensors, etc.
18.3 Check with your installer to determine if your gate system is equipped
with a back-up power system. In the event of a primary (AC) power
failure and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead
batteries for example), the system must have a release system to allow
the gate to be manually operated.
18.4 This operator is equipped with a manual release system that will allow
the gate to be pushed open in the event of a power outage or equip-
ment failure.

18.5 NOTE: Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator
shut-off.
18.6 The automatic vehicular gate system must be designed to allow access
to emergency vehicles under different operating conditions.
18.7 In the event of a power failure, the emergency vehicle access device
may not be functional because the gate operator is un-powered. NOTE:
DC powered back-up systems are optional and your gate system may
or may not be equipped with one. Check with your installer to deter-
mine if your gate system is equipped with a back-up power system.
18.8 The FAIL-SAFE manual operation system is the most reliable and saf-
est method for placing an automated gate in manual operation and is
the preferred method of emergency gate operation under worse case
conditions by many Fire Chiefs and Building Inspectors and is typically
used in CLASS I and CLASS II applications.
18.9 For manual fail-safe gate operation, turn power to the operator OFF. If a
backup power system is in use, be sure that this power is turned OFF
also. Once power is OFF, the gate can be manually operated, by using
the MANUAL RELEASE handle under the top cover.
