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. Install the gate operator only when
the operator is appropriate for the construction of the
gate and the usage class of the gate. 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.
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:
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.
• 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
14. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground
utility lines, contact underground utility locating
companies BEFORE digging.
Pedestrians must use separate entrance

Connect the Gate Operator (Gate 2) to the Control Box (Model LA412-S Only)
Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate will 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.
NOTE: The gate with the longer travel span (opening) must be set as the primary gate (GATE 1).
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.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Select Site for Solar Panel(s)
The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. The solar
panel(s) comes with a 10' cable. If a location near the control box cannot be found, an additional cable will be required.
The LA412 Solar Gate Operator is not supported in northern climates where temperatures reach below -4F. This is due
to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart
for areas that reach below 32F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper
operation.

The map (above) and cycles/day ratings are approximations and do not account for installed accessories that draw
additional battery power. Ratings vary based on gate construction and installation. They are also shown for using a single
10W solar panel in conjunction with two 12 Volt 7.0 AH batteries. Ratings will improve by adding additional 10W solar
panels. If required, up to three 10W panels (30W total) can be wired in parallel to increase the number of cycles per day.
NOTE: The solar panel(s) recommendation is based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the
given regions. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that
experience heavy fog or lake effect rain and snow.

POSITION SOLAR PANEL(S)
NOTE: If the panel(s) is not casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.

The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In general, the panel(s) should be mounted
using the provided angle bracket facing due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of all
obstructions and shading from buildings and trees. The area should be clear for a 180° arc from due east of the
panel(s) location to due west of the panel(s) location.
NOTE: Tall trees or buildings that do not shade the solar panel(s) in the summer could shade the solar panel(s) during the winter
months when the sun sits lower in the sky.
Sun’s Position
Solar Panel
TIP: To optimize the system for
winter operation the angle can be
increased an additional 15° (solar
panel(s) sits more vertical).
NOTE: DO NOT install solar panel near potential
South
shading or obstructions that will block the panel
during any part of the day.
TIP: The area around the solar panel(s)
should be clear of shadows or obstructions
to the sun for a 180° arc east to west.

180°
TIP: Wire runs should be kept as short as possible.
The solar panel(s) can be located up to 100' from the
operator using #16 AWG wire in any direction, including
elevating it.

CONNECT SOLAR PANEL(S) TO OPERATOR CONTROL BOX
Open the control box cover. Disconnect all power and
batteries from the control board. Run the solar panel
cable to the bottom of the control box. Thread the
cable through the watertight connector and pull the
cable through until it reaches the AC PWR/SOLAR
connector on the control board. Tighten the watertight
connector on the cable. Attach the solar panel wires
to AC PWR/SOLAR input terminal (polarity is not
important). Leave the AC PWR/SOLAR earth ground
connection open.
7
To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE
performing ANY service or maintenance.
• DO NOT connect more than 3 solar panels.
• DO NOT connect solar panel(s) when power supply is
connected.
NOTE: The system is designed to be charged by either an AC plug-in transformer or a separate solar panel, but not both.
Connect the AC PWR/SOLAR connector to the control board. With the batteries still disconnected, the control board
should power up if the solar panel is correctly installed and the sun is shining (the diagnostic LED will blink).
Use the cable ties to secure the solar panel cable away from places where it could be damaged.
NOTE: If the sky is too overcast to allow the solar panel to power up the system, the panel will need to be verified at another time
when the sun is shining. There is no other way to verify the panel installation.

To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY
LiftMaster part 27-NP712 for replacement batteries.
NOTES: Batteries will degrade over time depending on
temperature and usage. For best performance, the batteries
should be changed every 3 years.
Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold
temperatures.

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 programmed during the installation process. The programming uses a combination
of buttons on the control board.
The specific buttons used for programming depends on which side of the gate the control box is mounted and how many
operators the installation includes. Refer to pages 11 and 13 to determine if the gate is Left- or Right-handed.
If a mistake is made during programming press the RESET button on the outside of the control box to start over.
SINGLE ARM LEFT-HAND SIDE

Force and Timer to Close
FORCE ADJUSTMENT
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing gate.
• 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.
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.
To adjust the force:
• 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use
separate entrance.
8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY
maintenance.
9.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
USING YOUR GATE OPERATOR
Your operator will operate with up to forty-nine Security✚®
remote controls and one Security✚® Keyless Entry System.
If you purchase a new remote, or if you wish to deactivate
any remote, follow the instructions in the Programming
section.
The Timer-To-Close (TTC) Feature comes from the
factory in the OFF setting.
The “TIMER RUNNING LED” will flash once for every
second of adjusted time. The gate(s) must fully open for
the timer feature to be active and close the gate(s). Any
radio command or pressing the single button on the control
board prior to the TCC time expiring will close the gate. The
TTC is reset by any signals from the loops, close edges,
and close safety sensors (IR’s).
Activate your operator with any of the following:
• The hand-held Remote Control (See Accessories):
Hold the large push button down until the gate starts to
move.
Party Mode: If the Timer-to-Close feature is enabled and
you would like the gate to remain open, simply push the
reset button (located on the outside of the control box).
To set party mode: open the gate fully, then press the reset
button. The next command given by remote control or
SBC on the control board will close the gate and return the
operator to normal operation.
• The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided with
your gate operator, it must be programmed before use.
See Programming.
When the operator is activated (with the safety
sensors correctly installed and aligned)
1. If open, the gate will close. If closed, it will open.
2. If the gate has been stopped in a partially open position,
it will close.
3. If obstructed while closing, the gate will stop and reverse
direction for approximately 2 seconds and then stop. The
next command will open the gate.
Sleep Mode (Battery Conservation): The operator enters
sleep mode 10 seconds after the last command is given.
The diagnostic LED will blink in this mode. The safety
sensors (photo eyes) indicator LEDs will not be on. The
next command given will return the operator to normal
operation.
4. If obstructed while opening, the gate will stop and
reverse direction for approximately 2 seconds and then
stop. The next command will close the gate.
Reset Button: The reset
button can be used to set the
operator into party mode and
to reset the alarm after an
obstruction. The diagnostic
LED can be reset by holding
the reset button for 1 to 2
seconds.
The operator alarm will sound under the following
condition: If gate encounters two consecutive obstructions,
before reaching the open or close limit, the operator will
stop, the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes) and the control
board will require resetting. Reset the control board by
pressing the “Reset Button” located on the outside of
the control box. No commands at this time will operate
gate. After the operator is reset, normal functions will be
available.

• Arm does not extend or contract enough during travel. The arm piston must extend
and contract close to its full length to Learn Limits. Adjust the arm mounting so that
this can be achieved.
• Motor cable wire not connected. Make sure that all the motor wires are connected
properly.
• Motor housing is not properly seated. Make sure that the motor housing for the
arm(s) is properly seated so there are no gaps between the motor housing and arm
assembly. Make sure all 4 screws are tightened.

close when trying to learn
limits.
• Over extending or contracting arm. Disconnect the motor housing from the arm and
make sure that the arm moves freely throughout the full length of travel. Adjust arm
mounting and positioning if necessary.
• Arm is interfering with the gate mount bracket. Examine the hinge point where the
arm mounts to the gate post. Make sure that the arm housing does not hit or
interfere with the gate post or mounting bracket throughout the full length of travel.
Adjust the arm mounting and positioning if necessary.
• Gate is excessively heavy or hinges are bad. Verify that the gate is within the
ratings for this product. Disconnect the arms and verify that both gates swing easily.
Lubricate or replace hinges as necessary.
Unit does not respond to
single button control (SBC)
command.
• Battery not connected. At least one charged battery must be connected for the unit
to operate. Verify the battery fuse is intact. Check battery connections and battery
voltage to be above 11.5V. Replace batteries if necessary.
• STOP button connection loose or disconnected. Press the RESET button and verify
that the STOP LED lights up and then turns off after 10 seconds. Verify the wire
connects between STOP and CTRL PWR terminals.
• Single Button Control (SBC) button connection loose. Check wiring for SBC button.
Use the on-board single button to verify operator will respond.
• Bad control board. Replace control board.
Unit does not respond to
remote control command.
• Battery not connected. At least one charged battery must be connected for the unit
to operate. Verify battery fuse is intact. Check battery connections and battery
voltage to be above 11.5V. Replace batteries if necessary.
• STOP button connection loose or disconnected. Press the RESET button and verify
that the STOP LED lights up and then turns off after 10 seconds. Verify the wire
connects between the STOP and CTRL PWR terminals.
• Radio module not plugged in. Verify the green Radio module (located next to the

steps to program the remote control.
• Bad control board. Replace control board.
Gate stops and reverses
immediately after it starts
moving.
• Obstruction sensed. Check safety devices and gate for obstructions.
• A fault has occurred. Check Diagnostic LED for possible error codes.
• Force set too low. Adjust FORCE setting until gate completes a full open/close
cycle without reversing. The force setting may need to be adjusted in cold weather,
as the gate will not move freely.
• Loops are reversed. Make sure that the Safety loop and Shadow loop are
connected properly. The gate may trigger the Shadow loop as it moves, so it must
be connected to the correct input.
• Low or defective battery. At least one charged battery must be connected for the
units to operate. Verify battery fuse is intact. Check battery connections and battery
voltage to be above 11.5V. Replace batteries if necessary.

automatically with Timer to
Close enabled.
• Verify that the Timer to Close is ON and adjusted to desired delay.
• Gate opened by a force obstruction reversal. Check the Diagnostic LED and clear
gate path of any obstructions.
• The Interrupt loop or Shadow loop is obstructed (optional accessories).
• Obstructed close safety sensor or safety edge (optional accessory). Check
connections and operations of safety devices.
• Low battery. Measure the voltage across the battery. Voltage should be above
11.5Vdc. Replace battery is required.
• An open input is continuously activated. Check the open loop or vehicle probe to
make sure they are clear of objects. Verify connections and operation for these
devices.
• (Optional Accessory) Entry system output is connected to the OPEN input, and is
“stuck” opening. Verify entry system connections and operation.
• Operator in “Party” mode after RESET button pressed while at the OPEN limit. Use
a remote or the SBC to close the gate and reopen it. Verify that the
TIMER RUNNING LED is flashing.
Alarm constantly sounds
for 5 minutes. Sounds
whenever a command is
issued.
• Double entrapment occurred. Two successive obstructions were encountered while
moving the gate. Press the RESET button and ensure that the gate path is clear of
all obstructions. Check the FORCE setting to make sure it is properly set.
Alarm is beeping 3 times on
a command.
• Low battery. Measure the voltage across the battery. Voltage should be above
11.5Vdc. Replace battery if required.
Gate runs too slow.
• Open and Close Limits are set too close together. If the Open and Close Limits are
set within the ramp down distance of each other, the gate will run at slow speed all
the time.
• The gate is starting within the ramp down distance from the Open or Close Limit.
Gate will run slow to limits if motion is started within the ramp-down distance from
the limit.
Gate 2 closes before Gate 1. • Lock/Bipart Delay not set. Slide the Lock/Bipart Delay switch to ON. Verify that
Gate 1 starts moving first on open and last on close.
• Gate is excessively heavy or hinges are bad. Verify that the gate is within the
ratings for this product. Disconnect the arms and verify that both gates swing easily.
Lubricate or replace hinges as necessary.
• Gate is unbalanced. Disconnect the arms and verify that both gates swing easily in
both directions. If the gates are harder to move in one direction verses the other,
the gate is not properly balanced and the hinges must be adjusted.
• Bad motor connection. Check the motor wires and connections for possible loose or
corroded terminals.
Alarm beeps when running.
• Low battery. Measure the voltage across the battery. Voltage should be above
