Mounting Pad Installation WARNING The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and opening.
Operator Preparation GEAR REDUCER Vent Plug Installation In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping, REMOVE THE gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid SOLID PLUG WITH AN ALLEN plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory. WRENCH For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with the vent plug provided (see Figure 2).
Gate Arm Installation (Cont.) GATES SHOWN OPEN Choosing Good Harmonics Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear on the operator. The gate will have smoother starts and stops GOOD when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5 HARMONICS HARMONICS! shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.

Basic Controller Programming Programming Overview PROGRAM The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator. INDICATOR The programming fi elds are defi ned as “functions” that have “options”. DOWN To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is divided into two groups: basic and advanced.
Basic Controller Programming (Cont.) Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm FUNCTION OPTIONS RUN ALARM OFF The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The "RP" PRE-START ALARM OFF operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The options are: RUN ALARM ON PRESS UP OR...
Advanced Controller Programming Entering Advanced Programming Mode FUNCTION OPTIONS ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each "AD" WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled. ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions WILL BE DISPLAYED will be available on the programming display during the next programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more...
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Stagger Delay Time FUNCTION OPTIONS STAGGER TIMER DISABLED This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory "ST" default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time sets the delay for the Stagger Mode. The Stagger Delay Time can be set SET STAGGER DELAY VALUE 1 TO 99 SECONDS from 1-99 seconds.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Shadow Loop Open Prevention FUNCTION OPTIONS STANDARD OPERATION If the shadow loop is triggered, it always prevents the gate from closing if "SP" SHADOW LOOP INHIBITS CLOSING ONLY the Auto Close Timer activates or a CLOSE command is given while the gate is at the full open position.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Soft Start/Stop Duration FUNCTION OPTIONS SOFT START DISABLED This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. This "SS" function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only). SET SOFT START DURATION TIME FROM 1 TO 10 SECONDS The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds.
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Mid-travel Stop Position FUNCTION OPTIONS MID-TRAVEL STOP DISABLED The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel "MT" (GATE RUNS FULL TRAVEL) point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to SET LENGTH OF OPENING TIME FROM 1 TO 99 SECONDS...
Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.) Radio Enable FUNCTION OPTIONS The Controller contains a built-in MegaCode radio receiver to allow "RA" INTERNAL RADIO RECEIVER DISABLED ® activation from up to 40 access control transmitters and two Model MGT (gate edge) transmitters. The factory default enables the internal radio INTERNAL RADIO RECEIVER ENABLED receiver.
Dual Gate Installations Gate Operation Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The operators Open Button communicate with each other through the 3-wire COMM LINK terminals. Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN button will override the When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection signals the other operator to activate.
Operation Indications MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any indicate current operating conditions and status. trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly Power-up Display status reports and will send low battery reports when the transmitter has a low battery.
How to Order Replacement Parts Use the part numbers listed on the following pages. Contact your local Linear dealer or distributor to order parts. 1. Supply the model number and serial number of your operator. 2. Specify the quantity of pieces needed and order by part number and name of part.

Model SWD Maintenance Battery Maintenance DC Motor Brush Replacement The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or maintenance. For assured continued performance, they yearly, whichever comes fi rst. The motor has two brushes, should be replaced every year.
General 2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace Linear gate operators are designed for many years of as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and conditions, will require only minimal maintenance.
Gate Operator Installation Checklist INSTALLER CUSTOMER ❑ ❑ The gate has been checked to make sure it is level and moves freely in both directions. ❑ ❑ Potential pinch areas have been guarded so as to be inaccessible OR have contact and/or non-contact obstruction sensing devices installed.
