  • Page 7: Pad And Mount

    B. PAD AND MOUNT Figure 4. Pad And Track Ribbon. Figure 5. Bolt Down Pattern. Figure 6. Conduit Entrance Areas. 1. The concrete pad must be sufficient to support the gate operator and the forces created by the moving gate. LiftMaster recommends a pad 20” wide by 30” long by 24” deep (Figure 4). 2.

  • Page 8: Power Wiring

    C. POWER WIRING 1. Provide a conduit stub for the AC power. 2. The gate operator requires a 115 VAC 20 AMP single phase circuit. 3. Be sure to pull a ground wire in the conduit for the connection to the gate operator. Important: Do not rely on metallic conduit for earth ground.

  • Page 10 WARNING For safety reasons, the Power Fail Operation Option is shipped with the battery unconnnected to the system. Do not connect the battery until all other installation and alignment procedures have been completed. Failure to observe this warning may result in the Power Fail Operation Option moving the gate at unexpected moments.

  • Page 11: Connecting Power

    CONNECTING POWER CAUTION Ensure that the AC power circuit breaker is turned off before wiring power to the switchbox. Run power cables through conduit to Gate Operator, then connect wires to the switch box as shown in Figure 11: 1. Wire nut the hot (black) wire to the black pig tail. 2.

  • Page 12: Power Up Procedure

    POWER UP PROCEDURE CAUTION If gate is positioned at the ‘open’ limit, gate will automatically close when power is switched on. Position gate either at the closed limit or at no limit when preparing to switch power on. Always use extreme caution and follow all warnings in the Safety Summary.

  • Page 14 NOTES: Overload setting (R72) is factory set. Do not adjust. Current flow varies with temperature. Do not tune the sensitivity measurements too finely, or they may change with the time of day or seasons. ♦ If your installation requires setting switch S1 the “Open to Right” position, use the “Open to Right"...

  • Page 15: Basic Gate Operator Programming

    "OPEN TO LEFT" ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES Left Gate Motion Adjustment (R160) 1. Initiate opening the gate. 2. Wait 4 to 5 seconds, then lightly "tug"against the edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle. 3. If the gate does not stop, reclose the gate and adjust the pot slightly counterclockwise. 4.

  • Page 16: Power Fail Operation Option Connection

    J. POWER FAIL OPERATION OPTION CONNECTION a) Power Fail Operation Option Connection CAUTION Perform the next step (battery hookup) with care. Interchanging battery wires temporarily opens the the resettabale fuse on gate operator board, disabling the power fail option. To ensure a safe installation, the gate operator is shipped with the battery partially disconnected from the Power Fail Option electronics.

    K. CONNECTING INPUT WIRING Figure 16. Control Board Wiring. 1. Remove the plastic control box cover. 2. Wire any external control devices to the appropriate connections on the control board (Figure 16). See Appendix A for details on how each control input affects the gate operator.

  • Page 18: Post Installation Procedures

    L. POST INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 1. Setup 1. Turn on the main power at the gate operator's circuit breaker. 2. Verify that switch S1 (the Gate Open Direction switch) is set to the correct position. 3. Turn on the unit power switch (on master/slave systems, turn on slave and then master). 2.
  • Page 19 7. Alternate Action 1. If you want the OPEN input (Entry system) or RADIO input (Transmitter) to both open and close the gate, disable ATG and RT in programming steps 6 and 8. 2. Activate the OPEN command, wait until the gate is fully open, then activate the OPEN command again.

  • Page 33 FUNCTIONAL INPUTS – The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and may be NOTES: momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command. Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command. — Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer. When the command (except Manual CLOSE and STOP) is cleared, the Reclose Timer is reset.
  • Page 34 SAFETY BAR Activation causes the gate to reverse for a programmable distance and stop. If Max Retry Count is enabled, gate waits a programmable pause time, then retries. The gate will retry up to twice before faulting out. RADIO INPUT (TB6) RADIO RECV Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a radio receiver.
