SAFETY SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION SAFETY INSTALLATION INFORMATION 1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are 8. Controls intended for user activation must be located at least 6 feet (1.8 m) comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented component.
SAFETY GATE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION GATE CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION Vehicular gates should be installed in accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction. For a copy, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585 or www.astm.org. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1.3 A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to the roadway, between a fixed stationary object nearest the roadway, (such as a gate support post) Gates shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions given for the and the gate frame when the gate is in either the fully open position or the...
SAFETY REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES REQUIRED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: • Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may • Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and come near a moving gate.
SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INSTALLATION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: • Pinch points must be guarded at all times. Install enclosed-style gate tracks and • Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may roller guards.
• To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster part • ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS 29-NP712 for replacement batteries.

Consider the operator Proper grounding gives an electrical placement BEFORE installing the pad or post. charge, such as from an electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
INSTALLATION DETERMINE LOCATION FOR CONCRETE PAD AND OPERATOR + CONCRETE PAD & OPERATOR ATTACHMENT DETERMINE LOCATION FOR CONCRETE PAD AND OPERATOR STANDARD INSTALLATION 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.
INSTALLATION STANDARD INSTALLATION ONLY + REAR INSTALLATION ONLY STANDARD INSTALLATION ONLY DO NOT run the operator until instructed. 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.
WIRING WIRE THE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES + EARTH GROUND ROD WIRE THE ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES Entrapment protection devices are required.

For solar applications DO NOT use the expansion board and the wireless dual gate feature. These features will substantially decrease the cycle NOT AVAILABLE rate and standby time of the operator. We recommend LiftMaster low power NOT AVAILABLE draw accessories to minimize power draw, refer to accessory page.
The batteries are charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The batteries Jumper Black Wire are for battery backup. Model CSL24VH (with heater) set Turn OFF AC power to the operator. batteries in tray below the heater. Unplug the J15 plug labeled BATT on the control board by squeezing the plug and pulling it from the control board.
WIRING CONNECT BATTERIES CONNECT BATTERIES CONTINUED... 33AH BATTERIES The batteries are charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The batteries (without heater) are for battery backup or solar installation. The 33AH application requires the 33AH wire harness (Model K94-36596). NOTE: If 33AH batteries (2) are used, the battery tray underneath the heater will need to be removed to allow more space in the enclosure (if applicable).
WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY 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. Wired dual gate applications will have a longer battery standby time than wireless applications. WIRELESS DUAL GATES TO ACTIVATE THE WIRELESS FEATURE: Choose an operator to be the network primary operator.
WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY CONTINUED... WIRED DUAL GATES Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies. Use PVC conduit to prevent damage to cables. Disconnect ALL power to the operator and unplug the J15 plug from DUAL GATE WIRE TYPE (SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR CABLE) the control board.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate. children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT + OBSTRUCTION TEST FINE TUNE THE FORCE The FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments.
PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS + ERASE ALL CODES REMOTE CONTROLS (NOT PROVIDED) A total of 50 Security✚ 2.0™ remote controls 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.
FINISH INSTALLATION INSTALL THE COVER INSTALL THE COVER 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.
OPERATION RESET SWITCH + MANUAL DISCONNECT + OPERATOR ALARM + REMOTE CONTROL + HEATER (IF APPLICABLE) RESET SWITCH The reset switch is located on the front of the operator and serves several functions. NORMAL OPERATION Toggling the reset switch will stop a moving gate during a normal open/close cycle, like a stop button.
