Gate in Open Position
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.
*Note: The dimensions provided are
just a guideline. Each site may have
different geometries or possibilities of
installation. The key for installation is
to have "E" longer than "D" and to
adjust the arms such that the arm is
straight at the closed position.

1. Follow the local building code to determine the required depth of the concrete pad.
2. Pad measurements recommended by Viking Access Systems are at lease 20” long,
20” wide and 30” deep to ensure the stable operation of the operator, and a
minimum of 6” above level grade to avoid any flooding of the machinery.
4. Provide a sufficient number of conduit pathways for all low power accessories
such as loop detector leads, maglock, non-contact sensors, contact sensors, safety
and other commands.Also provide conduit for the power supply (either 110 or
220 VAC). Extend the conduit the recommended height of 1” above the level of
the concrete pad. Install all conduit in the shaded area shown above.

STEP 1
Release the clutch (see page 7). Cut the
extension arms according to the desired plan
of installation (Figure A on page 10).
Note: Leave some additional material when
cutting the extension arms to allow for
additional adjustment.
STEP 2
Position the pieces of the articulated arm
with the gate in the closed position. Ensure
that the dimensions correspond to the chosen
plan of installation. Use C-clamps or tack-weld
pieces to aid in the pre-installation process.
Remove Excess
Extension Tube
STEP 3
With the clutch released, move the gate
manually from the completely open to the
completely closed position. Verify that:
A. The gate and arm combination can
provide the desired operation.
B. The arm does not bind in its movement,
especially in the open position.
Note: The total travel angle of the primary arm
on the output shaft determines the speed of the
gate operation. The smaller the travel angle,
the quicker the gate will open and close.
GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATIONGATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION - If mounting bar is not welded to
a frame member that runs the full length
of the gate, the gate operator may
damage the gate. Do not weld the bar or
backing plate to a few pickets.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT 1 800 908 0884 1317
Step 4
Upon observation of the satisfactory
arrangement of the articulated arm and
bracket, weld all pieces securely. Paint the
arm to protect it from rusting.
STEP 6
Check the Clutch adjustment. The Clutch is
shipped factory adjusted. The clutch must be
tight enough to prevent slippage in normal
operation.
Check the tightness of the Clutch:
A. Remove the Clutch Key from the clutch.
B. Attempt to move the gate by hand.
C. If slippage occurs:
1. Loosen the Locking Handle 180°
2. Tighten the opposite bolt.
3. Tighten the Locking Handle 180°
4. Check the tightness of the clutch again.
STEP 5
Upon test of the installation, loosen the
clutch and rotate it until it lines up with the
notches in the Output Shaft. Insert the
Clutch Key.

line to operate and charge the batteries.
1. Turn off the main switch or breaker for
the power line being used.
2. Move the selector switch on the Incoming
Voltage Selector to the proper position
(115 for 110 to 120VAC, 230 for 200 to 240VAC).
3. Connect the incoming power wires to the
terminals as shown in the illustration.
4. Turn on the main switch or breaker once
the installation is ready for final
adjustments.
5. To verify that there is AC power to the
system, check that the ‘Charger’ LED on the
Control Board is on.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Tips for proper ground installation
A good ground in a gate operator
installation will minimize or prevent damage
to the operator cause by natural events such
as lightning strikes.
The following will provide a guideline for
proper grounding:
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground
reference.
2. Consult your city code and be aware of
under-ground services in the site of the
gate operator to prevent inconveniences.
3. Use always a single bonding point for
grounding.
4. All ground wires must be as short and as
thick as possible.
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all
ground wires.
Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board
until the installation is ready for verification.

Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use
Table C (below) as a guide.
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and
other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a
way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.
IMPORTANT – Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the
vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual and the manufacturer of the
vehicular loop detector).
• Gate size,
• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;
• Distance from the loop sensor wire to the gate either at the open or close position.

When connecting the Radio Receiver carefully verify the proper connections.
The maximum voltage that the control board provides for external accessories is the
maximum voltage of the battery, which is about 28 volts.
In the event of an electrical short in the power to the accessories, the board will
protect itself by shutting down and will remain shut down until the short is corrected.
The control board provides two modes of
operation that a radio receiver can control
the gate:
Open-Stop-Close
1. By having the radio receiver connected as
illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer
OFF (see page 27):
Every command of the radio transmitter
will control the gate as follow:
a) First command opens the gate,
b) Second command stops the gate and
c) Third command closes the gate
d) Any subsequent commands will continue
in the same order to control the gate.
This type of configuration is not
recommended for a commercial
installations.
Open Only
2. By having the radio receiver connected as
illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer
ON (see page 27):
Each command of the radio transmitter is
ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.

The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions
in the path of the traveling gate. The Trim
Pot for the Obstruction Sensor adjusts the
sensitivity level that triggers the Sensor.
When the Obstruction Sensor detects an
obstruction it will:
1. Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it
momentarily.
2. Bring the gate to a resting position.
3.
Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the
Gate Operator receives a new command.
If another obstruction is detected before the
gate reaches either limit it will:
1. Stop the gate’s movement.
2. Bring the gate to a resting position.
3. Disable the Gate Operator.
UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to
go off after two consecutive entrapment
events
sensed by the Inherent Entrapment
Protection of the Gate Operator.
The audio alarm will sound for a period of 5
minutes or until the “Stop” Button is
pressed (see page 8 for remote installation
of a “Stop” Button).
Intelligent Obstruction Sensor
(Primary Entrapment Protection)

The Hold Open Timer function holds the gate at
the open position for a predetermined amount
of time, prior to closing automatically.
Set the Timer to the desired time, from 1 to
60 seconds.
If this feature is not needed, turn the Trim
Pot clockwise to the “off” position.
Note: The Hold Open Timer affects the “radio
receiver command” and the sequence of
operation for the gate (see page 23).

Setting the Overlap Delay Pot to any value
other than zero will cause the master unit to
delay in opening.
The time delay can be set for up to 3 seconds.
The Master Board sets the overlap delay for
the system.
The Slave Board must have its overlap delay set
to zero. This setting prevents conflict of commands
between master and slave control boards.
Setting the Overlap Delay Pot to “0” will cause the master and the slave units to
