Mounting Pad Installation
The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured
concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and
prevents it from twisting during operation.
WARNING
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 into contact with the vehicular gate during the
entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)
which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.
Mounting Pad Specifications
Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum.
Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at
least as deep as frost line.
WARNING
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearanceissuppliedbetweenthegateandadjacentstructures
when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Swing gates shall not open into public areas.
If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or
twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required.
Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this
problem as shown.
✓ NOTE: Maximum gate opening angle is approximately 95 degrees,
depending on gate width. If larger opening angle is required,
non-standard positioning of the operator and modified articulating
arms may be required. Contact the factory for technical information,
pricing, and availability.
5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets
following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete
sets.

CAUTION
To reduce the torque, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one
flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.
If the operator is installed in a left-hand installation. Set the
Controller to left-hand operation BEFORE running the operator
for the fine setting of the limit cams. Failure to do so will
result in over-shooting the limit switches, and may cause
damage to the operator and/or gate. Refer to programming on
Page 12.
3. When finished, tighten the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

Basic Controller Programming
Programming Overview
PROGRAM
INDICATOR
The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.
The programming fields are defined as “functions” that have “options”.
To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is
divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming
group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate
installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less
commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).

Dual Gate Installations
Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The
operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire
COMM LINK terminals.
DUAL GATE
COMM LINK
WIRING
OPERATOR #1
SHIELD
When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection
signals the other operator to activate. Each operator
functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring
its inputs and accessories.
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect
two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N
2500-1982, per foot).
CONNECT
USE BELDEN 8760 TWISTED PAIR
SHIELDED CABLE OR EQUIVALENT
C - C
B - B
A - A
✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal
“C” in both operators.
OPERATOR #2
CONNECT SHIELD
WIRE AT BOTH ENDS
Three of the programming functions available are only used
for dual gate installations:
SHIELD
• Dual Gate Enable
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
• Stagger Mode
The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed
open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one
operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is
programmed for delayed close.
Figure 14. COMM LINK Wiring
• Stagger Delay Time
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.
Open Input
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate
programming functions.
Open Obstruction
While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will
cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then
stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a
renewed input will be required to start the gate again.Should
the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again
prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout,
and sound the emergency alarm.
Gate Operation
Open Button
Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop
opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN
button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open
the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended
until the OPEN button is released.
Close Obstruction
Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.
Close Button
Reverse Input
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if
the gate is in the process of opening.
If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the
gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close
Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will
close when the Auto Close Timer expires.
Stop Button
Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.
Single Input
Open Loop
Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open
(open-close programming option). Activating the input while
the gate is moving will reverse the gate.
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Reverse Loop
Functions the same as the reverse input.
Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is
moving (open-stop-close programming option).
Shadow/Reset Loop
Only used with Swing Gates.Holds the gate fully open or fully
closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately
when cleared.
Fire Department Input
Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides
the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is
programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open
position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button
to release the lockout.

MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble
Operation Indications
If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their
supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any
trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly
status reports and will send low battery reports when the
transmitter has a low battery. The MGT transmitters also
have a tamper detection switch that will trigger when their
case is opened.
During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will
indicate current operating conditions and status.
Power-up Display
When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the
display for one second, then the firmware version number
will be displayed for one second.
When the Controller detects a low transmitter battery, a
tamper signal, or missing transmitter status reports, the
gate will still operate normally, but the beeper will change
as follows:
Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up
display will show upon the restart.
Idle Condition
While the Controller is idling, waiting for a command, the
display will show circulating dashes.
• The Pre-start Alarm will beep twice as fast.
• The Run Alarm will beep twice as fast and continue for five minutes
after the gate stops.
• The sounder will “chirp” every five seconds when the gate is idle.
Last Gate Position/Condition
When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the
status for up to one minute.
Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace
transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble
indications.
• Stop is displayed as St
• Full Close is displayed as FC
• Full Open is displayed as FO
• Entrapment is displayed as En
Pre-start Delay
Maximum Run Time Exceeded
If the Maximum Run Time is exceeded, the Controller stops
the operator the same as if a double obstacle has occurred
in an entrapment condition. The entrapment alarm sounds
constantly, and is cleared by pressing the STOP button or the
RESET button on the cover. After the STOP or RESET button
is pressed, because the Maximum Run Time has been
exceeded, the sounder will beep twice every five seconds.
The next operation of the gate will clear the indication.
During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the
number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.
Reverse Delay
If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation or
reversingdevice, andareversedelayisset, thedisplaywillcount
down the delay time in seconds before the operator restarts.

Gate stopping part way open or closed
(but no visible obstruction)
A. The Controller may have received a false obstruction
input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure
the gate moves freely through its entire travel before
adjusting the current sensing.
Troubleshooting
Contacting Technical Support
For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the
Technical Services Department at:
1-800-421-1587 from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific time
B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and
expired. This can be caused by having the timer set too
low, if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley
is slipping. When the timer expires, the gate stops and
the beeper will sound.
Operator fails to start
A. If the operator has been running a large number
of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and
tripped its thermal overload breaker. Allow the motor to
cool down and the thermal overload breaker will reset
automatically.
C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the
obstruction input may have triggered falsely. Check the
control board for lit indicators for any of the following
inputs: safety, shadow/reset, open obstruction, close
obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator
should be running, remove all devices hooked to that
function and hook them up one at a time and try to run
the operator until the problem device is found. Refer to
Page 9 for details on the control board indicators.
B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution
panel and that the power has not been turned off.
Motor operates, but gate does not move
A. In operators with torque limiters and friction pad clutches,
check for signs of slipping. You can mark the sprocket
and clutch with a yellow or white grease pen and watch
for the lines to move apart if slipping is taking place.
Adjust the torque limiter tighter if this is the problem.
Gate staying open with automatic system
B. Check for broken chain or worn belts.
A. If there are vehicle detectors used with the operator, one
of the loops or loop detectors may be sending a false
signal or needs to be reset. Observe the indicators on
the loop detector. Unplug the detector and try running
the operator.
C. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten
them if necessary, and check for keys which may have
fallen loose from keyways.
Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal
A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding
throughout its entire travel.
B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or
malfunctioning. Try disconnecting these devices and
hook them back up one at a time and try running the
operator until the malfunctioning device is found.
B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator
has one).
C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the
operator will think the gate is already closed.
C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make
sure it is releasing.
Limit switch getting out of time
A. Check the setscrews in limit cams for tightness. Replace
if necessary.
How to Order Replacement Parts
Use the part numbers listed on the following pages.
Contact your local Linear dealer or distributor to order parts.
1. Supply the model number and serial number of your operator.
2. Specify the quantity of pieces needed and order by part number and name of part.
3. State whether to ship by freight, truck, parcel post, UPS or air express.
4. State whether transportation charges are to be prepaid or collect.
5. Specify name and address of person or company to whom parts are to be shipped.
6. Specify name and address of person or company to whom invoice is to be sent

Model SWD Maintenance
Battery Maintenance
DC Motor Brush Replacement
The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine
maintenance. For assured continued performance, they
should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed
for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the
batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge
before use after storage or upon initial installation.
Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or
yearly, whichever comes first. The motor has two brushes,
one on each side.
Original brushes are approximately 3/4” long and should be
replaced when they are 1/4” long, or sooner. If brushes are
allowed to wear beyond this point, permanent damage to
the motor may result.
To inspect the brushes: (1) remove the retaining cap with
straight-blade screwdriver; (2) carefully pull assembly
straight out; (3) measure the remaining brush material.
To reinstall:(4) place the brush in holder, aligning the brush’s
rounded indentation correctly with motor shaft; (5) gently
push in the spring and align metal contact with oval slot in
the brush holder, then push it in with retaining cap. Hold the
cap in place and thread the cap into brush holder. Do not
overtighten or cap will crack!
Repeat for the other brush.

6-Month Preventative Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check
for proper tightness.If there appears to be dust from wear
on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary. If
the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the
gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.
WARNING
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
Keep clear of gate during operation.
2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if
required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and
tighten if necessary.
General
Linear gate operators are designed for many years of
trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating
conditions, will require only minimal maintenance.To ensure
that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude
serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically.
Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as
recommended.
3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain
and sprockets for wear and replace if necessary.
Check for proper tension and alignment, and adjust if
required. Check all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if
required.
Lubrication
4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,
etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit
switch assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a
light coating of dry lubricant.
✓ Bearings — For models which have pillow block style
bearings with grease fittings, lubricate at least twice a
year with a lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2
rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not
require additional lubrication.
5. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary.
✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not
require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after
several years of operation, bearings should be replaced
by a motor repair company, or the motor should be
replaced if necessary.
6. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect
all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check
photoeyes for proper alignment and function.
7. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when
finished with inspection and maintenance.
✓ Swing Gate Arm — Check all bolts for proper tension
and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm folds
overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop
to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven
open. Adjust the close limit slightly if additional travel
is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light
machine oil.
8. Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs
intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced,
contact Linear. Be sure there are no control stations
mounted within reach of the gate.Review safety literature
with the customer and advise them to remove any such
stations found.
FCC Notice
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and Industry
Canada Rules & Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
For all gate operators, you must inspect the gate for proper
operation. The gate should move easily without binding through
its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or fix as required.
Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse
effects on the operator.
