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.
Single Arm Left-Hand Side

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.
