CAUTION - If mounting bar is not welded to

a frame member that runs the full length

of the gate, the gate operator may

damage the gate. Do not weld the bar or

backing plate to a few pickets.

STEP 1

Release the clutch (see page 7). Cut the

extension arms according to the desired plan

of installation (Figure A on page 10).

Note: Leave some additional material when

cutting the extension arms to allow for

additional adjustment.

Remove Excess

STEP 2

Position the pieces of the articulated arm

with the gate in the closed position. Ensure

that the dimensions correspond to the chosen

plan of installation. Use C-clamps or tack-weld

pieces to aid in the pre-installation process.

STEP 3

With the clutch released, move the gate

manually from the completely open to the

completely closed position. Verify that:

A. The gate and arm combination can

provide the desired operation.

B. The arm does not bind in its movement,

especially in the open position.

Note: The total travel angle of the primary arm

on the output shaft determines the speed of the

gate operation. The smaller the travel angle,

the quicker the gate will open and close.

WARNING–Consult the installation instructions from the loop detector manufacturer. The following

statements are provided as a guide but different requirements may be required by the

vehicular loop detector manufacturer.

Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation

1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.

2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use

Table C (below) as a guide.

3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and

other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.

4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.

5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.

6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a

way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.

IMPORTANT – Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the

vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual and the manufacturer of the

vehicular loop detector).

• Gate size,

• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;

• Distance from the loop sensor wire to the gate either at the open or close position.

b) Keep the gate at the open position as long as the there is no power.

c) Resume to normal operation when the power has been restored.

The Auto-Open feature allows proper operation while opening in case of power failure

for the following devices:

• All accessories,

• All safety devices,

• All entrapment protections.

The only operation that can not be executed while opening in case of power failure is to

CLOSE the gate.

sensitivity level that triggers the Sensor.

Turning the Trim Pot clockwise

increases the sensitivity.

Turning the Trim Pot counter-

clockwise decreases the sensitivity.

When the Obstruction Sensor detects an

obstruction it will:

1. Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it

momentarily.

2. Bring the gate to a resting position.

3. Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the

Gate Operator receives a new command.

If another obstruction is detected before the

gate reaches either limit it will:

1. Stop the gate’s movement.

2. Bring the gate to a resting position.

3. Disable the Gate Operator.

UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to

go off after two consecutive entrapment

events sensed by the Inherent Entrapment

Protection of the Gate Operator.
