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 six monitored entrapment
protection inputs to cover all entrapment zones. Refer to the manual
for complete information.

WIRING AND ADJUSTMENTS
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, and
batteries (see images below). The operator can be wired for 120
or 240 Vac by choosing the desired power wiring socket on the
EMI board. Refer to your manual for complete wiring
information.
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.

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
SOLAR PANELS (OPTIONAL)
for both the open and close gate directions.
20W minimum - 60W
1. Open and close the gate with
maximum, wired in series
the test buttons.
(requires K94-37236 battery
harness)
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 pin removed from the vent plug on the gear box?
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 batteries and battery connections. Make sure there are two
12V batteries. Replace batteries if depleted to less than 20V.
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
