HVG Series, Hydraulic Vertical Lift Gate Operators Application Chart To offer the greatest flexibility in design, we have created several models of the HVG operator series. The chart below should help you through the several choices. Standard lifting towers are 24' high. If your design calls for heavier than standard gate weights, taller lifting towers are available.
HVG EX features allowing operation of gates weighing in High speed version, up to 2 feet per second. excess of 2000 pounds. QUALITY SWING, SLIDE, AND BARRIER ARM OPERATORS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM HY-SECURITY GATE OPERATORS page 1 of 2 3/27/96 HV42a...

HVG LIMIT SWITCH, SETTING / WIRING INSTRUCTIONS For all HVG operators, eight conductors are required from the limit switch to the control panel. The limit switch is pre-set at the factory, to limit full travel in both directions. Fine tuning may be required in the field, to suit conditions.

NOTE: *NOTE: Since there is no counter balance for the initial operation, it may be necessary to assist the gate in opening. If necessary, use a fork lift, block and tackle or manpower for this operation. If the hydralulic pump runs and the gate does not move during this operation, no harm is done.

Field Hose Measurements for HVG and HRG Operators When field measuring for the necessary hose length to order, the following may be helpful: There is little room in the base of the HRG or the HVG operators and limited room in the control/power panel, therefore, your field measurements must be very accurate when calculating the length of the necessary hydraulic hoses.

Wire Size Schedules Wire Size Schedules Wire Size Schedules Wire Size Schedules Wire Size Schedules -hp through 5-hp motors Supplying a gate operator with the right electrical service is crucial to the way the performance of the operator the life of its electrical components. If the wire size used is too small, the voltage loss— especially during motor starting—will prevent the motor from attaining its rated horsepower.

Operator Maintenance Operator Maintenance Operator Maintenance Operator Maintenance Operator Maintenance Hydraulic System Under normal conditions, hydraulic systems do not consume oil. Before adding any oil, check the Fluid Level: system thoroughly for leaks. Remove the bright metal plug in the tank, fill to plug level, then replace plug. We recommend our Uniflow hydraulic oil, part number H-004, which is sold in one gallon containers by our distribu- tors.
