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 public 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 design. Specific safety features include:

• Edges Sensors (contact) • Guards for Exposed Rollers

• Photoelectric Sensors • Screen Mesh

• Vertical Posts • 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 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 gate 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. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

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

8. Controls intended for user activation 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. The Stop and/or Reset (if provided separately) 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, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.

11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor: a. Reference owner’s manual regarding placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application. See Install Entrapment

Protection section.

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.

d. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6 inches (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.

e. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

• Pinch points must be guarded at all times. Install enclosed-style gate tracks and roller guards.

• Place screen mesh 6 feet (1.8 m) high on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel.

• Mount controls at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the gate or ANY moving part of the gate.

• Install Warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW.

Permanently secure each Warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes.

• This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at any point during full movement of the gate.

• Contact sensors MUST be located at the leading and trailing edges, and post mounted both inside and outside a horizontal swing gate.

Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric sensors MUST be mounted across the gate opening and operate during BOTH the open and close cycles.

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

• Locate entrapment protection devices 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 or walls.

• 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 a rigid object.

• To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging more than 18 inches (46 cm) deep.

• ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment.

INSTALLATION TIPS

DO's

• Weld a horizontal bar across entire gate on any installation for strength. Make sure that the operator is mounted level or it will not function properly.

• Make sure there is slack in the operator cable.

• The operator can be mounted on top of the gate frame.

• The operator must be installed at least 12 inches from the ground.

Operator Cable

DON'Ts

• DO NOT install upside down.

• DO NOT install next to sprinklers or any area that may expose the bottom of operator to water.

• DO NOT install on uphill or downhill gates.

• DO NOT install on ANY pedestrian passageways, doorways, or gates.

• DO NOT over-bend the operator cable. Doing this will cause the wires to eventually break.

• DO NOT weld the crossbar on just a few pickets, or they could bend.

INSTALLATION

STEP 1

NOTE: The ideal installation measurements are A = 7-3/4" (19.7 cm) and

B = 8-1/2" (21.6 cm). If different measurements are used, the sum of A and B cannot be greater than 18" (45.7 cm).

POSITION THE BRACKETS

If this operator is a replacement for a Miracle-One™ operator, use the existing post bracket and gate bracket. Remove the Miracle-One™ operator from the brackets and proceed to the next step.

1. Close the gate.

2. Choose a vertical mounting location for the post bracket.

3. Place a measuring tape under the center of the gate hinge point and measure out dimension A (see chart).

4. Use a screwdriver or dowel rod to temporarily mark the location of the first measurement (Figure 1).

5. Measure out dimension B (see chart) from the previous mark. Use a screwdriver to mark the location of the second measurement

(Figure 1).

6. Align the post bracket as close as possible above the screwdriver or dowel rod and tack weld the post bracket in the desired vertical position.

7. Position a level on the post bracket and measure 35-1/2 inches (90.2 cm) over from the center hole of the post bracket and mark the location on the gate (Figure 2).

8. Measure 2-1/4 inches (6.4 cm) down from the previous mark and center the bracket on this mark (Figure 3). Tack weld the gate bracket in this position.

NOTES:

• There should only be a maximum of 4" (10.2 cm) from the center of the hinge to the edge of the post or column (Figure 1). If the distance is greater than 4" (10.2 cm) entrapment protection for this area is required.

• While the gate is in the fully open position, the operator needs a clearance of 11-1/4" (28.6 cm) as shown (Figure 2).

INSTALLATION

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. We recommend that you install an edge sensor BEFORE proceeding with the control station installation.

• 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.

SET THE BIPART DELAY (SINGLE CONTROL BOX)

Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate will need to open first and close second. This would happen if there was an ornamental overhang on one gate or if using a solenoid lock, for example. This gate is called the

Primary gate and needs to be connected to Gate 1 connections on the control board. Thus, it is preferred that the control box be installed on the same side as this gate. If there is no appropriate location on that side for the control box, then mount the control box on the opposite side, but connect the operator closest to the control box to the Gate 2 connector and the operator on the opposite side to the Gate 1 connector.

1. The BIPART DELAY switch on the control board needs to be set to the ON position.

The following illustration shows a dual gate configuration with a decorative overlapping piece on the outside of the gate.

SET THE BIPART DELAY (DUAL CONTROL BOX)

BIPART DELAY/SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE

The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used with dual control box applications and serves two functions:

• BIPART DELAY: The BIPART DELAY is used in applications where a mag-lock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one gate to close before the other. The control box with the LOCK/BIPART

DELAY switch ON will delay from the close limit when opening and be the first to close from the open limit.

• SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE: The BIPART DELAY is also used in applications where one gate travels a longer distance than the other.

To synchronize the closing of the gates, set the LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch to ON for both control boxes.

INSTALLATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

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

• Locate entrapment protection devices 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 or walls.

STEP 7

INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

At least one external monitored entrapment protection device is required prior to gate movement (effective January of 2016). A monitored device sends a pulsed signal to the operator so the operator is aware of the device. If the operator does not receive the signal from the device it will not run.

An entrapment zone is every location or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a stationary object. All gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment protection systems for each entrapment zone. This operator contains an inherent

(internal) entrapment protection system and REQUIRES the addition of an external entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone.

Your application may contain one or many entrapment zones. Property owners are obligated to test entrapment protection devices monthly.

NON-CONTACT SENSORS

If the photoelectric sensor beam gets blocked while the gate is moving, the gate will stop and reverse for 4 seconds. The gate will not be able to travel in that direction until the obstruction is cleared. CPS-UN4 or CPS-RPEN4GM monitored photoelectric sensors MUST be used. If a monitored photoelectric sensor is not working or loses power or the beam is blocked, then ALL gate operation in that direction will stop.

Sensors for Open Cycle

NOTE: If the distance between the open gate and the wall is less than

16" (40.6 cm) entrapment protection for this area is required.

INSTALLATION

STEP 7 continued...

INSTALL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the wiring diagram or the specific entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. NOTE: Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.

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 for 4 seconds then stop, 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.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• 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 a rigid object.

INTRODUCTION

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 electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the gate. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the limits but should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the control board (refer to Fine Tune the Force section) to compensate for environmental changes.

The limits can be set using the control board (following page) 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: The Test Buttons on the control board will not work until the limits have been set.

ADJUSTMENT

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT continued...

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.

INITIAL LIMITS AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT

If a mistake is made while programming the limits press the reset button to start over.

1. Set the GATE switch to the 1 position.

2. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.

3. Press and hold the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to the open or close limit.

4. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on which limit is being set.

5. Press and hold the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to the other limit.

6. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on which limit is being set. The operator will exit limit setting mode.*

7. Cycle the gate open and close using the TEST BUTTONS. This automatically sets the force.

8. For dual gates set the Gate switch to the 2 position and repeat steps

2-7.

When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit setting mode.

* Dual Gates ONLY: When the limits are set on the secondary gate first the control board will not exit the limit setting mode until the limits are set on the primary gate.

ADJUSTMENT

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT continued...

FINE TUNE THE FORCE

The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel.

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.

1. Open and close the gate with the test buttons.

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

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

OBSTRUCTION TEST

The operator is equipped with an automatic obstruction sensing feature.

If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator will automatically reverse direction of the gate for a short time and then stop the gate. After any adjustments are made, test the operator:

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 a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure.

Ensure that the gate, the solid object, and the rigid structure can withstand the forces generated during this obstruction test.

3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If the gate does not reverse off the solid 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 a solid object.

4. Repeat the test for the open direction.

OPERATION

MANUAL RELEASE

In case of a power failure, the operator can be disengaged from the gate.

With an operator, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky, which is normal and has no effect on function. NOTE: It is normal for the operator to run slow right after a disconnect or complete loss of AC/ battery power (the operator will need to run a complete open and close cycle).

RELEASE

1. Insert the key into the lock.

2. Turn the key counter-clockwise 180°.

3. Turn the release lever counter-clockwise 180°.

Operator is in manual mode and the gate can be opened and closed manually.

ENGAGE

1. Turn the release lever clockwise 180°. This engages the motor.

2. Turn the key clockwise 180°. This locks the release lever.

3. Remove the key and store in a safe place. The operator is now engaged.

RESET BUTTON

The reset button is located on the side of the control box and serves several functions:

• Press the reset button to stop a moving gate during a normal open/ close cycle, like a stop button.

• Press the reset button once while the gate is in open position to disable the Timer-to-Close. The gate will stay in the open position. To restart the Timer-to-Close either press the reset button or activate the gate with a programmed remote control.

• Press the reset button to shut off the alarm and reset the operator.

PARTY MODE

Press the reset button once while the gate is in open position to disable the Timer-to-Close. The gate will stay in the open position. To restart the

Timer-to-Close either press the reset button or activate the gate with a programmed remote control.

Reset Button

OPERATION

OPERATOR ALARM

If a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice consecutively the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset.

When the inherent force of the operator (RPM/current sensor) detects the following (twice consecutively) the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the operator will need to be reset:

A. The operator arm or gate is incorrectly installed.

B. The gate does not meet specifications.

C. Gate hinges are too tight or broken and the gate is not moving freely.

D. The gate is moving and a car pushes the gate.

E. A foreign object is on the gate frame while the gate is moving.

F. The gate hits the driveway, curb or other, and gets stuck or bent in an awkward position.

Remove any obstructions. Press the reset button to shut off the alarm and reset the operator. After the operator is reset, normal functions will resume.

The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low.

REMOTE CONTROL

SINGLE BUTTON CONTROL (SBC) FUNCTIONALITY

Once the remote control has been programmed the operator will operate as follows:

When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open the gate. During the open cycle another activation of the remote control will stop the gate and the next activation of the remote control will close the gate.

When the gate is in the open position, activation of the remote control button will close the gate. If the remote control is activated while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and the next activation will open the gate.

ACCESSORY WIRING

EXTERNAL CONTROL DEVICES

EXIT (2 Terminals)

This input is a soft open command (maintained switch does not override external safeties and does not reset alarm condition). Used for exit probe, telephone entry, external exit loop detector, or any device that would command the gate to open.

• Opens a closing gate and holds open an open gate, if maintained, pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit.

SHADOW (2 Terminals)

This input is used for external shadow loop detector when loop is positioned under the swing of the gate.

• Holds open gate at open limit

• Only active when the gate is at the OPEN limit, disregarded at all other times

• Pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit

INTERRUPT (2 Terminals)

This input is used for photoelectric sensors and external interrupt loop detector when loop is on the outside of the gate.

• Holds open gate at open limit

• Stops and reverses a closing gate to open limit

• Pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit, activates quick close and anti-tailgate features when enabled on the expansion board

VEHICLE DETECTION DEVICES

The same accessory inputs used for vehicle detection devices are also used for entrapment protection devices (refer to step 7 of Installation).

The vehicle detection devices may be monitored or non-monitored, but only ONE monitored device may be connected to each input, inclusive of entrapment protection devices. Multiple non-monitored devices can be wired to the same input. A monitored device sends a pulsed signal to the operator so the operator is aware of the device. If the operator does not receive the signal from the device indicating it is working properly, it will not run in that direction.

CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT (2 Terminals)

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

CLOSE EDGE (2 Terminals)

The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor vehicle detection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will reverse for 4 seconds then stop, 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 vehicle detection 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.

EXPANSION BOARD OVERVIEW

1 QUICK CLOSE Switch:

OFF: No change to the gate's normal operation.

ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is deactivated it causes an opening or a stopped gate to close (ignores the Timer-to-Close).

2 AC FAIL Switch:

OPEN: Loss of AC power will cause the gate to open approximately

15 seconds after AC power fail and remain OPEN until AC power is restored (enabling the Timer-to-Close).

BATT: With loss of AC power, gate will remain in present position and operator is powered from batteries.

3 EXIT LOOP FAIL Switch:

• When set to OPEN, if the EXIT plug-in loop detector detects a fault, then the gate will open and remain open until fault is cleared. When set to CLOSE, then plug-in EXIT loop detector faults are ignored

(EXIT loop is faulted and inoperative).

the desired OPEN or CLOSE functionality.

7 1, 2, and 3 LEDs: LEDs indicating the status of the EYE/EDGE inputs.

Also used to check the firmware version of the expansion board:

1. Locate the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs on the expansion board.

2. Disconnect AC/DC power to the main control board for 15 seconds.

3. Connect power. The 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will flash in sequence until the main control board firmware revision is displayed. When the green POWER LED glows solid the LED 1 will flash the version number, then stop, then the LED 2 will flash the revision number

(for example: For version 5.1 when the green POWER LED is solid the LED 1 will flash 5 times, then stop, then the LED 2 will flash once).

8 MAIN BOARD Input: Input Connection for the main board connector.

OFF: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing gate to stop and reverse.

ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing gate to pause. Once the vehicle is clear the gate will continue to close.

CYCLE COUNT

* First, note the current Aux Relay switch positions. To determine the actual cycles that the gate operator has run (in thousands), set all three Aux

Relay switches to the ON setting for Aux Relay 1. The Expansion Board’s 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will blink out the cycle count, with 1 LED blinking 1000’s,

2 LED blinking 10,000’s, 3 LED blinking 100,000’s, and simultaneously all three LED’s blink 1,000,000’s (e.g. 1 LED blinks 3 times, 2 LED blinks 6 times, and 3 LED blinks once. Cycle count is 163,000.). Cycle count displayed is between 1,000 and 9,999,000 cycles. After servicing, set Aux Relay switches back to their appropriate positions. Cycle count cannot be reset or changed. If under 1,000 cycles the 1, 2, and 3 LEDs will turn on for 10 seconds, then turn off.

NOTE: The expansion board will flash the cycle count 3 times then all the LEDs will turn on solid for 10 seconds then turn off.

NOTES:

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

• 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.

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 standard control box comes with two 7AH batteries.

Two 33AH (A12330SGLPK) may be used in place of the 7AH batteries for a Large Metal Control Box solar installation. A battery tray (model K10-

36183) and battery harness (model K94-37236) are required for 33AH applications.

The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of properly.

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.
