Linear Actuator Operator Overview
Wiring Specifications
The Model LRA Residential Linear Actuator is designed
to open and close a light-duty residential swing gate. The
operator can be used in left-hand or right-hand swing gate
installations on gates weighing up to 600 pounds.
Refer to the following steps for details on power and
accessory wiring for the operator.
WARNING
ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND
THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL
CODES
The operator is connected by a cable to an APeX electronic
controller, which provides all connections for input and
entrapment detection devices.The Controller is housed in a
separate enclosure and contains a built-in radio receiver for
wireless activation by remote control transmitters.
USE COPPER WIRE ONLY!
Brackets attached to the gate and gate hinge post are for
mounting the operator and to provide a mechanism to move
the gate.
AC Power Wiring
MODEL LRA POWER WIRING
MAXIMUM DISTANCE (FEET)
When the operator activates, the worm drive in the linear
actuator changes the fixed distance between the two
brackets that the operator is mounted on.When the operator
pulls the two brackets closer together, the gate opens.When
the operator pushes the two brackets farther apart, the gate
closes (see Figure 1).

1. The distance shown in the table above is measured in feet from the
operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on a standard
115 V supply with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under
the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your
application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the
maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.
Adjustable magnetic limit switches in the operator detect the
open and closed positions of the gate.
WARNING
This 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.
2. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied)
may be needed for the operator power connection.
3. Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code,
Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor
inrush and operator requirements.
4. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground
wire must be properly connected.

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.).

Fire Department Input
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.
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.
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.
DUAL GATE
OPERATOR #1
COMM LINK
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two operators
together for dual operation.Use Belden 8760Twisted Pair Shielded Cable
(or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982, per foot).
SHIELD
WIRING
✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal
“C” in both operators.
Three of the programming functions available are only used for dual gate
installations:
CONNECT
USE BELDEN 8760 TWISTED PAIR
SHIELDED CABLE OR EQUIVALENT
C - C
B - B
A - A
• Dual Gate Enable
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
OPERATOR #2
• Stagger Mode
CONNECT SHIELD
WIRE AT BOTH ENDS
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.
SHIELD
• Stagger Delay Time
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.
Figure 14. COMM LINK Wiring
See Pages 11 & 13 for details on these three dual gate programming
functions.
Open Input
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
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.
1. Open and Close Limit settings
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.
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.
Close Obstruction
Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.
Gate Operation
Open Button
Reverse Input
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.
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.
Close Button
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if the gate is in
the process of opening.
Open Loop
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Reverse Loop
Functions the same as the reverse input.
Stop Button
Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.
Shadow/Reset Loop
Holds the gate fully open or fully closed while triggered. If open, the gate
closes immediately when cleared.
Single Input
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).

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.
For DC models only - Clockwise : Batteries discharging,
Counterclockwise : Batteries charging
• 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.
Last Gate Position/Condition
When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the
status for up to one minute.
Maximum Run Time Exceeded
• Stop is displayed as St
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.
• Full Close is displayed as FC
• Full Open is displayed as FO
• Entrapment is displayed as En
Pre-start Delay
During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the
number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.

Gate staying open with automatic system
Troubleshooting
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.
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. 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.
Operator fails to start
A. Make sure you have power at the master distribution
panel and that the power has not been turned off.
B. If the “Reset to Factory Defaults” (CL) programming step
has been used, ensure the motor type (MO) has been
set to d2 and open (OC) and closed currents (CC) have
been set.
Motor operates, but gate does not move
A. Make sure all mounting hardware is still attached and
that all fasteners are tight.
B. Check that the actuator worm gear is moving. If it isn’t,
the gears in the drive may have stripped.
Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal
A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding
throughout its entire travel.
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.
B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and
expired. This can be caused by having the timer set
too low. When the timer expires, the gate stops and the
beeper will sound.
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 8 for details on the control board indicators.

Battery Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance
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.
WARNING
Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.
Keep clear of gate during operation.
General
FCC Notice
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.
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.
Lubrication
✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not
require further lubrication.
✓ Post Bracket Pin & Traveler Shaft — Lubricate the
front and back pivot points with a lithium complex-based
grease.
✓ Actuator Body — Wipe down the unit with a clean rag.
✓ Control Cable — Inspect the operator to control box
cable for cracks in the insulation, breaks, or other signs
of failure. Check all connection points. Replace cable if
necessary.
6-Month Preventative Maintenance
1. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary.
2. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect
all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check
photoeyes for proper alignment and function.
3. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when
finished with inspection and maintenance.
4. 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.
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.
