This manual contains important safety precautions and warnings for both the installer and end users or consumers of this automatic gate opener system. The following warnings and safety are intended to apply to the most common applications but may not apply to all possible installation and applications for these products. To reduce risk of injury or death:
I. Carefully read and follow all safety precautions, warnings, installation and operating instructions.
II.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE
GATE CONTROLS. Do not allow children or pets to play near the gate opener system. Keep all gate control accessories such as remote transmitters, keypads, and push buttons out of reach of children and store in a secure area when not in use.
III . Understand how to disconnect the power and manually open the gate (beginning on page 67)
BEFORE you begin using the gate opener system.
If you are unsure of any of these steps, please contact GHOST CONTROLS ® Technical
Support at 850-898-1411 or online at myghostcontrols.force.com/Support/s/ contactsupport.
IV.
Disconnect the gate operator from the gate only when the gate is not in motion and the opener system is turned off.
V. Moving gates can be dangerous. No one, including people or animals, should cross the path of a moving gate. Maintain a safe distance from moving parts and avoid any areas where hands or fingers could be pinched.
VI.
Become familiar with potential entrapment zones as shown below and avoid these areas when the gate is turned on.
VII . The gate opener system must be installed only in applications that it is specifically designed for including: frequency of use, length, and weight of the gate.
VIII.
Install the gate operator system on the inside of the property, gate, or fence line to prevent public access to it. Most applications are installed in a pullto-open configuration so that the gate opens into the property and away from any public roads.
IX.
The control board for the gate operator system should be protected from unauthorized access inside the control box to prevent tampering or adjustments to its setting once installed. The control box is designed so that a padlock can be attached to keep the box securely closed. An accessory Clevis Pin (AXCL) is available for purchase to secure the operator(s) to the gate with a padlock.
X. Keypads and push-buttons to activate the gate operator system must be a minimum of 10' away
IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT VISIBILITY TO
THE GATE so that the user can verify that any potential entrapment areas are clear of potential obstructions.
XI.
The included warning signs must be attached to each side of the gate to alert the public of the automatic gate operator system. Please contact
GHOST CONTROLS ® Technical Support for replacement signs if yours become damaged.
XII.
While the gate is moving do not drive into the gate area to prevent entrapment and potential damage to your vehicle, gate, AND the gate opener system.
XIII.
Do not attempt to “race the gate” by driving through the gate while it is opening or closing. This is extremely dangerous and can cause damage to your vehicle, gate, AND the gate opener system.
XIV.
Maintain the gate and the gate opener system to make sure that the gate continues to swing freely and is level throughout the entire swing path.
The gate hinges should be lubricated regularly, the condition of the battery checked every few months, and all connections checked no less than an annual basis.
XV.
In the event that you sell the gate opener system or your property with a system installed, please provide these instructions to the new owners.
The most recent version of these instructions can be found on our support website at myghostcontrols.force.com/Support/s/

Thank you for choosing a GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate Opener system, the most innovative gate opener systems available for residential applications on the market today. This manual will guide you through the proper installation and maintenance methods. To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. Following these directions is critical to a successful and safe operating environment.
1.
This gate operator is only intended for use on gates intended for vehicular access and is not intended for pedestrian gate applications. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.
2.
The GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate Opener can be installed on a pull-to-open application with the items included in the kit. For push-to-open applications you will need to purchase the required Push-To-
Open (item AXPO) bracket kit from your local retailer or visit ghostcontrols.com/shop or contact GHOST
CONTROLS ® Sales at 850-846-6400 to purchase.
3.
This GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate Opener features a patent-pending SafeForce ® power limiting feature that doesn’t require Photo Eyes for entrapment protection in most applications of a properly installed gate. During installation, you may instead choose to use external monitored safety devices such as non-contact photo eyes (item AXPE sold separately) and will need to enable this setting on the main system controller during setup.
4.
The operator can be used on a variety of gate types, but CAN NOT BE USED ON SOLID OR WOOD
PANEL GATES. Solid panel gates have a higher resistance to wind and may result in damage to the automatic gate operator.
5.
All GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate Operators include automatic reversing safety features that will make the gates stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds of encountering an obstruction. There is a manual setting on the main gate operator control board labeled
Force Setting that adjusts the sensitivity of this feature.
6.
This GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate
Operator can be enhanced with additional GHOST
CONTROLS ® accessories such as our remote transmitters, keypads, and all other accessories, sold separately. (Accessories see page 68).

CONTROLS ® . For additional assistance, please contact GHOST CONTROLS ® or by calling 850-898-1411.
Technical support myghostcontrols.force.com/Support/s/contactsupport
7.
Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing this automatic gate operator system to make sure your planned installation is in compliance.
8.
Your gate must be in good working condition before installation of the automatic gate operator system and meet the following criteria:
A. GATE CAN NOT USE WHEELS for support or
drag along the ground at any point in the opening
or closing cycle.
B.
GATE SHOULD BE LEVEL, PLUMB, AND
MOVE FREELY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS
WHEN MINIMAL FORCE IS APPLIED IN
THE OPENING OR CLOSING DIRECTION.
C.
Gate should NOT open uphill or downhill.
9.
The vehicular entry gate system must be installed in a location that prevents entrapment by providing sufficient clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing.
© G h o s t C o n t r o l s 2 0 1 9
14 S Y S T E M O V E R V I E W
10 . When planning a system that will allow entry from a busy road or highway, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion.
11 . Swing gate systems must not open into public access areas or into the road which could cause collision with a moving vehicle.
12 . Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
13 . SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN GATE IS REQUIRED!
14 . Single or dual gate operation based on the size of your opening, gate specifications, and operator system capacities.
A. Dual gate operations require trenching across the driveway so that the power cable for the secondary gate operator can be buried. (shown in diagram below)
B. The power cable should always be enclosed in PVC conduit for protection, including when buried across the driveway in dual gate applications.
15 . Swing direction of gate(s). The image (shown in diagram below) indicates the more common “Pull-to-
Open” installation and the less common “Push-to-
Open” installation.
16 . Vehicle Sensors should NOT be used on properties that contain livestock or animals.
17 . SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PREPARE THE GATE
Proper installation, care, and ongoing maintenance of the gate is critical to increased usage life of the automatic gate operator system. The following items should be considered and addressed if needed PRIOR to installation of the automatic gate operator system:
1.
The gate must swing freely throughout its entire range of motion (fully open to fully closed) remaining plumb and level. The gate should not swing uphill or downhill when opening or closing.
2.
The gate must not drag on the ground at any point during its motion and MUST NOT BE SUPPORTED BY
ROLLERS OR WHEELS.
3.
Extremely heavy gates that exceed 200 lbs in weight per leaf should be mounted with ball bearing hinges that include grease fittings.
4.
The gate should be mounted to a very stable post or column that is secured in the ground with concrete. Securing the post with concrete reduces the twisting effect that the torque of the gate places on the mounting post/column when moving through its range of motion. Installation is not recommended on any post or column that is not installed in the ground with concrete.
5.
The front mount of the gate operator should be attached to the gate securely. This may require modifications to the gate design or surface to maintain this secure mounting location.
6.
The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely with minimum effort in both the open and closed directions without hindrance.

NOTE
Push-to-Open installations REQUIRE an accessory Push-to-Open bracket kit (AXPO).
7.
Mounting location on gate and support post, column, or wall.
A. Wooden posts should be at least 6" x 6" in size and set in concrete.
B. Metal round posts should be at least 3 " in diameter and set in concrete.
C. Metal square posts should be at least 4" x 4" in size and set in concrete.
D. Additional mounting bolts may be required if the included bolts are not at least 1 " longer than the diameter of the post.
8.
Location and mounting point of control box and battery box. Arm cable length determines how far away from operator arm that you can mount the control box. THE ARM CABLE CANNOT BE SPLICED OR EXTENDED. PLEASE CALL
TECHNICAL SUPPORT (850-898-1411 M-F 8AM-5:30PM EASTERN TIME) IF YOU NEED TO EXTEND THE
LENGTH OF THE OPERATOR ARM CABLE(S).
9.
Power source to charge the battery (Solar Power vs. AC Power via transformer)
A. Never use Solar Panels AND an AC transformer on a gate system at the same time or you will damage the main control board and void any warranty.
B. The AC transformer is designed for indoor use and must be protected in a weather resistant box (that meets code in your area) if it will be mounted outside.
10 . If choosing to use an AC transformer for the battery recharging power source, you should consider the distance from an outlet to your battery box.
A. No more than 1000 feet of low voltage wire may be used between the AC transformer and the gate operator system due to electrical losses. If your application exceeds 1000 feet in distance, you must use Solar Panels for your power source to recharge the batteries.
B. WIRE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. We offer and recommend 16 gauge
STRANDED, 2-CONDUCTOR low voltage wire.
C. The transformer should be on a circuit that is protected by a GFCI plug or breaker.
11 . If choosing to use a Solar Panel for the battery recharging power source, you should consider the distance from an outlet to your battery box.
A. No more than 100 feet of low voltage wire may be used between the Solar Panel and the control box.
B. WIRE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. We offer and recommend 16 gauge
STRANDED, 2-CONDUCTOR low voltage wire.
C. Solar Panel should face south away from trees, and other obstructions that would inhibit getting full sun.
12 . How to exit the property and trigger opening operation of the gate (push button, remote transmitter, keypad, or vehicle exit wand).

P L A N N I N G 17
DETERMINE MOUNTING LOCATION ON GATE AND SUPPORT BAR
You must determine where to mount the gate operator vertically on your gate system. Your gate MUST HAVE A
HORIZONTAL BAR ON THE GATE TO MOUNT THE FRONT OF OPERATOR TO. Each gate is unqiue and Ghost
Controls does not provide this in the kit.
Top Mount
The following three options should be considered when planning your installation:
■ TOP MOUNTING — The gate operator is not recommended to be mounted to the top of the gate because the operator may cause twisting or flexing of the gate while in motion.
■ CENTER LINE MOUNTING — This is the most common and recommended method for mounting an operator to the gate system.
■ BOTTOM MOUNTING — The gate operator must be mounted high enough off of the ground so that it does not come in contact with standing or flowing water which will damage the system. This mounting location may cause undesirable twisting or flexing of the gate while in motion.
Center Mount
Bottom Mount
OPERATOR REAR MOUNT INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The GHOST CONTROLS ® Automatic Gate Operator system is designed for installation on rectangular, square, or round posts (for 3 " or 4 " round steel posts, we offer the AX3R AND AX4R ROUND POST ADAPTER ACCESSORIES) or columns. The rear bracket must be level and secured to the mounting post or column with bolts, nuts, and washers because this bracket will experience a tremendous amount of force during operation of the automatic gate operator. Proper positioning of the rear mounting bracket is critical because it determines:
■ Leverage and stability of the operator as it applies force to move the gate
■ Necessary clearance between the operator in both the closed and open positions

The gate can be opened or closed manually by releasing the front mount from the gate.
You must disconnect the operator only after the operator power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving. If you have the accessory ZombieLock ® installed, this lock should be manually disengaged with the key because removing power does not unlock this lock.
1.
Move the gate operator control box switch to the off position. The gate operator is battery powered so unplugging the AC transformer does not turn the power to the operator off.
2.
Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the FRONT mount of the gate operator.
3.
Swing the operator out of the way of the gate.
4.
Swing the gate to the fully open position and temporarily secure it to prevent the gate from freely swinging.
