SLIDING GATE OPERATOR Anchors You can use the anchors that are provided with the operator, 3 ¾ anchor bolts (4), anchors, washers, and nuts. These anchors must be set into the concrete when it is poured, or you can use wedge anchors (1/4” x 4”). Operator Base Mount the gate operator base to the concrete pad. The distance between the gate and the base should be no more than 2 ½ “ (64mm). Verify that the operator is leveled properly.

Fig.2 Chain Box Make sure the ends of the guide chain are out of the chain holes on both sides of the chain box. Remove the cover and insert the manual release key and turn counter-clockwise to disengage the clutch. Remove the elastic band from the shaft and line up the key on the shaft with the sprocket at the chain box. Insert the sprocket from the chain box into the operator shaft. Place the operator on top of the base and use (4) 5/8 “ (M8x15mm) socket head cap screws to mount the chain box in to the base. Operator Mount the gate operator to the base using (4) 2 ¾ “ (M8x70mm) #48 bolts and washers. Make sure there is no more than 1/8” (2mm) of space between the cover and the chain box. Check the operator and make sure it is lined up with the gate.

Chain Close the gate and attach a chain bolt to the piece of chain that comes with the chain box using enclosure master links. Tighten the chain bolt to the bracket with washers and nuts. Pull the chain through the chain wheel box to the other chain bracket at the opposite end of the gate. Connect the other end of the chain and the chain bolt, and then tighten the chain bolt to the chain bracket. Thread up the chain by adjusting the chain bolt. Cut the chain to length if necessary. Make sure that the chain is perfectly aligned with the chain holes on the chain box. Tighten the chain by tightening the chain bolts at either end. See illustration below. Chain bolt

Fig.6 Magnets for Limit Switch Install the magnet and magnetic limit switch as shown in Fig.7. The magnet and limit switch are used to control the position of the gate. When the magnet is installed, release the gear clutch and push the sliding gate manually to pre-determine the position. Fit the magnet bracket to the gate and then tighten the gear clutch. The lower bracket is for open position and higher bracket is for close position. Finally adjust the magnet to the proper position by moving the gate with the motor. The magnet should be .39 - .59 “away from the magnetic limit switch. If it is too far away, the switch will fail to work. The distance between the magnet and the operator should be @ ½” (12mm) with the operator cover on. Adjust the position of the magnetic limit switch until the positions of the opening and closing meet the requirement. Important Note: Please note the two magnet brackets (fixed plate) are different: one is higher and another is lower. Verify and if necessary exchange the two brackets position. Also if necessary exchange the limit switch wires CL (close) and OP (open). Another common problem is there are four reed switches inside the magnetic limit switch: two are upper and two are lower. The magnet position can be installed in the middle so it inducts both reed switches. Solution: adjust the magnet upper or lower. 10-15mm

25. Install the chain with a master link to the Chain Box short chain. 26. Stretch the chain to the Chain Bolt and install with a Master Link. 27. Adjust and tighten the Chain Bolt allowing for a 3” sag in the chain spanning the length of the gate. 28. With the Chain Box Clutch loose, move the gate open and closed. It should slide smoothly. 29. Install the Magnetic Limit magnets on both ends of the gate. On the opening side of the gate, the “Open” Magnet is in the Upper position, while the tail end of the gate the “Close” Magnet is in the Lower position. See Figure 2. Manually open and close the gate to determine where the magnets are to be mounded on the Gate. 30. Adjust the Magnets so there is ½” clearance from the Magnet to the Gate Opener. 31. Mechanical installation of the Gate Operator is Complete Gate Operator Electrical Installation The National Electric Code requires proper electrical connections in wet locations (outdoors) for all electrical equipment. The procedures that follow assume that a suitable 120 V AC GFCI Outlet receptacle with a weatherproof cover is located near the Gate Opener (as shown in Figure 5) that can be used to connect the Electrical Power to the SLIDE Gate Operator. Please follow the manufactures installation guide for installing and testing a GFCI receptacle. 1. Ensure that the electricity to the Outlet Box is OFF. 2. Check the Power switch on the Viper Control Board. Switch to the OFF position “O/I” with “O” switch position down).

Electrical Preparation
Install a suitable electrical outlet box that will be used to supply power to the Operator. This box should be located near the operator, approx. 24” from the platform, and out of the path of the gate. Wire size should be 12 gauge two conductor wires with a Ground and protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI). This can be achieved by using a GFCI receptacle outlet and connecting the Gate Opener to the LOAD terminal of the outlet. If using electrical PVC Water Tight Conduit, See Figure 5, measure a sufficient length of wire to reach from the Electrical box through the Platform Base hole and 24” inches past the conduit fitting. This will allow enough wire to feed the wire up into the Operator and connect to the Circuit Board. Do not connect the cable at this time. 14

In this configuration, the tail extension was made from the same material as the gate, 1½” square tubing, and is 12” long and 10” high. At the right side, the chain bolt plate was wielded on at the shop as were the two U clamps that attach the extension to the gate (left). A piece of angle iron was used to support the closing magnet, and mounting holes were drilled (4) ½ inches apart that allows for the magnet adjustment. Two bolts were used to attach the angle iron to the extension. The limit switch sensor is divided into two parts as seen inFigure 8. Limit Switch Sensor To achieve your open limit, one of the magnets should bemounted so that it is at the same height as Section 1of the Limit Switch Sensor. To achieve your closed limit, the other magnet should bemounted so that it is at the same height as Section 2 of the LimitSwitch Sensor.Note: Make sure that neither
magnets are running in themiddle of the while line on figure 8, otherwise the Control Boardwill think that the gate is both open and close. Figure 8

Residential Sliding Gate Operator Manual Release
Your Slide gate opener will include two keys that are used to disengage the operator from your gate in case of an emergency or power outage. Turn counter-clock-wise in the slot above to disengage the operator from the gate. This will allow you to use the gate manually.

Potentiometers – Adjusting the Stall Force Setting The left potentiometer is used to adjust the CLOSE stall force of the gate opener. The right Potentiometer is used to adjust the OPEN stall force of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise
to increase the stall force.
Turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise
to decrease the stall force.
Note: (Factory Default Setting is at 10 o’clock)
Test the reversing sensitivity IMPORTANT: Please test the reversing sensitivity as soon as the gate opener installation is completed!
Place an immobile object along the gate path, and then operate the gate to strike it during the open and close cycles. The gate must reverse as soon as it makes contact with the object. If the gate doesn’t reverse, please increase the reversing sensitivity by turning the potentiometer in a counter-clockwise direction. (Turn the stall force potentiometer toward the “Light” position to increase the reversing sensitivity)
Important things to know: 1.
Please note that if the sensitivity setting is too high, the gate will stop or reverse very easily by itself while there is little to no obstruction or resistance such as strong wind or heavy snow.
2. For safety reasons, the gate reversing function should be checked every time the control board needs to be set, if power goes out.

Maintenance Every six months check the following items for proper operation of the unit. * Lubricate shafts and sprockets. * Keep opener clean at all times. * Check and tighten anchors bolts. * Check for loose or corroded wire * Ensure the opener is well earthed, and correctly terminated. * Always check the Stop/Reverse in case of obstruction function when performing any maintenance. If this function can’t be made operable, remove this opener from service until the cause of the malfunction is identified and corrected.
