A good ground in a gate operator  
installation will minimize or prevent damage  
to the operator cause by natural events such  
as lightning strikes.  
Part # VAEMI  
The following will provide a guideline for  
proper grounding:  
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground  
reference.  
2. Consult your city code and be aware of  
under-ground services in the site of the  
gate operator to prevent inconveniences.  
3. Use always a single bonding point for  
grounding.  
4. All ground wires must be as short and as  
thick as possible.  
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all  
ground wires.

WARNINGConsult the installation instructions from the loop detector manufacturer. The following  
statements are provided as a guide but different requirements may be required by the  
vehicular loop detector manufacturer.  
Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation  
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.  
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use  
Table C (below) as a guide.  
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and  
other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.  
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.  
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.  
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a  
way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.  
IMPORTANT – Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the  
vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual and the manufacturer of the  
vehicular loop detector).  
• Gate size,  
• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;  
• Distance from the loop sensor wire to the gate either at the open or close position.

The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions  
in the path of the traveling gate. The Trim  
Pot for the Obstruction Sensor adjusts the  
sensitivity level that triggers the Sensor.  
Turning the Trim Pot clockwise  
increases the sensitivity.  
Turning the Trim Pot counter-  
clockwise decreases the sensitivity.  
When the Obstruction Sensor detects an  
obstruction it will:  
1. Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it  
momentarily.  
2. Bring the gate to a resting position.  
3. Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the  
Gate Operator receives a new command.  
If another obstruction is detected before the  
gate reaches either limit it will:  
1. Stop the gate’s movement.  
2. Bring the gate to a resting position.  
3. Disable the Gate Operator.  
UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to  
go off after two consecutive entrapment  
events sensed by the Inherent Entrapment  
Protection of the Gate Operator.  
The audio alarm will sound for a period of 5  
minutes or until the “Stop” Button is  
pressed (see page 8 for remote installation  
of a “Stop” Button).
