WIRING AND ADJUSTMENTS Install Monitored Entrapment Protection Device This operator contains an inherent (internal) entrapment protection system and REQUIRES the addition of a LiftMaster external monitored entrapment protection system (non-contact photoelectric sensor or contact edge sensor) for EACH entrapment zone prior to gate movement. System includes three monitored entrapment protection inputs to cover all entrapment zones (and a total of six inputs with the optional expansion board). Refer to the manual for complete information. Connect Power Wiring and Earth Ground Rod Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker. Connect the earth ground rod, incoming power, battery, and plug-in transformer (see images below). Refer to your manual for complete wiring information. Photoelectric Sensor Reflector Plug-In Transformer CONTROL BOARD (back of outlet housing) Outlet Outlet J15 Plug Red Black Black Red Battery 12V 7AH Black Green White HOT GROUND NEUTRAL Outlet Housing Incoming Power PROGRAM REMOTE CONTROL 1. Press and release the LEARN button on the control board (operator will beep and green XMITTER LED will light). 2. Press the remote control button. The operator will time out of programming mode after 30 seconds. 10W 12V SOLAR PANEL (OPTIONAL) 10W minimum - 30W maximum, wired in parallel (requires K94-37236 battery harness) Check national and local codes for proper depth EARTH GROUND ROD Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator. Set the Limits and Force INITIAL LIMITS AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT 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. FINE TUNE THE FORCE The REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. 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 the open and close gate 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 force setting adjustment. Perform the Obstruction Test 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. Place a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Ensure that the gate, the solid object, and the rigid structure can withstand the forces generated during this obstruction test. 3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If the gate does not reverse off the solid object, 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 a solid object. 4. Repeat the test for the open direction. Installation Checklist Check the following before leaving the site: Are all the wiring and connections tightly connected? Is the AC power on? If the operator is left running on battery only, it will drain the battery and will result in a service call. Check the battery and battery connections. Make sure there is one 12V battery. Replace battery if depleted to less than 11.5 V. Make sure the antenna is in place when using wireless dual gates or on-board transmitters. Operator will be intermittent at times without it. Remove the protective anti-scratch film from the photoelectric sensors. Leaving the film on can result in poor sensitivity as the film decays/yellows/peels. Confirm whether the site should be fail safe or secure and set the operator accordingly. Confirm operation of the following (if applicable): Entrapment protection devices Loops TES relay SOS/emergency transponders Check operation of ALL legacy receivers using the MAX transmitter Timer-to-Close setting Quick close setting Anti-tailgate setting
