(1.8 m) above grade. **INDEPENDENT MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE:** An entrapment protection device is independent if it is a different type (photoelectric sensors, edge device, inherent protection device) from the other devices in the same entrapment zone. Use the *Site Planning Safety Checklist* in the appendix to identify entrapment zones found in your installation. ### Requirements - A **minimum of two** independent monitored entrapment protection devices are required to be installed at each entrapment zone. - It is the responsibility of the installer to install external monitored entrapment protection devices for **each entrapment zone**. - The operator will only operate with a **minimum of two** independent monitored entrapment protection devices installed in each direction; two in the open direction and two in the closed direction. Acceptable entrapment protection device types include: - Inherent (built into the operator) - LiftMaster monitored external photoelectric sensors, see page 1 for acceptable sensors. - LiftMaster monitored external edge sensors, see page 1 for acceptable sensors. > Figure: Box titled “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.” A gray warning bar contains a triangle/exclamation symbol and “WARNING.” Text states: “To reduce the risk of severe INJURY or DEATH:” > • READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. > • NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. > • ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. > • Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with an object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact 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. > • Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is not moving. > • KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. > • Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware. > • The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance. > • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 3 ## Page 4 # SAFETY ## Safety Installation Information 1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application. 2. 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 systems design and installation must reduce exposure to potential hazards. 3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every gate system design. Specific safety features include: - Edges Sensors (contact) - Guards for Exposed Rollers - Photoelectric Sensors - Screen Mesh - Instructional and Precautionary Signage 4. Install the gate operator only when: a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate. b. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inches (6 cm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position. c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers. 5. The gate 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 pedestrian access such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. 6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. 7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. 8. Permanently mounted access controls intended for users to activate, must be located at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police) may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate. 9. For a gate operator utilizing a Stop and/or Reset button, it must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start. 10. A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed in the area of the gate. Each warning sign is to be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on which the sign is installed. 11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor: a. See Install Entrapment Protection section for placement of non-contact sensor 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. 12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor: a. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. b. 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. c. A wireless device 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 device shall function under the intended end-use conditions. ## Role of Dealers, Installers, and Trained Gate System Technicians - Ensure entire system being designed, manufactured, and installed meets all applicable standards and codes including UL 325 and ASTM F2200. - Demonstrate the basic functions and safety features of the gate system to owners/end users/general contractors, including how to turn off power and how to operate the manual disconnect feature. - Leave safety instructions, product literature, installation manual and maintenance manual with end user. - Explain to the owners the importance of testing by a trained gate system technician that includes a routine re-testing of the entire system including the entrapment protection devices, and explain the need for the owners to insure that this testing is performed monthly. ## Role of End Users/Home Owners - Contact a trained gate systems technician to maintain and repair the gate system (End users should never attempt to repair the gate system). - Retain and utilize the installation manual and maintenance and important safety instructions; see page 36. - Routinely check all gate operator functions and gate movement. - Discontinue use if safety systems operate improperly, the gate is damaged, or the gate is difficult to move. Contact trained gate systems technician to repair the gate system. - Prominently display and maintain warning signs on both sides of the gate. 4 ## Page 5 # SAFETY ## Gate Construction Information Vehicular gates should be installed in accordance with ASTM F2200: Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction.

Refer to the manual included with your entrapment protection device for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. **Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.** Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board. *NOTE: Board inputs for entrapment protection devices are yellow.* ### Control Board **CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT** (2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening. **CLOSE EDGE** (2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening. **OPEN EYES/EDGE** (2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4 seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing. > Figure: Control-board terminal wiring diagram. Terminal labels shown vertically: “SHADOW,” “CLOSE EYES / INTERRUPT,” “CLOSE EDGE,” and “OPEN EYES / EDGE.” Wiring callout labels: “Close Photoelectric Sensors,” “Close Edge,” and “Open Photoelectric Sensors OR Open Edge.” Plus and minus polarity symbols are shown at terminals. Dashed wiring indicates an optional open edge connection. A callout points from the wiring diagram to the corresponding terminals on a control board. ### Expansion Board **EYE ONLY and COM** Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the terminals) **Switch set to CLOSE:** gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed **Switch set to OPEN:** gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is sensed **EYE/EDGE and COM** Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors or Edge Sensor, the functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the terminals) **Switch set to CLOSE:** gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed **Switch set to OPEN:** gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is sensed **WIRELESS EDGE** Connection for wireless edge receiver. **NOTE:** ONLY one wireless edge receiver may be connected to an operator. Up to 4 wireless edge transmitters LMWETXU may be programmed to the receiver. > Figure: Expansion-board terminal wiring diagram.

The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length. 1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator. 2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator. *NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to lightning and surge damage.* > Figure: Cross-section diagram of an earth ground rod installed in soil. A wire from the rod is labeled “To operator.” A vertical double-headed arrow beside the rod is labeled “Check national and local codes for proper depth.” ### Step 6 Power Wiring > Figure: Warning banner with exclamation-mark and electrical-hazard symbols and the word “WARNING.” To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: - ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. - Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. *NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.* - ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual. - DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram. - ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled. - ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit. The operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or 240 Vac or a solar panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application. An optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120 Vac (refer to Accessories). For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits. **SOLAR APPLICATIONS:** For solar applications refer to *Solar Panels* section in the Appendix. Follow the directions according to your application. *NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the operator.* | AMERICAN WIRE GAUGE (AWG) | STANDARD OPERATOR: 120 VAC, 10A (includes fully loaded outlets) | STANDARD OPERATOR: 120 VAC, 4A | STANDARD OPERATOR: 240 VAC, 2A | OPERATOR + ACCESSORIES POWERED BY TRANSFORMER KIT: 208 VAC, 4.8A | 240 VAC, 4.2A | 480 VAC, 2.1A | 575 VAC, 1.7A | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | 14 | 100 (30.5 m) | 250 (76.2 m) | 1,000 (304.8 m) | 360 (109.7 m) | 480 (146.3 m) | 1,900 (579.1 m) | 2,800 (853.4 m) | | 12 | 160 (48.8 m) | 400 (121.9 m) | 1,600 (487.7 m) | 570 (173.7 m) | 750 (228.6 m) | 3,000 (914.4 m) | 4,500 (1,371.6 m) | | 10 | 250 (76.2 m) | 630 (192 m) | 2,500 (762 m) | 900 (274.3 m) | 1,200 (365.8 m) | 4,800 (1,463 m) | 7,100 (2,164.1 m) | | 8 | 400 (121.9 m) | 1,000 (304.8 m) | 4,000 (1,219.2 m) | 1,400 (426.7 m) | 1,900 (579.1 m) | 7,600 (2,316.5 m) | 11,300 (3,444.2 m) | | 6 | 636 (193.9 m) | 1,600 (487.7 m) | 6,400 (1950.7 m) | 2,300 (701 m) | 3,000 (914.4 m) | 12,100 (3,688.1 m) | 18,000 (5,486.4 m) | | 4 | 1,000 (304.8 m) | 2,500 (762 m) | 10,100 (3,078.5 m) | 3,700 (1,127.8 m) | 4,800 (1,463 m) | 19,300 (5,882.6 m) | 28,500 (8,686.8 m) | *Chart assumes: copper wire, 65°C, 5% drop* ## Page 17 # INSTALLATION All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings. ### 240 VAC only The accessory outlet is disabled and cannot be used with the 240 Vac option. 1.

To synchronize the closing of the gates, set the BIPART DELAY switch to ON for both operators. > Figure: Control board with a magnified view of two vertical switches. The magnified switches are labeled “BATT FAIL” and “BIPART DELAY.” The BIPART DELAY switch positions are labeled “OFF” at top and “ON” at bottom. The adjacent BATT FAIL switch is labeled “CLOSE” at top and “OPEN” at bottom. Labels “R187” and “R188” appear between the switches. ## Page 22 # INSTALLATION ## Step 9 Install the Cover **Before installing the cover, follow the instructions in the Adjustment section to adjust the limits and force.** The operator cover consists of two pieces: a rear cover and a front cover. The front cover can easily be removed to access the electrical box. To access the reset switch slide the access door up. The front cover and access door can be locked with the key. 1. Align the tabs on the rear cover with the slots on the chassis and place the cover over the operator. 2. Secure both sides of the rear cover to the chassis with two 5/16-18 lead in screws. 3. Align the front cover with the back cover, making sure the grooves line up. 4. Secure the front cover to the chassis with two 5/16-18 lead in screws. 5. Secure the front cover to the rear cover using the 5/16-18 lead in screw. > Figure: Exploded installation drawing of a LiftMaster gate operator cover. The rear cover is lowered over the operator chassis; downward arrows show installation. Labels identify “Tabs on Rear Cover,” “5/16-18 Lead In Screws” on both sides of the rear cover/chassis, and “5/16-18 Lead In Screw” fastening the front cover to the rear cover.

The front cover is shown being aligned with the operator, with an arrow at the labeled “Groove on Front Cover.” The front cover includes a LiftMaster badge and an “Access Door” at the bottom with a key lock. ### To Lock the Access Door From the factory the access door for the reset switch will not be locked. To lock the access door follow the steps below: 1. Locate the lock tab on the back of the front cover and remove the screw securing the tab to the cover. 2. Turn the tab 180 degrees, then secure with the screw. The access door can now be locked. > Figure: Front cover and enlarged rear view of its lower section, labeled “(back of front cover).” The enlarged view identifies the “Lock Tab,” “Access Door,” and “Factory Default position.” The lock tab is shown secured by a screw and positioned beside the access-door opening. ## Page 23 # INSTALLATION ## Step 10 Install Warning Signs Installers MUST install the UL required warning signs. The signs MUST be installed in plain view on **both sides** of each gate installed. Use the fastening holes in each corner to permanently secure the sign. > Figure: Sliding gate installation with a warning sign attached to the gate. A circular inset enlarges the sign. Readable sign text includes “WARNING,” “Moving Gate Can Cause Serious Injury or Death,” and “Place warning signs on both sides of the gate in clear view.” ## The basic installation is complete. ## Page 24 # ADJUSTMENT ## Limit and Force Adjustment > ⚠ **WARNING** To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: - Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate. - Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. - NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate. - NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate. - 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 an object. ### Introduction Your operator is designed with electronic controls to make travel limit and force adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the gate will stop in the open and close position. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the limits but should be fine tuned using the REVERSAL FORCE dial on the control board (refer to *Fine Tune the Force* section) to compensate for environmental changes. The limit setup LEDs (located next to the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons) indicate the status of the limits, refer to the table to the right. The limits can be set using the control board (below) or a remote control (refer to *Limit Setup with a Remote Control* in the Appendix). Setting the limits with a remote control requires a 3-button remote control programmed to OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP. **NOTE:** *The TEST buttons on the control board will not work until the limits have been set and the required entrapment protection devices are installed.* | LIMIT SETUP LEDS | | | | |---|---|---|---| | SET OPEN LED | SET CLOSE LED | OPERATOR MODE | EXPLANATION | | OFF | OFF | NORMAL MODE | Limits are set | | BLINKING | BLINKING | LIMIT SETTING MODE | Limits are not set | | BLINKING | ON | LIMIT SETTING MODE | Open limit is not set | | ON | BLINKING | LIMIT SETTING MODE | Close limit is not set | | ON | ON | LIMIT SETTING MODE | Limits are set | ### Initial Limits and Force Adjustment **For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting the limits and force.** **For slide gate applications the open limit and closed limit MUST be set at least four feet apart.** If a mistake is made while programming the limits, press the reset button to start over. 1. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously to enter limit setting mode. 2. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to the open or close limit. 3. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on which limit is being set. 4. Press and hold one of the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to the other limit. 5. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending on which limit is being set. 6. Cycle the gate open and close. This automatically sets the force. **When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit setting mode.** > Figure: Control board with six numbered callout illustrations showing limit setup sequence. > 1. A hand presses the “SET OPEN” and “SET CLOSE” buttons simultaneously. > 2. “MOVE GATE” up and down arrow buttons are shown. > 3. “SET OPEN” and “SET CLOSE” buttons are shown, with one button selected. > 4. “MOVE GATE” buttons are shown with arrows and a label, “PRESS TO RELEASE SET LIMIT.” > 5. “SET OPEN” and “SET CLOSE” buttons are shown again, with one button selected. > 6. A gate is shown cycling between open and closed positions, indicated by an arrow. ## Page 25 # ADJUSTMENT ### Fine Tune the Force Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL is set to minimum at the factory. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The force setting is the same for both directions. 1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS. 2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly clockwise. 3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit and force setting adjustment (see below). > Figure: Control board illustration with enlarged callouts. The upper callout is labeled “TEST BUTTONS” and shows three buttons labeled “OPEN,” “CLOSE,” and “STOP.” The lower callout is labeled “REVERSAL FORCE” and shows a dial with “MIN” at left and “MAX” at right; curved arrows indicate adjustment direction. Board label “LiftMaster” is readable. ### Adjust the Limits After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section. > Figure: Control board illustration with enlarged callout showing a hand pressing two buttons labeled “SET OPEN” and “SET CLOSE.” ### Obstruction Test The operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator will reverse direction of the gate and then stop. The following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built in to the operator) obstruction sensing device: 1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions. 2. Either place an object between the open gate and the fixed closed catch post or obstruct the gate by hand. Make sure that any external entrapment protection devices, such as an edge or photoelectric sensor will NOT be activated by the object or by hand. 3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the object or hand. If the gate does not reverse, reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both the open and close limits, but MUST reverse after contact with an object or hand. 4. Repeat the test for the open direction. **Test the operator after any adjustments are made.** > Figure: Step 1 shows the control board with an enlarged “TEST BUTTONS” callout labeled “OPEN,” “CLOSE,” and “STOP,” and a “REVERSAL FORCE” dial labeled “MIN” and “MAX.” Steps 2 and 3 show sliding gate obstruction tests. Step 2 shows either an object placed between the open gate and fixed closed catch post, or a person obstructing the gate by hand; “OR” appears between the alternatives. Step 3 shows the gate moving in the opposite direction with arrows and either an object or a person’s hand obstructing it; “OR” appears between the alternatives. ## Page 26 # PROGRAMMING ## Remote Controls (Not Provided) A total of 50 Security+ 2.0® remote controls or KPW250 keypads and 2 keyless entries (1 PIN for each keyless entry) can be programmed to the operator. When programming a third keyless entry to the operator, the first keyless entry will be erased to allow the third keyless entry to be programmed. When the operator’s memory is full, it will exit programming mode and the remote control will not be programmed. The memory will need to be erased before programming any additional remote controls. *NOTE: If installing an 86LM to extend the range of the remote controls DO NOT straighten the antenna.* > Figure: Illustration of an operator control board with enlarged callouts.

The status as shown by the LiftMaster Internet Gateway app will be either “open” or “closed”. The gate operator can then be controlled through the LiftMaster Internet Gateway app. ### Erase All Codes 1. Press and release the LEARN button (operator will beep and green XMITTER LED will light). 2. Press and hold the LEARN button again until the green XMITTER LED flashes and release the button (approximately 6 seconds). All remote control codes are now erased. ### Erase Limits 1. To erase the limits, press and hold the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously (5 seconds) until both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs blink rapidly and the operator beeps. 2. Release the buttons and the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs will blink slowly indicating the limits will need to be set. ### Constant Pressure Override (CPO) Constant Pressure Override is for use with KPW5 and KPW250 keypads (not provided). The KPW5/KPW250 wireless commercial keypads are security keypads and can only be programmed to ONE gate operator (see the KPW5/KPW250 manual for complete programming instructions). The Constant Pressure Override feature is intended to temporarily override a fault in the entrapment protection system, in order to operate the gate until the external entrapment protection device is realigned or repaired. Use the feature only in line of sight of the gate when no obstructions to travel are present. External entrapment protection devices include LiftMaster monitored photoelectric sensors and LiftMaster monitored wired and wireless edge sensors. Be sure to repair or replace these devices promptly if they are not working properly. **To use Constant Pressure Override:** 1. Enter a valid 4-digit PIN. 2. Press and hold # for 5 seconds to enter CPO. Continue to hold # to keep the operator in motion. A continuous tone will sound until limit is met and/or # is released. 3. The operator will stop when either the operator reaches a limit or the user releases #. ### Gate Hold Open Feature The gate hold open feature will disable the timer and keep the gate at the open limit. The gate hold open feature can be activated through the Reset Button as described on Page 29 or through the KPW5 and KPW250 keypads (not provided). **To use the gate hold open feature:** 1. Enter a valid 4-digit PIN when the gate is at the Open Limit and the timer is running 2. The Operator will chirp indicating the timer is canceled. **To restart the gate:** 1. Re-enter the 4-digit PIN 2. Activate a Hard input or a programmed remote ### To Remove and Erase Monitored Entrapment Protection Devices 1. Remove the entrapment protection device wires from the terminal block. 2. Press and release both SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously. The SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs will turn on (entering learn limit mode). 3. Press and release both SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons again to turn off the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs (exiting learn limit mode). ## Page 28 # OPERATION ## Gate Operator Setup Examples The following are example setups for the gate operator.

See *Adjust Limits* section. section. **2 SET CLOSE Button:** The SET CLOSE button sets the CLOSE limit. See *Adjust Limits* section. **3 MOVE GATE Buttons:** The MOVE GATE buttons will either open or close the gate when the operator is in Manual Setup mode. See *Adjustment* section. **4 BATT FAIL:** - When AC power is OFF and battery voltage is critically low the gate will latch at a limit until AC power is restored or batteries voltage increases. - Option select switch set to OPEN forces gate to automatically open and then latch at the OPEN limit until AC power is restored or battery voltage increases. - Option select switch set to CLOSE forces gate to latch at CLOSE limit if at CLOSE limit or on next CLOSE command until AC power restored or battery voltage increases. - Constant pressure on a hard command input overrides to open or close the gate. - Critically low battery is less than 23 V **5 BIPART DELAY Switch:** The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used only for dual gates. See Bipart Delay section. **6 LEARN Button:** The LEARN button is for programming remote controls and the network. **7 TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial:** The TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC) dial can be set to automatically close the gate after a specified time period. The TTC is factory set to OFF. If the TTC is set to the OFF position, then the gate will remain open until the operator receives another command from a control. Rotate the TIMER-TO-CLOSE dial to the desired setting. The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF. **NOTE:** Any radio command, single button control, or CLOSE command on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the open controls, loops, close edges, and close photoelectric sensors (IR’s). **8 REVERSAL FORCE dial:** The REVERSAL FORCE dial fine tunes the force. See *Force Adjustment* section. **9 TEST BUTTONS:** The TEST BUTTONS will operate the gate (OPEN, STOP and CLOSE). **10 STATUS LEDs:** The STATUS LEDs indicate the status of the operator. See Status LED Chart in the Troubleshooting section. **11 DIAGNOSTICS Display:** The diagnostics display will show the operator type, firmware version, and codes. The operator type will display as "SL" followed by a "24" which indicates the operator type as CSL24UL. The firmware version will show after the operator type, example "1.2". **12 BACKDRIVE Switch:** Set to MANUAL will allow the gate to be manually pushed open or closed if there is a loss of AC and battery power. Set to SECURE makes the gate difficult to push open or closed if there is a loss of AC and battery power. > Figure: Control-board diagram with numbered callouts 1–12.

This allows the gate to be opened and closed manually. On a dual gate application this must be done for both operators. To resume normal operation put the switch to the on position “I”. ## Reset Switch The reset switch is located on the front of the operator and serves several functions. Toggling the reset switch will stop a moving gate during a normal open/close cycle, like a stop button. The operator does not need to be reset after doing this. The reset switch will disable the gate in the present position and will energize the solenoid lock for two minutes and disable the maglock for two minutes. > Figure: Drawing of a LiftMaster gate operator with a front-mounted reset switch. A callout labeled “Reset/Disconnect” shows a finger pressing the switch toward the “0” position, with a curved arrow. A second callout labeled “Normal Operation” shows a finger moving the switch toward the “I” position, with a curved arrow. ## Operator Alarm If a contact sensor detects an obstruction twice consecutively, the alarm will sound (up to 5 minutes), and the operator will need to be reset. When the inherent force of the operator detects the following twice consecutively, the alarm will sound up to 5 minutes and the operator will need to be reset. A. The gate is hitting an obstruction. B. The gate does not meet specifications. C. Debris is on the gate's track such as mud, rocks, dirt, etc. D. The gate has one or more broken axles or wheels. E. The gate wheel is off the gate rail. Remove any obstructions or repair gate system. Press the reset switch to shut off the alarm and reset the operator. After the operator is reset, normal functions will resume. The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low. > Figure: Five small illustrations labeled A–E: A shows a sliding gate obstructed by vegetation; B shows damaged/bent gate hardware; C shows debris on the gate track; D shows a gate wheel contacting the rail improperly; E shows a gate wheel off the gate rail. ## Remote Control ### Single Button Control (SBC) Functionality Once the remote control has been programmed the operator will operate as follows: When gate is in the closed position, activation of the remote control button will open the gate. During the open cycle another activation of the remote control will stop the gate and the next activation of the remote control will close the gate. When the gate is in the open position, activation of the remote control button will close the gate. If the remote control is activated while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and the next activation will open the gate. ## Page 31 # ACCESSORY WIRING All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and flammability ratings. ## External Control Devices **NOT TO BE USED AS ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION** ### EXIT (2 Terminals) This input is a soft open command (maintained switch does not override external safeties and does not reset alarm condition). Used for exit probe, telephone entry, external exit loop detector, or any device that would command the gate to open. - Opens a closed or closing gate and holds open an open gate, if maintained, pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit. ### SHADOW (2 Terminals) This input is used for external shadow loop detector when loop is positioned under the path of the gate. - Holds open gate at open limit - Only active when the gate is at the OPEN limit, disregarded at all other times - Pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit ### INTERRUPT (2 Terminals) This input is used for an external interrupt loop detector when loop is on the outside of the gate. - Holds open gate at open limit - Stops and reverses a closing gate to open limit - Pauses Timer-to-Close at OPEN limit, activates quick close and anti-tailgate features when enabled on the expansion board > Figure: “Access control device wiring” diagram.

ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is deactivated it causes an opening or a stopped gate to close (ignores the Timer-to-Close). 2. **AC FAIL switch:** OPEN: Loss of AC power will cause the gate to open approximately 15 seconds after AC power fail and remain OPEN until AC power is restored (enabling the Timer-to-Close). BATT: With loss of AC power, gate will remain in present position and operator is powered from batteries. 3. **EXIT FAIL switch:** When set to OPEN, if the EXIT plug-in loop detector (Model LOOPDETLM) detects a fault, then the gate will open and remain open until fault is cleared. When set to CLOSE, then plug-in EXIT loop detector faults are ignored (EXIT loop is faulted and inoperative). 4. **ANTI-TAIL switch:** OFF: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing gate to stop and reverse. ON: When CLOSE EYES/Interrupt loop is activated it causes a closing gate to pause. Once the vehicle is clear the gate will continue to close. 5. **AUX RELAY switches:** Set the AUX RELAY switches as needed to obtain the desired function as shown on the following page. 6. **EYE/EDGE switches:** Set the EYE/EDGE switches as needed to obtain the desired OPEN or CLOSE functionality. 7. **1, 2, and 3 LEDs:** LEDs indicating the status of the EYE/EDGE inputs.

Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. - Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. **NOTE:** The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity. - NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. - ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. - The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance. - TEST THE GATE OPERATOR MONTHLY. The gate MUST reverse on contact with an object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact 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. - Use the manual disconnect release ONLY when the gate is NOT moving. - KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware. - ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a Trained Gate Systems Technician. - Activate gate ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to gate travel. - To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. - **SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.** > ⚠️ **CAUTION** > • ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment. # Maintenance Chart **Disconnect all power (AC, solar, battery) to the operator before servicing.** The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries to service the operator. | DESCRIPTION | TASK | MONTH | 6 MONTHS | 3 YEARS | |---|---|:---:|:---:|:---:| | Entrapment Protection Devices | Check and test inherent (built into the operator) and external devices for proper operation | X | | | | Warning Signs | Make sure they are present and replace if worn or broken, see *Accessories* | X | | | | Manual Disconnect | Check and test for proper operation | | X | | | Sprockets and Chains | Check for excessive slack and lubricate | | X | | | Gate | Inspect for wear or damage; ensure it still complies with ASTM F2200, see page 5 | X | | | | Accessories | Check all for proper operation | | X | | | Electrical | Inspect all wire connections | | X | | | Chassis Mounting Bolts | Check for tightness | | X | | | Operator | Inspect for wear or damage | | X | | | Batteries | Replace | | | X | **NOTES:** - Severe or high cycle usage will require more frequent maintenance checks. - Limits may have to be reset after any major drive chain adjustments. - If lubricating chain, use only lithium spray. Never use grease or silicone spray. - It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a digital voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the operator is within ten percent of the operator’s rating. ## Page 37 # MAINTENANCE ## Batteries Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage. The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery is low. Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years. Use only LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of properly. The operator comes with two 7AH batteries. Two 33AH batteries (A12330SGLPK), with Solar Harness Kit (K94-37236) may be used in place of the 7AH batteries. ## Drive Train Over time, the drive chain on the operator will stretch and need to be tightened. To tighten the drive chain adjust either of the two chain eye bolts. *NOTE: The chain should have no more than 1 inch of sag for every 10 feet of chain length.* ## Page 38 # TROUBLESHOOTING > Figure: Warning box with lightning-bolt hazard icon and heading “WARNING.” Left side reads: “To protect against fire and electrocution: • DISCONNECT power (AC or solar and battery) BEFORE installing or servicing operator.” Right side reads: “For continued protection against fire: • Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.” ## Diagnostic Codes *NOTE: When cycling or disconnecting power (ac/dc) to the control board, it is recommended that you unplug the J15 plug.* ### To View the Codes The codes will show on the diagnostic display. > Figure: Three vertical “TEST BUTTONS” control-button illustrations showing the steps to view codes.

SEE ACCESSORIES** ### Solar Application Requirements - A minimum of two 10W solar panels in series (Model SP10W12V). - A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SP10W12V). - Solar Harness Kit (Model K94-37236). - A heater cannot be used with a solar application. ### Solar Zones Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the map below. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not supported in northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. The cycles/day ratings are approximations. Ratings vary based on gate construction, installation, and temperature. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience long periods of heavy fog, lake effect snow, or rain. > Figure: Map of North America shaded by solar zones. Legend: > > 1 — **ZONE 1 (6 Hours of Sunlight/Day):** Ideal for solar application > 2 — **ZONE 2 (4 Hours of Sunlight/Day):** Recommended for solar application > 3 — **ZONE 3 (2 Hours of Sunlight/Day):** Success of solar application will depend on type of gate operator and location of the solar panel > Gray circle — **NOT AVAILABLE** > > Map includes a “NOT AVAILABLE” label across northern Canada.

Always design, install and maintain safe gate access systems in accordance with UL 325 & ASTM F2200 standards. - Only install the operator on gates used for vehicular traffic. - A separate pedestrian entry/exit must be clearly visible to promote pedestrian usage and located so pedestrians do not come in contact with the vehicular gate while it is moving. - Install two independent¹ entrapment protection devices protecting each entrapment zone. - Pickets of a slide gate must be designed or screened to prevent persons from reaching through, or passing through a gate. - Every installation is unique. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all entrapment zones are protected with a minimum of two independent¹ entrapment protection devices. - A slide gate operator will only operate with a minimum of two independent monitored entrapment protection devices installed in each direction, two in the open direction and two in the closed direction¹. - A swing gate operator will only operate with a minimum of two independent monitored entrapment protection devices installed in either the open or closed direction. If no entrapment zone exists in the other direction, only one means of entrapment protection is required in that direction¹. ¹Independent the same type of device shall not be utilized for both entrapment protection devices. ### SLIDE GATE SITE LAYOUT GUIDELINES — FIGURE 1 > Figure: Perspective diagram of a sliding vehicular gate installation, with a car on the PUBLIC SIDE and a fenced SECURE SIDE. Labels and callouts include: WARNING — “Be sure to place the WARNING signs on both sides of the gate in clear view. For your records, take a photograph of the completed installation site.”; “Interior posts. Non-pinch rollers (2x)”; “Gap between vertical bars must be less than 2¼" (57 mm)”; “Edge sensor on Trailing Edge of gate”; arrow labeled “Left Hand Gate opening”; “Photo eye (Emitter or Reflector in the Open direction)”; “Physical stop - at both ends of gate rail.”; “Guide posts”; “Mount access control devices at least 6 ft (1.8 m) beyond the gate.”; dashed dimension “6 ft (1.8 m) minimum”; “Pedestrian gate located near the slide gate. Make sure a separate walk-through entrance is available and its pedestrian path is clearly designated.”; “V track (gate rail)”; “Physical stop”; “Photo eye (Emitter or Reflector Close direction)”; “Edge sensor on Leading Edge of gate”; “Edge sensor (Draw-in zone)”; “Photo eye (Receiver)”; “Earth ground”; and a note: “NOTE: Any gap larger than 2¼" (57 mm) between gate and fixed objects must be protected. Install edge sensors where gap between post and gate creates an entrapment zone.” A shaded area is labeled “ENTRAPMENT.” ### SLIDE GATE SPACING GUIDELINES — FIGURE 2 > Figure: Diagram of a slide gate adjacent to a stationary object/fence, showing horizontal gate gaps and gate-support-post spacing. **Slide Gate Gaps** A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to the roadway, between a fixed stationary object nearest the roadway (such as a gate support post) and the gate panel when the gate is in either the fully open position or the fully closed position, shall not exceed 2 ¼ in. Exception: All other fixed stationary objects greater than 16 in. from the gate frame shall not be required to comply with this section. Any gap must be protected. Install safety device to protect entrapment zone. ### SLIDE GATE OPENINGS GUIDELINES — FIGURE 3 Openings of a horizontal slide gate must be smaller than 2 1/4" or else be guarded or screened. These design rules apply to both the moving gate as well as the portion of adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position. See illustrations below. > Figure: Two diagrams labeled “Gate Frame and Adjacent Fence Area.” The upper diagram shows vertical bars with gaps marked “X X X”; text states: “If gaps (xxx) between vertical bars of the gate or fence are less than 2 1/4", no further screening is required.” The lower diagram shows wire mesh applied behind wider openings; vertical dimension reads “6 ft. minimum.” Text states: “For gaps (xxx) equal to or larger than 2 1/4", a wire mesh screen must be applied to the gate. Wire mesh screen openings must be smaller than 2 1/4". The minimum height of wire mesh screen: 6 ft. above grade.” ### SWING GATE SITE LAYOUT GUIDELINES — FIGURE 4 > Figure: Perspective diagram of double swing gates with cars, operators, photo eyes, curb, and shaded entrapment zones. Labels include PUBLIC SIDE, SECURE SIDE, WARNING — “Be sure to place the WARNING signs on both sides of the access point in clear view of vehicles. For your records, take a photograph of the completed installation site.”; “Photo eye (public side)” on both gate leaves; “Mount access control devices at least 6 ft (1.8 m) beyond the gate.”; “Photo eyes”; “Earth ground”; “Curb”; “Pedestrian gate located near the swing gate. Make sure a separate walk-through entrance is available and its pedestrian path is clearly designated.”; “Edge sensor”; “Reflector for Photo Eye”; and shaded areas labeled “ENTRAPMENT ZONE” and “ENTRAPMENT.” An arrow identifies “A,” leading to “View A Cross Section,” showing a gate bottom and curb/fence area. **Swing Gate Entrapment Zones:** Locations between a moving gate or moving, exposed operator components and a counter opposing edge or surface where entrapment is possible up to 1.8m (6 ft) above grade. Such locations occur if during any point in travel: a) The gap between the bottom of a moving gate and the ground is greater than 101.6mm (4 in) and less than 406mm (16 in); or b) The distance between the center line of the pivot and the end of the wall, pillar, or column to which it is mounted when in the open or closed position exceeds 101.6mm (4 in). Any other gap between a moving gate and fixed counter opposing edges or surfaces or other fixed objects is less than 406 mm (16 in) (examples are walls, curbs, berms, or other immovable objects). ### Base of Swing and Slide Gate — FIGURE 5 All Gates must have smooth bottom edges, no protrusions should exist. If gate hardware or sensors protrude, they must have smooth surfaces free of any sharp cutting edges that do not exceed ½ inch beyond the base of the gate. > Figure: Comparison drawing labeled “OK” and “Not Allowed.” The OK drawing shows a smooth gate bottom edge; the Not Allowed drawing shows gate components protruding below the gate base. ### Definitions **Entrapment:** The condition when a person is caught or held in a position that increases the risk of injury. **Slide Gate Entrapment Zones:** An entrapment zone exists if at any point during travel, the gap between the moving gate and fixed counter opposing edges or surfaces is less than 406 mm (16”) in a location up to 1.8m (6ft.) above grade. The above examples are two of many installation possibilities and are for illustration purposes only. See device and operator manuals for complete instruction. Visit DASMA.com for more information.
