When correctly installed and properly used, your LPA 4000XLS operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your LPA 4000XLS Automatic Gate Operator. The 4000XLS operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate. The gate must not exceed 20 feet in length nor weigh more than 1000 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications on page 1). The 4000XLS operator can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. **Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct, stop, and blow fuses.** The 4000XLS can be installed on a push-to-open gate with the addition of the push-to-open bracket ⊕ [R4KPTO]. The 4000XLS operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. **These optional accessories are noted with the ⊕ symbol.** The 4000XLS operator features **adjustable stall force.** This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction. The 4000XLS operator also has an **adjustable auto-close** feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again. Please call Linear PRO Access at (800) 543-4283 for more information about our professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a Linear PRO Access dealer near you. ## BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR: Read these instructions carefully and completely to become familiar with all parts and installation steps. You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on gate operator safety and proper use of the gate operator. ## 24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com > Figure: Small illustration of a wizard wearing a pointed hat. > Figure: Box with a circular plus-sign symbol and the following text: “GTO Accessories are noted with this symbol in this Installation Manual. Information about accessories can be found on page 28 and at www.linearproaccess.com.” ii LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual ## Page 5 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual iii # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate operator systems. *Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system.* Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety. This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. **CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.** Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol. The symbol identifies conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death. **Because automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.** --- ## How To Manually Open and Close the Gate: **CAUTION:** The gate can be opened and closed manually when the operator is disconnected. **ONLY** disconnect the operator when the operator power switch is **OFF** and the gate is **NOT** moving. ### Disconnecting the Operator 1. Turn operator power switch (Control Box) OFF. 2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from both the front and rear mounting points. 3. Remove the operator from the mount. **CAUTION:** Because the LPA gate operator is battery powered, disconnect the operator **ONLY** when the power switch on the control box is turned **OFF**. Unplugging the transformer does not turn power to the operator **OFF**. **NOTE:** Substitute a Pin Lock [FM345] for the clevis pin on the front mount of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the operator from the gate. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the operator front mount connection. An operator push-pull tube is shown at left, aligned with a **Gate Bracket** at right. Arrows label **Front Mount**, **Clevis Pin**, **Gate Bracket**, **Bushing**, and **Hairpin Clip**. The clevis pin passes downward through the front mount and gate bracket; the bushing and hairpin clip are shown below it. > Figure: Drawing showing a Pin Lock installed in place of the clevis pin at the front mount/gate bracket connection. The lock body hangs below the bracket. No additional labels or dimensions. ## Page 6 iv LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ## For The Consumer **WARNING:** To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. **READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.** Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. 2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion. 3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas. 4. The gate and gate operator installation **must comply with any applicable local codes.** ### I. Before Installation 1. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use, and the proper class rating. 2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system. 3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). 4. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (page vi). 5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. **NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.** 6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times. > Figure: Plan-view diagram titled by the text below as an entrapment-zone layout for a pull-to-open installation. A shaded swing-path area is labeled **ZONE 3**. The leading gate edge and post area at left is labeled **ZONE 1**; the area between the open gate and gate post at right is labeled **ZONE 2**. The space alongside the open gate is labeled **ZONE 4**, and a small shaded area around the operator/gate connection is labeled **ZONE 5**. Labels also include **Driveway** and **Gate in the Open Position**. Dashed outlines indicate the gate travel and hazard areas. **Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation:** **Zone 1** – leading edge of the gate and post. **Zone 2** – between the gate and the gate post. **Zone 3** – the path of the gate. **Zone 4** – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, etc. **Zone 5** – pinch points between the operator and gate. ## Page 7 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual v # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ### II. During Installation 1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. **DO NOT** install an operator on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it. 2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched. 3. **Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection against entrapment.** 4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). **Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate operator.** 5. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement. 6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate. > Figure: Plan-view gate diagram with a dashed rectangular gray area surrounding the moving gate area. Text within the shaded area reads **Moving Gate Area**, **Driveway**, and **NEVER INSTALL any control device within gray area**. Four double-headed dimension arrows identify a 10-foot clearance: **10'** above, below, left, and right of the moving-gate area. The drawing shows a swing gate, post, and operator. ### III. After Installation 1. Attach the **warning signs** *(included)* to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is **your responsibility** to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements. 2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary. 3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop. 4. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous. 5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. **Never let children operate or play with gate controls.** Keep ALL gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them. 6. **KEEP GATE AND GATE Operator PROPERLY MAINTAINED.** Always turn power to operator OFF before performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Apply silicone spray to a soft, dry cloth and clean the push-pull tube at least once a month. ## Page 8 vi LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the LPA Service Department. 8. Disconnect the operator **ONLY** when the power is **TURNED OFF** and the gate is **NOT** moving. 9. Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access. 10. Distribute and discuss copies of the **IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS** section of this manual with all persons authorized to use your gate. 11. **IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.** Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the Linear PRO Access web site (www.linearproaccess.com), by contacting GTO Access Systems., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy. One will be provided to you free of charge. ## Required Safety Precautions for Gates ### Install Warning Signs Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are **required** when installing the LPAO Gate Operator. The Warning Signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed for pedestrian traffic. We recommend using the **GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock [FM145]** for controlled access. ### Entrapment Protection The operator’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, **may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances.** For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment. > Figure: Front elevation drawing of a fenced gate installation. Labels identify **Pedestrian Gate**, **GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (recommended, not included)**, **Warning Sign**, and **Vehicular Gate**. Three locations are labeled **Contact Sensor (recommended, not included)**: at the pedestrian-gate area, along the lower edge of the vehicular gate, and near the gate operator/post. Two ground-level devices are labeled **Photo Beam (recommended, not included)**, one on each side of the vehicular gate. The drawing includes a gate operator/control box at the right side of the vehicular gate. ## Page 9 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual vii # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ## Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The 4000XLS utilizes **Type A**, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the **primary** type of entrapment protection. Also, the 4000XLS has **provisions for** the connection of **Type B1 or B2** protection to be used as the **secondary** type of entrapment protection, if desired. 1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]): A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application. B. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving. C. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier. 2. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]): A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and outside of a vehicular swing gate system. B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage. C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact” means of entrapment protection. > Figure: Diagram of a vehicular swing gate with an operator at the right side. Labels identify: “Leading Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate” at the gate’s leading edge; “Bottom Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate” along the bottom; “Post Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate” at the post edge; and “Photo Beam” at both left and right sides. The gate is labeled “Vehicular Gate.” Arrows point from the labels to the respective sensor locations. ## ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A) The 4000XLS Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an **audio entrapment alarm** which will activate if the unit obstructs **twice** while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm. ## Page 10 viii LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS > Figure: Warning sign with an exclamation-triangle icon and the heading “WARNING.” Drawing shows a person beside a moving swing gate, with a left-pointing arrow.

Materials You may Need for the Installation: Depending on the type of gate and post, you may need some additional materials/hardware. - Low voltage wire [RB509]. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer power supply and the control box. (Page 13) - If the gate is more than 1000’ away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one 10 watt Solar Panel [FM123] to trickle charge the battery. (Page 2) - PVC Conduit. (Page 6) - The diameter of the post should be at least 6” in order to mount the post bracket. (Page 6) - Depending upon the diameter of the post, you may need longer bolts than those provided. Bolts should be at least 1” longer than the diameter of the post. (Page 6) - Metal plate for wooden posts. (Page 6) - A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to the gate. (Page 3) - Some types of installations require U-Bolts. (Page 10) - Surge protection for transformer. (Page 15) - Weatherproof cover for transformer if installed outside. (Page 15) - For push-to-open applications you must have PTO Bracket [R4KPTO]. (Page 22). ## Page 16 ### 7. Installation Overview #### Pull-To-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a Pull-To-Open installation on a chain link fence and single gate. Mounting the operator on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 24. Furthermore, if you have a Push-To-Open gate, see Push-To-Open Installation on page 22 before proceeding. > Figure: Overview diagram of a pull-to-open single chain-link gate installation. Components and labels include: Receiver; Control Box with Battery; Post Bracket Assembly; Single Gate Opener; Power Cable; Warning Sign; Gate Bracket; Closed Position Stop Plate; Horizontal Cross Member; Gate Swings Evenly and Freely Hung Firmly and Plumb; Fence Post Set in Concrete; 120 Volt indoor Transformer; “(surge protector not supplied)”; “Run 1000' (max.) of low voltage wire to control box from transformer (wire not included).”; and “PVC conduit (not included) to protect wire from lawn mowers and weed eaters.” ## Install the Operator ### Install the Post Bracket Assembly The post bracket is designed to work on a flat post. Posts must be at least 6” square in order to bolt the post bracket. When using bolts to mount the post bracket, the bolts must completely penetrate the post. - The best method of attaching the post bracket to a metal post is welding. - If your post exceeds 8”, it will be necessary to use hex head bolts longer than those supplied. - Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the post bracket. - Wood posts will require a metal plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood. - A post smaller than 6” in diameter should be made of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable while the operator is moving the gate. - Masonry columns will require masonry anchors/hardware (not provided). > Figure: Post bracket assembly drawings. Left drawing shows the bracket attached to a flat rectangular post. Right drawing shows the bracket mounted to a round post with two long bolts, washers, and nuts; dashed lines show bolt assembly order through the post. ## Page 17 **Step 1** Close the gate and place your level against the horizontal cross member. Position the level so that the top should be in the center of the cross member and overlaps the post. Scribe a line across the cross member and post. You will use this line to help determine position of post and gate brackets. > Figure: Front view drawing of a closed ornamental gate and gate post. A level is positioned horizontally across the center cross member and overlaps the gate post; a dashed horizontal scribe line extends across the gate and post. **Step 2** Position the post bracket on the post with the mounting holes centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the edge of the post closest to the gate. Mark the position of post bracket holes on the post. > Figure: Detail drawing showing the dashed scribe line crossing a gate cross member and post. A post bracket with mounting holes is positioned on the post, aligned to the line. **Step 3** Drill holes through post as marked using a 1/2” drill bit. Install the post bracket using the 1/2” x 10” carriage bolts, 1/2” flat washers and lock nuts (provided). > Figure: Exploded drawing of a post bracket installed through a wood post. Two **Carriage Bolts** pass through the post; a curved arrow identifies a **Metal reinforcement plate for wood post** fitted on the opposite side. **Step 4** Place the end of post pivot bracket with two holes inside the post bracket. Align the back hole in the post pivot bracket with back hole in the post bracket. Insert 3/8” x 3 3/4” hex head bolt and washer through post pivot bracket and post bracket and secure with 3/8” washer, and lock nut. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the post bracket and Post Pivot Bracket mounted on a post. Labels identify: **3/8" x 3-3/4" Bolt**, **3/8" Washer** (above bracket), **Post Bracket**, **3/8" Washer** (below bracket), **3/8" Lock Nut**, and **Post Pivot Bracket**. ## Page 18 **Step 5** Position the operator rear mount between post pivot bracket. Place a 1/2” bushing above the rear mount and a 3/16” bushing under the rear mount. Align the hole in rear mount, bushings and post pivot bracket and secure with the 3 1/2” clevis pin and hair pin clip. > Figure: Exploded drawing of an Operator rear mount attached between the post pivot bracket. Labels identify **3/8” x 3-1/2” Clevis Pin**, **3/8” x 1/2” Delrin Bushing**, **3/8” x 3/16” Delrin Bushing under rear mount**, **Hairpin Clip**, and **Operator**. **Step 6** Place a 3/16” bushing under the front mount and attach the gate bracket to the front mount using the 1 3/4” clevis pin and hairpin clip. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the operator Front Mount connected to the Gate Bracket. Labels identify **3/8” x 1-3/4” Clevis Pin**, **Front Mount**, **Gate Bracket**, **3/8” x 3/16” Delrin Bushing under front mount**, and **Hairpin Clip**. # Check Clearance **Step 7** Open the gate to the desired open position. Position the operator so that the gate bracket rests against the gate along the level scribed line. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. There should be a minimum clearance of 2” between the widest part of the operator arm and the gate. When you have achieved the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the 3/8” x 3 3/4” bolt and 3/8” flat washer through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place. Clamp the gate bracket to the gate using c-clamps or another type of clamp. **IMPORTANT:** While determining the position of the post pivot bracket, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2“ of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and, more importantly, provides the least possible pinch area. > Figure: Vertical diagram of a gate in the **OPEN POSITION** with the operator attached at the post pivot bracket and clamped to the gate. An inset shows the post bracket and pivot bracket bolt arrangement. Labels identify **Pinch Area**, **2" minimum**, and **Clamp**. Arrows indicate the clearance between the operator arm and gate. ## Page 19 **Step 8** Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate operator is not binding at the post pivot bracket. If you don’t have 2” clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the post bracket and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve the proper clearance. With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and secure with washer and lock nut. Return the operator to the open position and reattach the gate bracket. Recheck the gate operator level and clearance in the open position. Adjustment of the gate bracket will be necessary if the post bracket was moved. After verifying clearance, make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely. > Figure: Side-view diagram of a gate in the **CLOSED POSITION** with the operator below the gate. Labels identify **2" minimum**, **Pinch Area**, **MAX 22"**, and **Clamp**. An inset shows the post pivot bracket adjustment hardware. # Install Gate Bracket **Step 9** Detach the front mount from the gate bracket. Check that the gate bracket holes are centered over the scribe line. Mark the gate in the center of the gate bracket holes. Remove the gate bracket and drill the 1/2” holes through the gate cross member and attach the gate bracket using the 1/2” x 2 3/4” bolts, washers and lock nuts. > Figure: Installation drawing showing the operator front mount and gate bracket beneath a **LEVEL horizontal cross member**. Text instructs: **Mark cross member through middle of gate bracket slots and drill 1/2" holes**. > Lower diagrams show **FRONT VIEW** and **SIDE VIEW** mounting arrangements for a **Round Tube & Chain Link Gate** and a **Square Tube Gate**. A further front and side view shows a **Mounting Plate Created for Decorative Gate (required but not supplied)**. # Attach Operator **Step 10** Make sure the gate is in the open position and the operator arm is fully retracted. Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Lock [FM345]. Verify that the operator is level, bolts are tight, and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary. > Figure: Perspective drawing labeled **Gate In Open Position**. The operator extends from the **Fence Post** to the gate bracket. Labels identify **Level Operator** and **Clevis Pin, Bushing, and Hairpin Clip**. ## Page 20 # Install Closed Position Stop Plate The closed position stop plate helps to stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position. To further enhance the stability and security of your gate, install the optional GTO Automatic Gate Lock [FM144] **Step 11** Remove hairpin, clevis pin, and 3/16” bushing from front mount and close the gate. Fasten the closed position stop plate to the end of the gate frame on the gate center-line (in line with the operator arm), but do not tighten it completely. Slide the closed position stop plate toward the post until they touch. Once you have moved the closed position stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely. Use the appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for tube or chain link gate; wood or lag screws for wood gates, etc.). This hardware is not provided. **Step 12** Return gate to the open position and reattach operator to gate. > Figure: Diagram showing a gate swinging from the **Gate Hinge** toward a **Closed Position Stop Plate**. A curved arrow states: **The gate must open 110° (max.)**. > A front-view detail labels **Gate Post**, **Fence Post**, and **Closed Position Stop Plate mounted on metal post with U-bolts.** A top-view detail shows the gate post and fence post in section, labeled **TOP VIEW**. > Figure: Perspective drawing of an ornamental **Gate In Closed Position** between posts.

Four arrows point toward screws being installed to reattach the control box. # Mounting the Receiver ### Step 1 Temporarily mount the receiver at this time. You will need to use the transmitter (page 18) to check the range of the receiver *before permanently mounting* it. You may have to try different locations before permanently mounting the receiver. The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference. **Mount the receiver:** - Ensuring a line-of-sight between transmitter and antenna. - At least 3 feet away from AC voltage. - As high as possible for optimum range. - DO NOT mount receiver upside down. - DO NOT mount receiver on metal fence or post (this will decrease signal range). If attaching receiver to metal fence, you should mount receiver on a piece of wood attached to the fence (see illustration). **The receiver cable:** - Cable length is 10 ft. (receivers with longer cables are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). - NEVER splice receiver cable! - Run the receiver cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage. - DO NOT run cable in conduit containing AC wiring. > Figure: Receiver with antenna is mounted upright on a piece of wood attached to a fence post and metal fence rails. A cable hangs down from the receiver. Label and arrow: “Receiver mounted on piece of wood.” > Figure: Boxed FCC notice: > > This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following conditions: > > 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. > 2. This device must accept an interference that may cause undesired operation. > > Transmitter distance may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 12 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual ## Page 23 # Connect Operator Power Cable ### Step 1 Loosen sealing nut on strain relief hub at bottom of control box. Insert power cable into control box through strain relief. Thread approximately 6” of the power cable into the control box and re-tighten sealing nut until the power cable locks into place. > Figure: Exploded drawing of a strain relief assembly. Labels: “Strain Relief,” “Lock Nut,” “Hub,” and “Sealing Nut.” > Figure: Open control box with an operator power cable entering through the lower strain relief. Arrows identify “Strain Relief” and “Operator Power Cable.” ### Step 2 Insert the stripped power cable wires into the appropriate terminals on the MASTER OPERATOR terminal block. Insert the green wire into the GRN terminal, white wire into WHT, blue wire into BLUE, brown wire into BRN, orange wire into ORG, red wire into RED, black wire into the BLK. Tighten the set screws against the end of the wires. **NEVER SPLICE WIRES.** Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire’s ability to carry an adequate current. > Figure: Control-board terminal diagram. A seven-wire cable labeled “Power Cable from the Master Operator Arm” connects to the “MASTER OPERATOR” terminal block. Terminal labels, top to bottom: “GRN,” “WHT,” “BLU,” “BRN,” “ORG,” “RED,” and “BLK.” Other readable terminal labels: “CONTROL INPUTS,” “COM,” “COM,” “CYCLE,” “SAFETY,” “EXIT,” “SHADOW,” “CLOSE EDGE,” “OPEN EDGE,” “GTO RCVR.,” “GRN,” “BLK,” “RED,” and “RECEIVER.” > Figure: Three wire-terminal examples. “Correct” shows the screw tightened against the stripped wire. Two “Wrong” examples are labeled “Screwed into wire insulation” and “Exposed strands of wire.” LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual 13 ## Page 24 # Connect the Power Input **IMPORTANT:** - The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged only an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover/housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used. - The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge stranded, low voltage, direct burial wire [RB509]. This gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft. - DO NOT use telephone wire or solid wire. - NEVER SPLICE WIRES. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire’s ability to carry an adequate current. - **NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME! Doing so will damage the control board.** - If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an AC power source, you will need to use at least 10 watts solar charging power [FM122/FM123] to charge the battery. Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate Activity Chart on page 2. ### Step 1 Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. > Figure: Control box with a magnified view of its ON/OFF switch, shown in the OFF position. Label: “ON/OFF.” ### Step 2 Select the electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid (allow for an additional 6” to be pulled into the control box). ### Step 3 Lay the low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Bury the wire in the trench. ### Step 4 Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief opening on the lower left of the control box. Pull 6” to 8” of wire into the control box. > Figure: Open control box with wires routed upward from a PVC pipe through the lower-left strain-relief opening. Labels and arrows: “Power Cable from Master Arm,” “Low Voltage Wire from Transformer,” and “PVC Pipe.” 14 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual ## Page 25 ### Step 5 Strip the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach these ends to the 18 VAC OR SOLAR terminals located on the POWER INPUTS terminal block. Be certain **not to let the exposed wires touch each other!** Insert one transformer wire into an 18 VAC OR SOLAR terminal. Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining 18 VAC OR SOLAR terminal. The transformer wires can be connected to the 18 VAC OR SOLAR terminals regardless of color/polarity. Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. > Figure: Control-board wiring diagram. A two-conductor cable labeled “Low Voltage Wire from AC Transformer or Solar Panel” enters the board. The conductors are labeled “RED” and “BLACK” and connect to the “18 VAC OR SOLAR” terminals in the “POWER INPUTS” terminal block. Other readable board labels: “INPUT POWER,” “CONTROL OUTPUTS,” “PWR,” “LOCK,” “RLY,” “AUX,” “2ND OPERATOR,” and “MASTER OPERATOR.” Terminal wire-color labels shown: GRN, WHT, BLU, BRN, ORG, RED, BLK. ### Step 6 At the transformer, strip 1/2” of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. Attach wires to the transformer terminals. **Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other.** > Figure: Drawing of a transformer with two low-voltage wires attached to its terminals. A screwdriver is shown tightening a terminal screw. ### Step 7 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. (Use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly recommended.) IMPORTANT: This is a class II indoor transformer; if using transformer outdoors be sure to enclose it in a weatherproof case. > Figure: Drawing showing a “Class 2 Transformer” plugging into a “SURGE PROTECTOR,” which plugs into a wall outlet. An arrow points to the transformer. ## Page 26 # Control Board Settings ## Set Closed Position Limit (for Pull-To-Open Applications) ### Step 1 Power switch is on, gate is in the **OPEN** position, operator arm fully retracted. > Figure: Gate diagram labeled “Gate in OPEN Position.” The operator arm is retracted, and an arrow identifies the “Control Box.” An inset shows the power switch labeled “ON/OFF.” ### Step 2 Press the transmitter to activate operator arm. The gate will begin to **CLOSE.** > Figure: Gate diagram labeled “Gate Closing.” The operator arm extends and a curved arrow indicates gate-closing direction. The control box is labeled. A transmitter is shown. ### Step 3 When the gate reaches the desired **CLOSED** position, press the transmitter to stop the gate. > Figure: Gate diagram labeled “Gate Closed,” with the gate in its closed position. The control box is labeled. A transmitter is shown. ### Step 4 With the gate at the correct position, program the closed limit setting by pressing and holding LEARN MAST LIMIT. > Figure: Close-up of control-board buttons. An arrow labeled “Learn Master Limit Button” points to the “LEARN MAST LIMIT” button, identified as S2. Nearby labels include “LEARN” and “2ND LIMIT,” with buttons S3 and S4. ### Step 5 Press the transmitter again to allow the gate to return to the fully **OPEN** position. > Figure: Gate diagram labeled “Gate in OPEN Position.” A curved arrow indicates return movement toward open. The control box and a transmitter are shown. The gate closed position is now programmed. If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position: press your transmitter to return the gate to the fully opened position, then press and hold the LEARN MAST LIMIT button for 5 seconds. This will clear the memory for the closed limit position. Repeat Steps 1-5. ## Page 27 # Adjust the Stall Force Setting The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board controls the obstruction sensitivity (or the amount of force the operator will apply to an obstruction for two (2) seconds before it automatically stops and reverses direction). **IMPORTANT:** For safety reasons the stall force setting will need to be adjusted for your particular application. The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board operates like a volume control on a radio. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to adjust the potentiometer. Adjust the stall force from the MIN position until the gate operates smoothly without obstructing from its own weight or wind conditions. NOTE: you may need to increase the stall force in cold temperatures due to increased resistance from gate hinges. > Figure: Enlarged “STALL FORCE” potentiometer diagram with MIN at left and MAX at right. Curved arrows show adjustment direction. An arrow points from the enlarged control to the stall-force control on the control board. Nearby board labels include “AUTO CLOSE TIME,” “OFF,” “120,” “SOFT START,” “WARNING,” “OPEN,” “2ND OPEN DLY.,” “MODE1,” “MODE2,” and DIP-switch positions. # Set Auto Close Time The Auto-Close Time potentiometer controls the Auto-Close feature, and determines how long the gate will remain open (at the fully open position) before it begins to close. The settings for this feature are OFF, or from 3 to 120 seconds. Adjust the Auto-Close potentiometer by using a small flat blade screwdriver. > Figure: Control-board close-up. An arrow labeled “Auto Close Time Potentiometer” points to the “AUTO CLOSE TIME” control. The control is labeled “OFF” at one end and “120” at the other. Adjacent control is labeled “STALL FORCE,” with “MIN” and “MAX.” Other readable labels: “STATUS,” “LEARN RMT,” “LEARN MAST LIMIT,” “LEARN 2ND LIMIT,” “SOFT START,” “WARNING,” “OPEN,” “2ND OPEN DLY.,” “MODE1,” “MODE2,” and “ON DIP.” ## Page 28 # Program Your Personal Transmitter Setting All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate your GTO gate operator. For your safety and security, we strongly recommend that you replace the factory setting with your own personal setting. Follow the directions below: NOTE: If you have multiple transmitters, you should adjust all of them at this time. [RB741/RB742/RB743]. ### Step 1 Use a small phillips head screw driver to remove the transmitter cover. > Figure: Exploded drawing of a transmitter. The cover is removed, exposing the circuit board, DIP switches, LED, and an “A23S 12V ALKALINE BATTERY.” Two cover screws are shown. ### Step 2 Set the transmitter DIP switches using a small screwdriver. There are nine (9) switches; each can be placed in three different positions (+, 0, –). **DO NOT** set all the switches in the same position, such as all +, all 0, or all –. Once the DIP switches have been reset, replace and close the access cover. WARNING: No other adjustments should be made inside the transmitter. > Figure: DIP-switch diagram labeled 1 through 9, with position indicators “+,” “0,” and “–,” and “ECE.” A drawing below shows the nine physical switches and arrows indicating their three-position adjustment. ### Step 3 Program the new setting into the control board: A. Press and hold transmitter button. B. Press and hold the LEARN RMT (Learn Remote) button on the control board until the alarm sounds. C. Release transmitter button. The new code is stored in control board memory. D. Release the LEARN RMT (Learn Remote) button. NOTE: If you have purchased additional transmitters, program the settings for all at this time. > Figure: Control-board close-up. An arrow labeled “Learn Remote Button” points to the “LEARN RMT” button, identified as S3. Other visible labels include “STATUS,” “LEARN MAST LIMIT,” “LEARN 2ND LIMIT,” S2, S4, “AUTO CLOSE TIME,” “STALL FORCE,” and “ON DIP.” ### Step 4 **AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD TEST RECEIVER RANGE BEFORE PERMANENTLY INSTALLING IT.** > Figure: Wizard illustration beside the troubleshooting notice. **24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com** The Troubleshooting Wizard has detailed information this and other Installations. ## Page 29 # DIP Switch Settings ## DIP Switches DIP Switch Settings (MODES) **DIP Switch #1: Soft Start/Stop** ON– Soft start enabled (factory preset). OFF– Soft start disabled. The Soft Start/Stop feature slowly starts the gate as it begins to open and slows the gate as it comes to the closed position. This saves wear and tear on the gate and gate operator system. **DIP Switch #2: Warning Buzzer** ON– Buzzer warning enabled (factory preset). OFF– Buzzer warning disabled. The Warning Buzzer alerts you when the gate operator is beginning to either open or close the gate. It sounds for the first 2 seconds in each direction. It also sounds a warning when the gate obstructs two times in one cycle. Switching this to OFF only disables the open and close warning not the obstruction warning. **DIP Switch #3: Push/Pull-To-Open** ON: Push-To-Open. OFF: Pull-To-Open (factory preset). If your gate opens into the property the DIP Switch is set to the OFF position (factory setting). If your gate opens out from the property the DIP Switch must be set to the ON position. NOTE: if you have a Push-to-Open gate application you will need a Push-To-Open bracket (see Push-To-Open Instructions on page 22). **DIP Switch #4: Dual Operation** ON– Second opens simultaneously with master. OFF– Second opens after master (factory preset). Note: Not applicable for single gate operator. > Figure: Diagram of the operator control board and DIP switch settings. An enlarged four-position DIP switch is labeled `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `ON`, `DIP`, with OFF and ON indicated by a double-headed arrow. Arrows identify each switch. Board labels include: `AUTO CLOSE TIME`, `STALL FORCE`, `STATUS`, `LEARN RMT`, `LEARN MAST LIMIT`, `LEARN 2ND LIMIT`, `S3`, `S2`, `S4`; DIP-setting labels read `SOFT START — OFF / ON`, `WARNING — OFF / ON`, `OPEN — PULL / PUSH`, `2ND OPEN — DLY. / SIMULT.`, `MODE1 — OFF / ON`, and `MODE2 — OFF / ON`.

A Push-To-Open installation requires the purchase of a Push-To-Open Bracket [R4KPTO]. **In a Push-To-Open installation the operator is installed while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.** ## Install the Operator Follow directions for installing the 4000XLS beginning on page 7. *The Push-To-Open installation differs from the Pull-To-Open installation in the following ways:* 1. In a Push-To-Open installation, the arm fully extends to open the gate, and it fully retracts to close the gate. (C) 2. You will install the operator while the gate is in the **CLOSED POSITION** (arm **fully retracted**). (A) 3. You must use the Push-to-Open Post Pivot Bracket [R4KPTO] in the Post Bracket assembly. (B) 4. IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for 2” clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions (see diagram below). This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area. (C) > Figure: Diagram A, labeled `Gate In Closed Position` and `A`, showing a gate operator installed on a fence post with the arm retracted. Labels identify `Level Operator`, `Clevis Pin, Bushing, and Hairpin Clip`, and `Fence Post`. > Figure: Exploded assembly diagram B for the post bracket. Labels and parts: `3/8" x 3-3/4" Bolt`, `3/8" Washer` (two), `Post Bracket`, `3/8" Lock Nut`, and `Push-To-Open Post Pivot Bracket (R4KPTO)`. > Figure: Diagram C showing operator and gate positions. The upper view is labeled `Gate in the Open Position`, with `Clamp`, `Pinch Area`, and `MAX 22"`. The lower view is labeled `Gate in the Closed Position`, with `Clamp`, `Pinch Area`, and `2" minimum` clearance between gate and operator. Another `2" minimum` label appears in the open-position view. > Figure: Wizard-hat illustration beside the note: `*The Troubleshooting Wizard has detailed information on Push-To-Open installations.` ## Page 33 ### Set Control Board for Push-To-Open Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. Use a small screwdriver to move the Number 3 DIP switch from the factory setting (OFF / Pull-To-Open) to ON for Push-To-Open. Turn power switch ON. The control board is now configured to push the gate open. > Figure: Control-board detail showing DIP switch bank numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and an enlarged view of the Number 3 switch. Arrow labels indicate **ON** upward and **OFF** downward. An arrow identifies **DIP#3** on the control board. Labels: “ON: Push-to-open operation.” “OFF: Pull-to-open operation (factory setting).” ### Setting the Open Position Limit (Push-To-Open Installations) **Step 1** Power switch is on, gate is in the **CLOSED** position, operator arm fully retracted. > Figure: Step 1 illustration. A control box power switch is shown marked “ON/OFF.” Diagram shows gate in closed position with retracted operator arm. Labels: “Gate in Closed Postion” [sic], “Control Box.” **Step 2** Press the transmitter to activate operator arm. The gate will begin to **OPEN**. > Figure: Step 2 illustration. A transmitter is shown beside a gate diagram. Curved arrow indicates gate opening. Labels: “Gate Opening,” “Gate,” “Control Box.” **Step 3** When the gate reaches the desired **OPEN** position, press the transmitter to stop the gate. > Figure: Step 3 illustration. Transmitter shown beside an opened gate. Labels: “Gate Opened,” “Control Box.” **Step 4** With the master gate at the correct position, program the open limit setting by pressing and holding **LEARN MAST LIMIT**. > Figure: Control-board close-up showing pushbuttons and labels “LEARN MAST LIMIT,” “LEARN 2ND LIMIT,” button identifiers “S3,” “S2,” and “S4.” Arrow identifies the “Learn Master Limit Button.” **Step 5** Press the transmitter again to allow the gate to return to the fully **CLOSED** position. Gate is now programmed > Figure: Step 5 illustration. Transmitter shown beside a closed-gate diagram. Labels: “Gate in Closed Postion” [sic], “Gate open position is now programmed,” and “Control Box.” The gate open position is now programmed. If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position: press your transmitter to return the gate to the fully closed position, then press and hold the LEARN MAST LIMIT button for 5 seconds. This will clear the memory for the open limit position. Repeat Steps 1-5. ## Page 34 ### Column Installation If this operator will be used with gates that are mounted on masonry, brick, or rock (etc.) columns, read the following carefully before proceeding A. The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength. B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the column. C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!* > Figure: Diagram titled “With Pivot Bracket.” A gate extends rightward from a column. Arrow identifies the “Hinge” at the gate pivot. Another arrow identifies “Pivot Bracket” below the column.
