Page 5: General Requirements/Gate Qualifications & Applications
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS General hand/tools such as wrenches [7/16, 3/4], tape measure, level, clamps, chain cutter, etc. are required. Your particular installation may require a drill, welder or other hardware not provided. Concrete pad mounting by a qualified installer is the recommended method of securing the operator.
Page 6: Importance Of A Properly Designed Gate
IMPORTANCE OF A PROPERLY DESIGNED GATE As a general rule, a gate, which is to be automatically operated, must be stronger and smoother than one, which will be manually operated. Since the gate is a major component of the system, great care and concern must be given to the gate design. A GATE OPERATOR CANNOT OVERCOME A POORLY DESIGNED GATE.

Page 19: Safety Section
SAFETY SECTION USAutomatic gate operators are certified to UL325 Vehicular Class I and Class II slide gate standards. UL325 identifies four different classes of gate operators. These classes are listed below: Class I: Residential vehicular gate operator- a vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one to four single family dwellings or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
Page 20 SAFETY SECTION INSTALLATION Install the gate operator only when: The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of the gate, All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2m) above the ground to prevent a 2 ¼...

Page 22 SAFETY SECTION Remedies for Safety Concerns Zone 1 Safety edges and photo electric eyes are the most common types of protection available. Direction of Gate Travel Contact Safety Edge Photo Eye Beam Zone 2 A safety edge may also be utilized here but the best remedy is to eliminate pinch points when designing the gate.
Page 23: Safety Section
SAFETY SECTION Remedies for Safety Concerns Zone 4 This area is best protected with a photo eye or contact edge wired to the secondary entrapment input or safety loop input depending on the desired function of the safety device. The beam should be installed parallel to the gate and extend across the drive area to prevent the gate from closing or opening on an object in the path of the gate.
Page 24: Troubleshooting Introduction
Time to open or close the gate, this will be first indication of a battery or charging problem. Troubleshooting Introduction The USAutomatic control board is equipped with three unique features to assist in troubleshooting a gate system. 1. The first and most helpful is the series of LED indicating lights. These lights will help to identify problems with the limit switches and all control circuits.

Page 34 Loops Loop Size Chart The loop size is based on the width of the driveway. If the driveway is 14' wide, the loop would be a 6'x6', the minimum. This is determined by subtracting 4' off of each side of the drive, which would leave you 6'. See chart below for number of turns per loop size, plus lead in.
