Safety Installation Information  
1. READ and FOLLOW all instructions.  
9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety  
sensors), see product manual on the placement of  
non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for each type of  
application.  
2. The gate operator is intended for use with Class I  
vehicular swing gates.  
Class I denotes a vehicular gate operator (or system)  
intended for use in a home of one to four single family  
dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated  
therewith.  
a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of  
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the  
safety sensor while the gate is still moving.  
b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors)  
shall be located where the risk of entrapment or  
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable  
by a moving gate or barrier.  
Install the gate operator only when the operator is  
appropriate for the construction and the usage class of  
the gate.  
3. 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 system design and  
installation must reduce public exposure to potential  
hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated  
or guarded.  
10. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as  
an edge sensor:  
a. 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.  
b. 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" (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.  
4. A gate operator can create high levels of force during  
normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be  
incorporated into every installation. Specific safety  
features include safety sensors.  
5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in  
both directions prior to the installation of the gate  
operator.  
6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough  
clearance is provided 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 operator is intended for use 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. The  
pedestrian access shall be located such that persons  
will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.  
11. Never mount any device that operates the gate  
operator where the user can reach over, under, around  
or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls  
are to be placed at least 6' (1.8 m) from any part of the  
moving gate:  
• A hard wired control device shall be located and its  
wiring arranged so that communication between the  
control device and the gate operator is not subject to  
mechanical damage.  
8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a  
moving gate. The gate operator is not acceptable for  
use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be  
supplied with a separate pedestrian access.

12. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after  
2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection  
device or devices must be located in the line of sight  
of the gate, or easily accessible controls shall have a  
security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Never  
allow anyone to hang on or ride the gate during the  
entire travel of the gate.  
WARNING  
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:  
• Install warning signs on the front and back of the gate in  
PLAIN VIEW.  
• Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner  
using fastening holes.  
13. Each gate operator is provided with two safety warning  
placards. The placards are to be installed on the front  
and back of the gate where they are plainly visible.  
The placards may be mounted using cable ties  
through the four holes provided on each placard.  
All warning signs and placards must be installed where  
visible in the area of the gate.  
Moving Gate Can Cause  
Injury or Death  
KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any  
time without prior warning.  
Do not let children operate the gate or  
play in the gate area.  
This entrance is for vehicles only.  
Pedestrians must use separate entrance  
14. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground  
utility lines, contact underground utility locating  
companies BEFORE digging.  
15. SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.

WIRING  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:  
• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator  
without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that  
you install an optional reversing edge 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.  
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the  
operator MUST not be performed until disconnecting the  
electrical power 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 local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator  
should be on a separate fused line with a 15 amp  
circuit breaker.  
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified  
individual.  
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate  
conduit.  
• BEFORE installing power wiring or control stations be sure to  
follow ALL specifications and warnings described below.  
Failure to do so may result in SEVERE INJURY to persons  
and/or damage to operator.

Connect Gate Operator (Gate 2) to Control Box (Model GA420D Only)  
Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate would 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.  
Set the Lock/Bipart Delay  
The LOCK/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.

PROGRAMMING  
Program Limits  
The limits are internal settings that indicate when the gates are in the fully open position and the fully closed position. For  
proper functionality, the limits must be learned during the installation process. The programmed limit process uses a  
combination of buttons on the control board.  
The specific buttons used for programming depends on which side of the gates the control box is mounted on and how  
many operators the installation includes. Refer to pages 11-12 to determine if the gate is Left- or Right-handed and for  
explanation of PULL-TO-OPEN and PUSH-TO-OPEN.  
If a mistake is made during the programming process press the RESET button on the outside of the control box to start  
over.

NOTE: The “Learn Limits” mode can be exited at any time by pressing the RESET button. The mode will time-out  
automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Force/Timer to Close/Party Mode Controls  
WARNING  
Force Adjustment  
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons  
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or  
KILLED by a closing gate.  
The operator is equipped a with an obstruction sensing  
feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction the operator  
will automatically reverse direction and stop. Based on the  
length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make  
force adjustments. The force adjustment should be high  
enough that small objects such as branches or wind will  
not cause nuisance interruptions but low enough to prevent  
serious injury to a person or a vehicle.  
• Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation  
of safety reversal system.  
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to  
close 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 adjust the force:  
Using the 3-button remote or the Single Button Control  
(SBC) button on the control board, open and then close  
the gate.  
If the gate stops and or reverses before reaching the fully  
open or closed position increase the force by turning the  
force control slightly. Run operator through a complete  
cycle.  
Party Mode  
TTC can be temporarily disabled by pressing RESET  
button (located on the outside side of the control box)  
when the gate is fully open. This will allow the gate to  
remain open until another command is received. Following  
this command, TTC is re-enabled at the previously set  
time period.  
NOTE: Weather conditions can affect the gate  
movement, so seasonal adjustment may be required. The  
force control is factory set to the mid position.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:  
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
5. Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not  
moving.  
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s  
manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to  
gate hardware.  
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use  
separate entrance.  
2. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep  
the remote control away from children.  
3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO  
ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.  
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on  
contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates  
the non-contact 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.  
8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY  
maintenance.
