Types of Installations Standard Installation Rear Installation...
Page 10 INSTALLATION Step 1 Determine Location for Operator Check the national and local building codes before installation. Standard Installation 1. The gate operator should be installed near the front roller of the gate. Lay out the concrete pad. 2. Install the electrical conduit. 3.
Page 11 INSTALLATION Step 2 Install the Operator Attach the operator to the concrete pad with appropriate fasteners. The gate operator should be installed near the front roller of the gate or near the back of the gate (in the OPEN position). The space between the gate and the output sprocket must be a minimum of 4 inches (10.2 cm). NOTE: An alternative to a concrete pad is to post mount the operator (refer to Accessories).
Page 12 INSTALLATION Step 3 Attach the Chain Standard Installation DO NOT run the operator until instructed. 1. Manually open the gate and line up the front bracket so the chain will be level with the idler pulley and parallel to the ground. Weld the front bracket in this position.
Page 13 INSTALLATION Rear Installation DO NOT run the operator until instructed. NOTE: This installation will require two extra idler pulleys. Make sure all exposed pinch points are guarded. Refer to Gate Construction Information on page 5. 1. Move the back pulley to the bottom hole in the operator. 2.
Page 14 INSTALLATION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: • ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment • Entrapment protection devices MUST be located to protect in BOTH protection systems for each entrapment zone. the open and close gate cycles. •...
Page 15 INSTALLATION Wire Entrapment Protection Devices There are three options for wiring external entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the manual included with your entrapment protection device for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors.
Page 16 INSTALLATION Step 5 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 All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings. 240 VAC only The accessory outlet is disabled and cannot be used with the 240 Vac option.
Page 18 INSTALLATION AC power switch The AC Power switch on the operator will turn the incoming 120/240 Vac power ON or OFF. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. Outlet Housing Step 7 Connect Batteries Red Wire...
Page 19 INSTALLATION 33AH battery The batteries are charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The batteries are for battery backup or solar installation. The 33AH application requires the Solar Harness Kit (Model K94-37236) and an additional battery tray (Model K10-34758-2). 1.
Page 20 INSTALLATION Step 8 Dual Gate Setup 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. Use only the same operator models in a dual gate setup. Wired dual gate applications will have a longer battery standby time than wireless applications.
Page 21 INSTALLATION Wired setup DUAL GATE WIRE TYPE (SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR CABLE) 22AWG up to 200 feet (61 m) 18AWG - 200-1000 feet (61-305 m) Use only the same operator models in a dual gate setup. Before Wire must be rated at 30 Volt minimum digging, contact local underground utility locating companies.
Page 22 INSTALLATION Step 9 Install the Cover Before installing the cover, follow the instructions in the Adjustment section to adjust the limits and force. The operator cover consists of two pieces: a rear cover and a front cover. The front cover can easily be removed to access the electrical box. To access the reset switch slide the access door up.
Page 23 INSTALLATION Step 10 Install Warning Signs Installers MUST install the UL required warning signs. The signs MUST be installed in plain view on both sides of each gate installed. Use the fastening holes in each corner to permanently secure the sign. Place warning signs on both sides of the gate in clear view...

Page 25 ADJUSTMENT Fine Tune the Force Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments.
Page 26 PROGRAMMING Remote Controls (Not Provided) ® A total of 50 Security+ 2.0 remote controls or KPW250 keypads and 2 keyless entries (1 PIN for each keyless entry) can be programmed to the operator. When programming a third keyless entry to the operator, the first keyless entry will be erased to allow the third keyless entry to be programmed.
