Safety Information and Warnings  
THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES  
IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
Before You Begin...  
Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If  
you find damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential  
claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your  
accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your  
convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only  
30 days from the date of shipment.  
CAUTION  
This type of warning note is used to  
indicate the possibility of damage to the  
gate or gate operator.  
WARNING  
Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to  
ensure all requirements for proper installation are present.Verify  
that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.  
This type of warning note is used to  
indicate possible mechanical hazards that  
may cause serious injuries or death.  
If you have any questions about the requirements for proper  
installation of this gate operator contact technical support at  
800-421-1587.  
WARNING  
This type of warning note is used to indicate  
possible electrical shock hazards that may  
cause serious injuries or death.  
Always Check the Gate’s Action  
It’s very important before installing the gate operator to  
make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout  
the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to  
operate properly, it may affect the operator performance  
or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should  
also be designed so that airflow is ample to prevent  
wind resistance and drag.  
Regulatory Warnings  
Read the following before beginning to install this swing  
gate operator:

Mounting Pad Installation  
The gate operator mounts bolted to posts secured in  
concrete footings. The posts support the operator and  
prevent it from moving 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.  
Gate Preparation  
Before installing the gate operator, make sure the gate’s  
swing is free and level throughout the entire swing path. If  
the gate does not seem to operate properly, it may affect  
the operator performance or greatly shorten the life of the  
unit.The gate should be designed so that airflow is ample to  
prevent wind resistance and drag.  
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.  
Mounting Specifications  
Use two 3 - 3-1/2” OD galvanized posts and secure with  
concrete footings as shown, length to be determined by  
local codes, frost line depth and soil conditions.  
AttachtheoperatorwiththeU-bolts,sideplatesandhardware  
provided. Four 3/16” side plates go on the outside top and  
bottom, two 3/16” side plates go on the inside top, and two  
1/2” side plates go on the inside bottom (see the illustration  
at right). The operator should be positioned at a level to  
allow the arm to be installed at mid-height on the gate. “H”  
dimension can vary depending on gate construction. Make  
sure the posts do not protrude above the operator cabinet.

Limit switches LSO-2 and LSC-2 control when the operator  
accelerates to maximum speed and decelerates to  
minimum speed. It is recommended that LSO-2 and LSC-2  
are adjusted first so the gate slows to near stop before  
hitting LSO-1 or LSC-1 as these will apply the brake upon  
activation.  
Adjust LSO-2 and LSC-2 by slightly loosening the two  
screws which hold them in place and sliding toward or away  
from the center of the limit box. Care must be taken not to  
adjust too close to the center as the limit nut may travel past  
the switch and start accelerating at the end of the cycle.

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.).

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator  
monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the  
programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse  
a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled,  
and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If  
after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the  
open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

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.  
Optional In-Cabinet Heater  
The operator can be ordered with an optional cold weather  
package that includes an in-cabinet heater to keep the drive  
train and electronics warm in cold environments.  
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.  
In-cabinet heaters can also be ordered separately and  
should be wired to the operator as shown in Figure 14  
Contact Technical Services for heater wiring information for  
a specific voltage and phase of operator.  
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).  
SINGLE PHASE 115V, 208V, & 230V MODELS  
(All heaters have built-in switch and thermostat)  
✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal  
“C” in both operators.

115 VOLT HEATER (P/N 2510-262)  
208/230 VOLT HEATER (P/N 2510-273)  
• 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.  
THREE PHASE 208V & 230V MODELS  
• Stagger Delay Time  
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.  
See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate programming  
functions.  
208/230 VOLT HEATER (P/N 2510-273)  
CONTACTOR  
Set the following parameters in each gate operator individually in a single gate  
mode before connecting the network cable and operating in dual gate mode.  
THREE PHASE 460V MODELS  
1. Open and Close Limit settings  
2. Open and Closed direction inherent  
entrapment protection (OC & CC)  
After these parameters have been set, and each operator has been  
tested independently and is functioning correctly in single gate mode,  
then set BOTH operators to dual gate (dg) in the Paired Mode setup step  
under Basic Programming steps.

Reverse Input  
Gate Operation  
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.  
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.  
Open Loop  
Functions the same as the OPEN button.  
Reverse Loop  
Close Button  
Functions the same as the reverse input.  
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if  
the gate is in the process of opening.  
Shadow/Reset Loop  
Holds the gate fully open or fully closed while triggered.  
If open, the gate closes immediately when cleared if  
Anti-tailgate is enabled.  
Stop Button  
Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.  
Single Input  
Operation Indications  
During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will  
indicate current operating conditions and status.  
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.  
Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is  
moving (open-stop-close programming option).  
Power-up Display  
When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the  
display, then the firmware version number, then the gate  
type (SL for slide and swing gates).  
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.  
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.  
Open Input  
Functions the same as the OPEN button.  
Last Gate Position/Condition  
Open Obstruction  
When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the  
status for up to one minute.  
While the gate is 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.  
• 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  
Close Obstruction  
During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the  
number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.  
While the gate is closing, any close obstruction signal  
will cause the gate to stop, reverse, and travel to the full  
open position. Should a open obstruction input or an open  
direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to the  
gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and  
sound the continuous tone alarm. Another close request  
will be required to start the operator again. If after restart,  
the overload or a close obstacle happens again before the  
close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound  
the alarm. If the auto close timer is set, when the close  
obstruction input is cleared, the gate will close when the  
auto close timer expires.  
Reverse Delay  
If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation  
or reversing device, and a reverse delay is set, the display  
will count down the delay time in seconds before the  
operator restarts.  
Run Timer  
While the gate is opening or closing, the number of seconds  
running time is displayed.

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.

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:  
• 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.  
Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace  
transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble  
indications.  
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.

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 5:00 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.

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.  
General  
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.  
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. For operators with magnetic brakes, check for proper  
adjustment. Brake disc must run free when the brake  
is engaged. For brake assemblies other than C-face  
style, the brake should be adjusted so that the solenoid  
plunger throw is between 3/8” to 1/2”. Too much throw  
will damage the solenoid. If the solenoid emits a loud  
buzzing sound when the motor is run, the brake  
must be adjusted.  
✓ 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.  
✓ Swing Gate Arm — Check all bolts for proper tension  
and tighten if necessary. Lightly lubricate all pivot points  
with a light machine oil.  
6. In operators which have a disconnect handle, inspect  
disconnect handle for proper function and lubricate if  
necessary. Use a lithium based grease on all moving  
parts.  
7. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten  
as necessary.  
8. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect  
all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check  
photoeyes for proper alignment and function.  
9. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when  
finished with inspection and maintenance.  
10.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  
For all gate operators, you must  
inspectthegateforproperoperation.  
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.  
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.
