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 or post 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 20: Safety Section
SAFETY SECTION USAutomatic gate operators are certified to UL-325 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 21 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 All safety features required by UL-325 and more are incorporated in the capabilities of all USAutomatic Control boards and should be utilized, including but not limited to, safety edges, photo electric eyes, reverse sensing, and motion sensing. Cautions - Very Important Do not attempt to enter the gate area while the gate is moving.
- Page 23 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 24 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 25: Monthly Service / 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 26: Troubleshooting Guide
TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION OUTLINE My slide gate operator will not operate. Emergency release knob cannot be pulled. I can hear gate operator running but my gate is not moving. Gate operates slowly when opening or closing, may stop before cycle is complete. My gate will not automatically close. - Page 27 Limit Cam Nut - Two limit cam nuts are located on the top of the operator; the limit nut locking plate is spring- loaded and must be depressed before adjusting the limit cam nut. After limit cam nut has been adjusted make certain that the limit nut locking plate fully engages the limit cam nut to keep it from rotating.
- Page 28 NOTE: The USAutomatic multi stage charger does not output any voltage when disconnected from the battery, you cannot check charger by disconnecting from battery and measuring voltage output. To check charger output disconnect from battery, measure battery voltage and note. Reconnect charger and monitor battery voltage it should rise above the battery voltage noted above.
- Page 29 Gate opening or closing stops and reverses direction and then stops and will not operate STEP 1 This is most likely caused by an incorrect sensitivity adjustment. It could also be caused by an obstruction located in the path of the gate. STEP 2 Open the emergency manual release cover and pull the release knob.
- Page 30 Transmitter will not operate the gate STEP 1 Verify the battery in the transmitter is good. Also verify that the dipswitches inside the transmitter and receiver are set to match each other. Remove the receiver cover by squeezing the sides and the switches are located inside. Remove the transmitter cover and locate the switches.
- Page 31 STEP 5 Go to page 33 “Resetting receiver P2 relay to momentary mode” STEP 6 If this does not correct the problem return to troubleshooting section 5 and perform steps 1-6. STEP 7 If problem is not corrected, call the factory for further troubleshooting. 15.
- Page 32 Accessory Wiring Information USAutomatic Patriot gate operators are 12 vdc powered, solar charged operators do not require 110-vac for proper operation. Accessories that operate at 12 vdc can be connected directly to the control board or the battery. Proper accessory selection must be made so that the accessories installed do not drain the solar charged operator battery.

Page 33: Accessory Wiring Diagrams
Accessory Wiring Before wiring accessories to the Patriot control board remove the actuator connector plug from the control board, this will disconnect power from the unit while wiring. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the accessory being installed. Typically the accessory will have 4 wires that we need to be concerned with (this can vary depending on the manufacturer). - Page 34 Security Shunt – Used to control a Photo-Eye If installing a photo-eye on a solar gate operator the standby current draw of the photo-eye will drain the battery. The Patriot control board is designed to control the photo-eye to avoid this common problem. The Patriot control board will only apply dc power to the photo-eye when the gate is opened.

Page 35: Transmitter, Receiver, Keypad Programming
Step 11 Programming Transmitter and Receiver (model 433DSR2LC) The Transmitter and Receiver provided operate at 433 MHz. Receiver can store up to 22 unique transmitter codes. Transmitter Setup: (It is recommended that the dipswitches be changed from the default setting) 1. - Page 36 STEP 12 Programming wireless Keypad (model 433 KPD) Terms to understand: Master Password – The 5-digit code used to access programming features. Factory default is “11111.” This needs to be changed by the end user for security reasons. Access Code – The 1 to 5-digit code used to open the gate (24 unique codes are possible). If access code is less than 5 digits it requires the # sign after code is entered.
- Page 37 Changing Security Code This keypad has a virtual dipswitch used to create your Security Code. The virtual dipswitch contains nine 3- position switches. The default Security Code has all nine switches in the center position. To ensure neighboring keypads do not interfere with each other, the virtual switches should be positioned in a random pattern, using the following procedure.
- Page 38 Deleting Single Access Code: 1 Enter the Master Password. 2 Press the “7” key. If correct, 2 short beeps (if 1 long beep is heard, start over with step 1.) 3 Enter the Access Code to be deleted. 4 Press the “7” key. 5 Reenter the Access Code to be deleted.

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.
