UL LISTINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE GATE OPERATOR A) Install the gate operator only when: 1) The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage Class of the gate. 2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4inch (57.15 mm) 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. 3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and 4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers. B) The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. C) 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. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas. D) The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. E) - F) Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. G) All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate. H) For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor such as a photo beam: 1) See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for each Type of application, 2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate still moving, and 3) 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. H) For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor: 1) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and postmounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. 2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. 3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate. 4) A hardwired 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. 5) A wireless contact sensor such as the 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.

PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLATION
Open To The Inside
With gate closed, position the plates on the gate taking care that the operator is kept level. IMPORTANT., Weld front bracket at the top of the bar so operator will not hit bar while traveling.
PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLATION (cont.)
STEP 4: Remove operator and fully weld the plate and brackets top, bottom and sides. CAUTION: WELDING WITH OPERATOR IN PLACE MAY DAMAGE THE OPERATOR.	STEP 5: MAKE SURE THE OPERATOR IS LEVEL or the operator will not function properly. An off-level installation may cause the gate or operator to fail prematurely.
STEP 6: Remove bolt and bushing from back of operator. Fit the operator to the pier using the hole which is the most suited to the opening dimensions required. a. Place metal bushing into the bracket hole you will be using. b. Fit operator bracket over hole with metal bushing. c. Use bolt and nut to secure operator to bracket.	STEP 7: Remove nut from bolt on front of operator. Fit the group - G - to the gate. Manually move the gate open and close. check for smooth and unobstructed movement. Fully tighten the nut.
For strength purposes, the front bracket must be welded in an area that can withstand heavy forces. Do not weld a cross bar on just a few pickets or the pickets will bend. Weld a cross bar across all of the pickets or weld the front bracket at the top of the gate directly to the frame.
	STEP 9: Carry out all appropriate connections in the following pages of the manual to power the unit. Then go to step 10.
STEP 8: Lock the operator by turning key - F - to the vertical position while pushing or pulling on the gate until you hear the key release click into place.
REMOVING THE CONTROL BOARD
Detach the A and J3 plug .	Remove the three, phillips head screws and remove control board. Reverse this process to install the control board.
MOUNTING THE CONTROL BOX
CAUTION: Do not make new mounting holes, or enlarge existing holes in control box. Use the four mounting holes provided.
Remove the four nuts and remove battery rack. Reverse this process to reinstall.	Mount control box with four screws and washers (recommend #10 thru 1/4-20 Bolts or Screws) Don't over tighten.
CONNECTING POWER
CONNECTING POWER Master / Slave
CAUTION: Do not over-bend the wire connections from the operators. To do so will cause the wires to eventually break. PROPER GROUNDING IS IMPORTANT
CHOOSING MOVEMENT DIRECTION
Switch the "Open Inside / Open Outside" switch an the control board to the corresponding position for the proper direction.
SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
The sensors must be adjusted while the gate is in the opening or closing cycle.
Set the sensor adjustment so when the gate hits any object while opening, it will stop and when the gate hits any object while closing, it will reverse. Note: If you activate the operator and the gate stops in the middle of the driveway, the sensor is set too sensitive.
OPTION - Stop by POS - STOP This option is to be turned to yes if the gate will use positive stops at the close position. IMPORTANT: It is necessary to still adjust your limit switch at the close position. The controller will look for the limit close first and then it will look for the positive stop.
POWER SUPPLY
Use the plug-in transformer (sold by Elite Access System only) by hooking it up to 115V and use Two Conductor, low voltage, 14 gauge / 300 waft direct burial, landscape lighting cables (part #A W-1 00 or A W-500). Connect these wires to the two yellow wires from operator connector(J3), to the plug-in transformer. Connect the battery cable to the harness connector from J1. The Timer LED will blink 3 times. After the blinks, check the "charge ok" LED, it must be on.
