Operator Setup
Controller Access
The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover. To
remove the dust cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and
lift the cover off (see Figure 8).
AC Power Connection
All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power
disconnect switch to turn on and off the power available
to the operator. Following wiring specifi cations on Page 2,
incoming power should be brought into the operator and
connected to the labeled pigtails from the disconnect box.
A wiring connections print can also be found on the label
inside the cover of the operator.
Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The
motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from
overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency
operation. This overload protector will reset automatically
after the motor cools down.
Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame
in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground
is necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and
lightning protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical
bolting of the operator to the mounting posts is not suffi cient
for a good earth ground.
✓ NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid
copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.
1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting
pad within three feet of the operator.
2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the ground rod.
3. Route the ground wire to the operator.
4. Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.
Limit Cam Rough Adjustment
The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must be
adjusted for the length and opening angle of the gate the
operator is installed on. The limit switches are activated
by two rotating limit cams which are attached to the drive
shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right
hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom
cam is for CLOSE. The cams fl ip their defi nition in left hand
installations (see left-right hand programming on Page 12).
1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position,
the power disconnect switch turned OFF, and the torque limiter
set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate to its fully
open position.
2. Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so
that it has just triggered the LSO-1 switch.
3. Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE
limit cam so that it has just triggered the LSC-1 switch.
