SAFETY

Safety Installation Information

1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.

2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design and installation must reduce exposure to potential hazards.

3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every gate system design. Specific safety features include:

• Edges Sensors (contact)

• Guards for Exposed Rollers

• Photoelectric Sensors

• Screen Mesh

• Instructional and Precautionary Signage

4. Install the gate operator only when: a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.

b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inches (6 cm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

5. The gate operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the pedestrian access such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.

7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.

8. Permanently mounted access controls intended for users to activate, must be located at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.

9. For a gate operator utilizing a Stop and/or Reset button, it must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed in the area of the gate. Each warning sign is to be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on which the sign is installed.

11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor: a. See Install Entrapment Protection section for placement of noncontact sensor for each type of application.

b. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.

c. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor: a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

b. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to mechanical damage.

c. A wireless device such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless device shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

INSTALLATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone.

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone who may come near a moving gate.

• Entrapment protection devices MUST be located to protect in BOTH the open and close gate cycles.

• Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate and RIGID objects, such as posts, walls, pillars, columns, or operator itself.

Step 4 Install Entrapment Protection

Entrapment protection MUST be installed according to the following UL

325 requirements:

• Slide gate operators require a minimum of two external monitored entrapment protection devices to function; one in the open direction and one in the close direction.

• Every installation is unique. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that ALL entrapment zones are protected with an external monitored entrapment protection device, protecting both the open and close gate cycles.

• LiftMaster monitored external entrapment protection devices

MUST be used with LiftMaster operators to meet UL325 requirements, see Accessories .

• Test ALL entrapment protection devices after completing installation of the operator. For testing instructions, refer to the manual provided with your entrapment protection device.

Definitions

ENTRAPMENT: The condition when a person is caught or held in a position that increases the risk of injury.

SLIDE GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE: An entrapment zone exists if at any point during travel, the gap between the gate and any opposing fixed edge or surface such as posts, walls, pillars, columns or operator itself, is less than 16" (406 mm) in a location up to 6 ft. (1.8 m) above grade.

INSTALLATION

Wire Entrapment Protection Devices

There are three options for wiring external entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the manual included with your entrapment protection device for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors.

Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.

Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.

Control Board

CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT

(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.

CLOSE EDGE

(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.

OPEN EYES/EDGE

(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4 seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.

INSTALLATION

Step 5 Earth Ground Rod

Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.

1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.

2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.

NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to lightning and surge damage.

To operator

Check national and local codes for proper depth

Step 6 Power Wiring

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator

MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.

• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator

MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.

• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.

• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram.

• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.

The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled.

• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.

The operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or a solar panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application. The battery is charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The operator requires one 7AH battery (provided) or one 33AH battery. The 33AH application requires the 33AH wire harness (Model K94-37236).

For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits.

All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P,

CL2R, or CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings.

SOLAR APPLICATIONS: For solar applications refer to Solar Panels section in the Appendix. Follow the directions according to your application.

ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the Limits and Automatic Force


• Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or

KILLED by a moving gate.

• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.

• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with an object.

Manual Adjustments

Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit and force adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the gate will stop in the open and close position. The limit setup

LEDs (located next to the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons) indicate the status of the limits, refer to the table to the right.

The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control

(refer to Limit Setup with a Remote Control in the Appendix). Setting the limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP.

NOTE: While setting the limits, all entrapment protection devices will be disconnected, and the OPEN and CLOSE Test buttons can be used to move the gate as needed. During the Automatic Force Setup, all entrapment protection devices will be reconnected, and the gate will automatically open and close

NOTE: The TEST buttons on the control board will not work until the limits have been set and the required entrapment protection devices are installed.

ADJUSTMENT

Enter Manual Setup Mode

NOTE: For dual gate applications, the limits will have to be set for each operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting the limits and force. Disconnect biparting gates before setting limits. Pay special attention if magnetic locks are installed.

NOTE: While setting the Limits, all entrapment protection devices will be disconnected, and the Remote Control buttons can be used to move the gate as needed. During the Automatic Force Setup, all entrapment protection devices will be reconnected, and the gate will automatically open and close.

For slide gate applications, the open limit and closed limit must be set up at least four feet apart.

1.

To enter manual set up mode, make sure that both SET OPEN and

SET CLOSE LEDs are flashing. If they are not flashing, press and release both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons.

Reversal Force Dial

2.

The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory. You will be able to adjust the force setting after the initial Manual Setup.

Once initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the

Control Board is used to fine tune the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. See Fine Tune the

Force below.

All Settings 1-10: Automatically increase the force due to gate wear or temperature changes

ADJUSTMENT

Automatic Force

Once manual setup mode has been exited, all entrapment protection devices will reconnect and become operational. The operator will enter a forcesensing operation by automatically moving the gate. The operator will begin a pre-warning audible alert before automatically moving the gate for a full cycle (open and close). During movement, the operator will continue with an audible alert. At successful completion of the automatic force setup, the audible alert turns off and the Diagnostic display will read ‘00’. The operator is now ready for normal operation.

If the automatic force setup does not complete successfully, the operator will reenter Manual Setup Mode. Return to Step 1 of Manual Adjustments.

NOTE: If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise. See

Fine Tune the Force below.

Fine Tune the Limits

To adjust the limits, start at Step 1 of the Manual Adjustment section.

Fine Tune the Force

Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The force setting is the same for both the open and close gate directions.

Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel.

1.

Enter manual set up mode: press and release both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE limit buttons. Both Limit LEDs will turn on solid (see Limit LED table above). The operator will beep once. This will cause all entrapment protection devices to be disconnected.

2.

Adjust the reversal force dial for the installation. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.

All Settings 1-10: Automatically increase the force due to gate wear or temperature changes.

3.

Exit setup mode by pressing and releasing both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons. Limit LEDs will turn off. All entrapment protection devices will reconnect and become operational.

4.

Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit and force setting adjustment.

Note: Automatic Force Setup will not run if only the force setting was changed

Obstruction Test

The operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the gate reverses all the way to the limit. The following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing device:

1.

Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.

2.

Place an object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Make sure that any external entrapment protection devices will NOT be activated by the object.

3.

Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the object. If the gate does not reverse off the object, reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the open and close limits, but MUST reverse after contact with an object.

4. Repeat the test for the open direction.

Test the operator after any adjustments are made.

NOTES:

• Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks.

• Limits may have to be reset after any major drive chain adjustments.

• If lubricating chain, use only lithium spray. Never use grease or silicone spray.

• It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a digital voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the operator is within ten percent of the operator’s rating.

31

MAINTENANCE

Batteries

Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage. The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low. Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use only LiftMaster part

29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of properly.

The operator comes with one 7AH battery. One 33AH Battery (A12330SGLPK), with 33AH Battery Harness (K94-37236) may be used in place of the 7AH battery.

Drive Train

Over time, the drive chain on the operator will stretch and need to be tightened. To tighten the drive chain adjust either of the two chain eye bolts.

NOTE: The chain should have no more than 1 inch of sag for every 10 feet of chain length.

32

TROUBLESHOOTING

To protect against fire and electrocution:

• DISCONNECT power (AC or solar and battery) BEFORE installing or servicing operator.

For continued protection against fire:

• Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.

Solution

No Action Required

Disconnect all power, wait 15 seconds, then reconnect power (reboot). If issue continues, replace main control board.

Check APE assembly and wiring connections. Replace the APE assembly if necessary.

Check for an obstruction, then reprogram the limits.

Was the control board just replaced? If so, erase limits, enter limit setup mode and set limits. If not, disconnect all power, wait 15 seconds, then reconnect power before changing product ID harness.

Unplug product ID harness then plug back in. Disconnect all power, wait

15 seconds, then reconnect power before replacing product ID harness.

Limit may be set too tightly against a non-resilient hard stop (re-adjust limit). Operator may be at end of travel (re-adjust mounting).

Reversal Force Dial Setting was changed outside of Manual Setup Mode.

Return the dial to the previous setting to clear the code or enter and exit

Manual Setup Mode for the change to take effect.

Too much voltage on the battery. Check harness. Make sure there is NOT a 24V battery on a 12V system.

Possible short of the battery charge harness. Check harness. Make sure you do NOT have a 12V battery on a 24V system.

Check battery connections and installation. Replace batteries if depleted to less than 20V on a 24V system or less than 10V on a 12V system.

Make sure there is NOT a single 12V battery on a 24V system.

Failure or missing loop (SHORT or OPEN - LiftMaster Plug-in Loop

Detector only) Check loop wiring throughout connection. May be a short in the loop, or an open connection in the loop.

Replace batteries in wireless edge.

The limits are less than the minimum requirement or longer than what was learned. Check limit positions and proper switch function. Rundistance can be re-learned by setting the handing again.

AC/DC board supply dipped below allowable level. Review power supply and wiring. If rebooting, ensure enough time for discharge of power to force a fresh boot.

Check the second operator for power. If OFF, restore power and try to run the system. If powered, deactivate the wireless feature and then re-learn the second operator.

Review monitored entrapment protection device connections. Slide gate operators require a minimum of two external safety devices; one in the close and one in the open direction.
