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 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:

l Edges Sensors (contact)

l Photoelectric Sensors

l Vertical Posts

l 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 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. 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. 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 in the area

of the gate. Each placard is to be visible by persons located on the side

of the gate on which the placard is installed.

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.

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 4 inches (10.1 cm) but less

than 16 inches (406 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc

of travel, one or more contact sensors shall be located on the

bottom edge.

INSTALLATION

Step 2 Concrete Pad and Operator Attachment

CHECK the national and local building codes before installation.

NOTE: When lifting the operator use the handle to avoid damaging the

operator

1. Install the electrical conduit.

2. Pour a concrete pad (reinforced concrete is recommended). The

concrete pad should be 6 inches (15.2 cm) above the ground and

deeper than the frost line. Ensure the pad is tall enough to avoid

possible flooding.

3. Secure the operator to the concrete pad with appropriate fasteners.

NOTE: An alternative to a concrete pad is to post mount the operator, see

Accessories.

INSTALLATION

Step 3 Position the Gate Bracket

NOTE: It may be necessary to attach horizontal reinforcement to the gate before attaching the gate bracket.

1. Position the operator arm onto the output shaft so that the pin slides into the slot.

2. Measure 46" (116.8 cm) along the gate length from the gate hinge center.

3. Measure 27.5" (69.9 cm) up from the concrete pad to the gate hinge position on the gate as shown.

4. Make sure the operator arm is level and tack weld the gate bracket in this position. Use the set screws on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place

while determining the correct measurements.

Step 4 Adjust the Operator Arm

Length

NOTE: The length of the arm can be adjusted if necessary. If adjusting the

length, ensure that both sections of the arm are adjusted proportionally.

Use the set screws on the arm to temporarily hold the arm in place while

determining the correct measurements.

1. Close the gate and measure the distance of the operator arm from the

gate bracket to the output shaft center. This distance is E.

2. Open the gate 90° (do not allow arms to scissor when open).

Measure both sections of the arm (D and C). The arm lengths are

correct as long as C+D=E (arm should be perpendicular to the gate

in the open position as shown).

INSTALLATION

Step 5 Secure the Operator Arm

Once the operator arm measurements are verified:

1. Weld the gate bracket to the gate.

2. Weld the short arm section.

3. Weld the long arm section.

Remove the set screws from the arm. NOTE: Completely weld around

the outer tubing and bracket.

5. Adjust the nuts on the operator arm so the operator arm fits snug on

the output shaft yet still allows enough room to swivel (the handle

must be in a 90° position).

6. Tighten the handle by pushing it down. Test to make sure the

operator arm does not slip on the output shaft.

INSTALLATION

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:

l ALL gate operator systems REQUIRE two independent entrapment

protection systems for each entrapment zone.

l Entrapment protection devices MUST be installed to protect anyone

who may come near a moving gate.

l Locate entrapment protection devices to protect in BOTH the open and

close gate cycles.

l Locate entrapment protection devices to protect between moving gate

and RIGID objects, such as posts, walls, pillars, columns, or operator

itself.

Step 6 Install Entrapment Protection

Entrapment protection MUST be installed according to the following UL

325 requirements:

l Swing gate operators require the installation of the first external

monitored entrapment protection device to function.

l 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.

l LiftMaster monitored external entrapment protection devices MUST

be used with LiftMaster operators to meet UL325 requirements,

see Accessories.

l 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.

SWING GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE: Locations between a moving gate or

moving, exposed operator components and a counter opposing edge or

surface where entrapment is possible up to 1.8 m (6 ft) above grade. Such

locations occur if during any point in travel:

a. The gap between the bottom of a moving gate and the ground is

greater than 101.6 mm (4 in) and less than 406 mm (16 in); or

b. The distance between the center line of the pivot and the end of the

wall, pillar, or column to which it is mounted when in the open or

closed position exceeds 101.6 mm (4 in). Any other gap between a

moving gate and fixed counter opposing edges or surfaces or other

fixed objects is less than 406 mm (16 in) (examples are walls, curbs,

berms or other immovable objects).

INSTALLATION

Wire Entrapment Protection Devices

There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to 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. 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

CLOSES 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.

Expansion Board (not provided)

EYE ONLY and COM

Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based

on the switch settings (located next to the terminals)

Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed

Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is

sensed

EYE/EDGE and COM

Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors or Edge Sensor, the

functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the

terminals)

Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed

Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is

sensed

INSTALLATION

Step 7 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.

Step 8 Power Wiring

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

l 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.

l 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.

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

l DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without

consulting the wiring diagram.

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

The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly

labeled.

l 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.

Bipart delay/synchronized close

The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only with dual gate

applications and serves two functions:

BIPART DELAY

SWING GATE APPLICATIONS: 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 operator 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.

SLIDE GATE APPLICATIONS: Not applicable, set to OFF.

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

operators.

INSTALLATION

Step 10 Install the cover

Before installing the cover, follow the instructions in the Adjustment

section to adjust the limits and force.

The operator cover consists of two pieces: a rear cover and a front cover.

The front cover can easily be removed to access the electrical box. To

access the reset switch slide the access door up. The front cover and

access door can be locked with the key.

1. Remove the operator arm from the output shaft by releasing the

handle.

2. Align the tabs on the rear cover with the slots on the chassis and

place the cover over the operator.

1. Locate the lock tab on the back of the front cover and remove the

screw securing the tab to the cover.

2. Turn the tab 180 degrees, then secure with the screw. The access

door can now be locked.

The basic installation is complete.

INSTALLATION

Limit and Force Adjustment

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

l Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or

KILLED by a moving gate.

l Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety

reversal system.

l NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move

gate.

l NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking

gate.

l If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control

may also need adjustment.

l After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be

tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with an 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 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: The TEST buttons on the control board will not work until the

limits have been set and the required entrapment protection devices are

installed.

Initial Limits and Force Adjustment

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.

1. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons

simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.

2. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to

the open or close limit.

3. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending

on which limit is being set.

4. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to

the other limit.

5. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending

on which limit is being set.

6. Cycle the gate open and close. This automatically sets the force.

When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit

setting mode.

ADJUSTMENT

Fine Tune the Force

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. The REVERSAL FORCE

DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.

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 limit and force setting

adjustment (see below).

Adjust the Limits

After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be

adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the

Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section.

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 operator will reverse direction of the gate and then stop. 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.

ADJUSTMENT

Remote Controls (Not Provided)

A total of 50 Security+ 2.0

remote controls or KPW250 keypads and 2

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

l READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

l 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.

l 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.

l NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the

remote control away from children.

l ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE

SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

l The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate

entrance.

l Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact

with an object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact

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.

l Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT

moving.

l KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual.

Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

l ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster professional.

l Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted

and there are no obstructions to gate travel.

l To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster

part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries.

l SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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

Maintenance Chart

Disconnect all power (AC, solar, battery) to the operator before servicing. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control

board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries to service the operator.

NOTES:

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

l 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.

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), 33AH Battery Harness (K94-37236) with additional battery tray (K10-

36183) may be used in place of the 7AH battery.

MAINTENANCE

To protect against fire and electrocution:

l DISCONNECT power (AC or solar and battery) BEFORE installing or

servicing operator.

For continued protection against fire:

l Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.

Diagnostic Codes

NOTE: When cycling or disconnecting power (ac/dc) to the control board, it is recommended that you unplug the J15 plug.

To View the Codes

The codes will show on the diagnostic display.

The operator will show the code sequence number followed by the code

number:

To Scroll Through the Saved Codes

The operator will only keep track of up to 20 codes, then will start saving

over the oldest codes as new codes occur.

To Exit

Press and release the STOP button to exit. The display will also time out

after two minutes of inactivity.

To Reset the Code History

1. Press and hold the STOP button for six seconds. The display will

show "Er" then "CL" alternately for six seconds.

2. Release the STOP button. The code history has now been reset and the

display will show "- -" until a new code occurs.

3. Press and release the STOP button to exit.
