the Linear PRO Access 4000XLS. When correctly installed and properly used, your LPA 4000XLS operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your LPA 4000XLS Automatic Gate Operator. The 4000XLS operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate. The gate must not exceed 20 feet in length nor weigh more than 1000 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications on page 1). The 4000XLS operator can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct, stop, and blow fuses. The 4000XLS can be installed on a push-to-open gate with the addition of the push-to-open bracket [R4KPTO]. The 4000XLS operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories are noted with the symbol. The 4000XLS operator features adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction. The 4000XLS operator also has an adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again. Please call Linear PRO Access at (800) 543-4283 for more information about our professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a Linear PRO Access dealer near you. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR: Read these instructions carefully and completely to become familiar with all parts and installation steps.

Information about accessories can be found on page 28 and at www.linearproaccess.com. ii LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety. This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. warning symbol. The symbol Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this identifies conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death. Because automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. How To Manually Open and Close the Gate: CAUTION: The gate can be opened and closed manually when the operator is disconnected. ONLY disconnect the operator when the operator power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving. Disconnecting the Operator 1. Turn operator power switch (Control Box) OFF. 2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from both the front and rear mounting points. Front Mount 3. Remove the operator from the mount. Clevis Pin Gate Bracket CAUTION: Because the LPA gate operator is battery powered, disconnect the operator ONLY when the power switch on the contol box is turned OFF. Unplugging the transformer does not turn power to the operator OFF. Bushing Hairpin Clip [FM345] for the clevis pin on the front NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock mount of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the operator from the gate. LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual iii IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For The Consumer WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. 2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion. 3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas. 4. The gate and gate operator installation must comply with any applicable local codes. I. Before Installation 1. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use, and the proper class rating. 2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system. 3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). 4. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (page vi). 5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. 6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times. ZONE 2 ZONE 1 ZONE 3 ZONE 5 ZONE 4 Driveway Gate in the Open Position Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and post. Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post. Zone 3 – the path of the gate. Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, etc. Zone 5 – pinch points between the operator and gate. iv LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS II. During Installation 1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it. 2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched. 3. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection against entrapment. 4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate operator. 5. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement. 6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate. 10' 10' 10' Moving Gate Area Driveway NEVER INSTALL any control device within gray area 10' III. After Installation 1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is your responsibility to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements. 2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary. 3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop. 4. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous. 5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep ALL gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them. 6. KEEP GATE AND GATE Operator PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to operator OFF before performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Apply silicone spray to a soft, dry cloth and clean the push-pull tube at least once a month. LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual v IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the LPA Service Department. 8. Disconnect the operator ONLY when the power is TURNED OFF and the gate is NOT moving. 9. Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access. 10. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all persons authorized to use your gate. 11. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner. Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the Linear PRO Access web site (www.linearproaccess.com), by contacting GTO Access Systems., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy. One will be provided to you free of charge. Required Safety Precautions for Gates Install Warning Signs Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the LPAO Gate Operator. The Warning Signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed for pedestrian traffic. We recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock [FM145] for controlled access. Entrapment Protection The operator’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment. GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (recommended, not included) Pedestrian Gate Contact Sensor (recommended, not included) Warning Sign Vehicular Gate Photo Beam (recommended, not included) vi LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual Contact Sensor Contact Sensor Photo Beam (recommended, not included) (recommended, not included) (recommended, not included) IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The 4000XLS utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the 4000XLS has provisions for the connection of Type B1 or B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired. 1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]): A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors 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. 2. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]): A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and outside of a vehicular swing gate system. B. A hard wired 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. C. A wireless contact sensor 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 contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams means of entrapment protection. [R4222] provide a “non contact” Leading Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate Vehicular Gate Photo Beam Bottom Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate Post Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate Photo Beam ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A) The 4000XLS Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

When using bolts to mount the post bracket, the bolts must completely penetrate the post. • The best method of attaching the post bracket to a metal post is welding. • If your post exceeds 8”, it will be necessary to use hex head bolts longer than those supplied. • Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the post bracket. • Wood posts will require a metal plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood. • A post smaller than 6” in diameter should be made of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable while the operator is moving the gate. • Masonry columns will require masonry anchors/ hardware (not provided). 6 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual Step 1 Close the gate and place your level against the horizontal cross member. Position the level so that the top should be in the center of the cross member and overlaps the post. Scribe a line across the cross member and post. You will use this line to help determine position of post and gate brackets. Step 2 Position the post bracket on the post with the mounting holes centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the edge of the post closest to the gate. Mark the position of post bracket holes on the post. Step 3 Drill holes through post as marked using a 1/2” drill bit. Install the post bracket using the 1/2” x 10” carriage bolts, 1/2” flat washers and lock nuts (provided).

Check Clearance Step 7 Open the gate to the desired open position. Position the operator so that the gate bracket rests against the gate along the level scribed line. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. There should be a minimum clearance of 2” between the widest part of the operator arm and the gate. When you have achieved the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the 3/8” x 3 3/4” bolt and 3/8” flat washer through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place. Clamp the gate bracket to the gate using c-clamps or another type of clamp. IMPORTANT: While determining the position of the post pivot bracket, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2“ of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and, more importantly, provides the least possible pinch area. 8 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual Pinch Area Gate in the OPEN POSITION 2" minimum Clamp Step 8 Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position.

If you don’t have 2” clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post MAX 22" pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the post bracket and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve the proper clearance. With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and secure with washer and lock nut. Return the operator to the open position and reattach the gate bracket. Recheck the gate operator level and clearance in the open position. Adjustment of the gate bracket will be necessary if the post bracket was moved. After verifying clearance, make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely.

LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual 11 Step 5 Tuck the excess battery leads into the battery box and reattach the CONTROL BOX to the BATTERY BOX. Mounting the Receiver Step 1 Temporarily mount the receiver at this time. You will need to use the transmitter (page 18) to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it. You may have to try different locations before permanently mounting the receiver. The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference. Mount the receiver: • Ensuring a line-of-sight between transmitter and antenna. • At least 3 feet away from AC voltage. • As high as possible for optimum range. Receiver mounted on piece of wood • DO NOT mount receiver upside down. • DO NOT mount receiver on metal fence or post (this will decrease signal range). If attaching receiver to metal fence, you should mount receiver on a piece of wood attached to the fence (see illustration). The receiver cable: • Cable length is 10 ft. (receivers with longer cables are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). • NEVER splice receiver cable! • Run the receiver cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage. • DO NOT run cable in conduit containing AC wiring. This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept an interference that may cause undesired operation. Transmitter distance may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 12 LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual Connect Operator Power Cable Step 1 Strain Relief Loosen sealing nut on strain relief hub at bottom of control box.

If the transformer can only be plugged only an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover/housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used. • The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge stranded, low voltage, direct burial wire [RB509]. This gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft. • DO NOT use telephone wire or solid wire. • NEVER SPLICE WIRES. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire’s ability to carry an adequate current. • NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME! Doing so will damage the control board. • If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an AC power source, you will need to use at least 10 watts solar charging power [FM122/FM123] to charge the battery. Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate Activity Chart on page 2. Step 1 Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. ON/O FF Step 2 Select the electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid (allow for an additional 6” to be pulled into the control box). Step 3 Lay the low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Bury the wire in the trench.

LPA 4000XLS Instruction Manual 23 Column Installation If this operator will be used with gates that are mounted on masonry, brick, or rock (etc.) columns, read the following carefully before proceeding A. The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength. B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to rehang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the column. C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power cable.
