Pre-installation Information

Before You Begin...

Before unpacking, inspect the carton for exterior damage. If

you ﬁ nd damage, advise the delivery carrier of a potential

claim. Inspect your package carefully. You can check your

accessory box parts with the enclosed packing slip for your

convenience. Claims for shortages will be honored for only

30 days from the date of shipment.

Before installing the operator, read this manual completely to

ensure all requirements for proper installation are present. Verify

that the voltage to be used matches the voltage of the operator.

If you have any questions about the requirements for proper

installation of this gate operator contact technical support at

800-421-1587

Always Check the Gate’s Action

It’s very important before installing the gate operator to

make sure the gate’s swing is free and level throughout

the entire swing path. If the gate does not seem to

operate properly, it may affect the operator performance

or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The gate should

also be designed so that airﬂ ow is ample to prevent

wind resistance and drag.

Gate Operator Classiﬁ cations

All gate operators can be divided into one of four different

classiﬁ cations, depending on their design and usage. Install

this gate operator only when the operator is appropriate for

the construction and usage class as deﬁ ned below:

Class I Residential Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a home or for one to

four single family dwellings with a common garage or parking area

associated with these dwellings.

Class II Commercial / General Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a commercial location or

building such as a multi-family housing unit of ﬁ ve or more single family

units, hotel, retail store or other building servicing the general public.

Class III Industrial / Limited Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in an industrial location or

building such as a factory or loading dock area or other location not

intended to service the general public.

Class IV Restricted Access Vehicular Gate Operator•

A vehicular gate operator intended for use in a guarded industrial

location or building such as an airport security area or other restricted

access locations not servicing the general public, in which unauthorized

access is prevented via supervision by security personnel.

Approved Obstruction Detection Devices

The following contact or non-contact obstruction detection

devices have been approved for use with this swing gate

operator as part of a UL325 compliant installation:

Safety Information and Warnings

Regulatory Warnings

Read the following before beginning to install this swing

gate operator:

THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES

IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING

This type of warning note is used to

indicate possible mechanical hazards that

may cause serious injuries or death.

CAUTION

This type of warning note is used to

indicate the possibility of damage to the

gate or gate operator.

WARNING

This type of warning note is used to indicate

possible electrical shock hazards that may

cause serious injuries or death.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH

TO PERSONS, REVIEW THESE INSTALLATION SAFETY

STEPS BEFORE PROCEEDING

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed with the

packet of information. If any pages are missing or are unreadable,

or you do not have the safety instructions, please call Linear at

1-800-421-1587 to request additional copies.

3. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SUPPLY MUST

BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND MUST OBSERVE ALL

NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

4. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located near the

operator so that primary power can be turned off when necessary.

5. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the gate. A

minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each

side of the gate where easily visible.

6. Never reach between, through or around the fence to operate the

gate.

7. Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the

side of the gate operator.

8. Do not adjust the operator controller’s current sensing feature too

high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely

triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to

operate. DO NOT DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUNCTION!

9. You must install all required safety equipment.

10. UL325 Compliance requires the use of contact edges or photoelectric

controls on all automatic or remotely-controlled gate operators.

11. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for

vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access

opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to

promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will

not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path

of travel of the vehicular gate.

Wiring Speciﬁ cations

Refer to the following steps for details on power and

accessory wiring for the operator.

AC Power Wiring

1. Find the listing on this page corresponding to the model, voltage and

horsepower rating of your operator.

2. The distance shown in the table is measured in feet from the

operator to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM

DISTANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115 V

and 230 V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under

the standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your

application will handle, and you should not run wire too near the

maximum distance for the gauge of wire you are using.

3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not supplied)

may be needed for the operator power connection.

4. Wire length calculations are based on the National Electrical Code,

Article 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor

inrush, brake solenoids, and operator requirements.

5. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground

wire must be properly connected.

6. Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.

7. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115 VAC models for convenience

with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If

you choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will

decrease the distance for maximum length and the charts will no

longer be accurate.

DC Control and Accessory Wiring

1. All control devices are now 24 VDC, which can be run up to 2000

feet with 14 AWG wire.

2. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring.

Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in

some accessories.

3. A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect two

operators together for dual operation. You must use Belden 8760

Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N 2500-1982,

per foot). See Page 21 for details of this connection. Note: The shield

wire should be connected in both the operators.

WARNING

ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND

THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN

AND MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL

CODES.

Mounting Pad Installation

The gate operator mounts bolted to a custom poured

concrete mounting pad. The pad supports the operator and

prevents it from twisting during operation.

An optional post mount kit is also available (P/N 2120-483)

which allows installation without a concrete mounting pad.

Mounting Pad Speciﬁ cations

Recommended pad size is 24” x 20” x 18” deep minimum.

Pad depth should be set according to local codes and at

least as deep as frost line.

If soil conditions may cause the operator and pad to shift or

twist during operation, anti-rotation legs may be required.

Use two 6” diameter, 10” deep legs to counteract this

problem as shown.

5/8” J-bolts may be set into the concrete before it sets

following the dimensions shown, or drilled after the concrete

sets.

✓ NOTE: Maximum gate opening angle is approximately 95 degrees,

depending on gate width. If larger opening angle is required,

non-standard positioning of the operator and modiﬁ ed articulating

arms may be required. Contact the factory for technical information,

pricing, and availability.

WARNING

The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for

vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access

opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to

promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons

will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during the

entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

WARNING

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.

Swing gates shall not open into public areas.

SWR • SWC • SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 4 - 227965 Revision X13 3-28-2008

Operator Preparation

Vent Plug Installation

In order to keep gear oil from spilling out during shipping,

gear reducers used in gate operators have either a solid

plug, or a sealed vent plug, installed at the factory.

For operators with a solid plug, replace the solid plug with

the vent plug provided (see Figure 2).

With the vent plug installed, remove the vent plug’s breather

pin to allow the gear box to vent (see Figure 2).

Gate Arm Installation

The gate arm connects the operator to the gate. The arm

supplied can be used in left-hand or right-hand installations.

After the proper length of the crank extension and link

section of the arm has been determined, the arm is welded

to complete the assembly.

Setting Left or Right Hand Conﬁ guration

The welded style gate arm has been pre-assembled at the

factory in right-hand conﬁ guration (the back of the overtravel

stop faces toward the drive when the gate is fully closed

and the arm is installed). For a left-hand operator, rotate the

upper portion of the arm as shown in Figure 3 to convert the

arm into a left-hand orientation.

Gate Plate Installation

The gate plate mounts on the gate at the recommended

height (24-7/8” above the top of the operator pad). The gate

plate supplied with the arm assembly can be welded to the

gate as shown in Figure 4. Holes have been provided for

securing the gate plate to an aluminum gate.

Gate Arm Installation (Cont.)

Choosing Good Harmonics

Good harmonics are necessary to minimize wear and tear

on the operator. The gate will have smoother starts and stops

when the arm is installed with good harmonics. Figure 5

shows an example of good and bad arm harmonics.

Installing the Gate Arm on the Operator

The hex cap screws (see Figure 6) in the side of the crank

assembly are shipped loose for placement on the operator

drive shaft. Once in place, tighten these cap screws in place

by applying 75 ft-lbs of torque. If it becomes necessary to

remove the crank, you can do so by loosening these bolts.

The arm can also be disconnected for manual operation of

the gate by removing the disconnect pin.

Setting the Arm Lengths

Most installations will use the standard dimensions speciﬁ ed.

The dimensions shown in Figure 7 can be used to adjust and

set the arm. If non-standard mounting is required, contact

the factory for information.

Once the arm lengths have been determined, use clamps

to temporarily attach the solid bars to their sections of

rectangular tubing. If clamps are unavailable, you may also

tack weld the parts in place. It is recommended that you

check the arm for proper action and full gate travel

before fully welding the parts together. REMOVE THE

GATE ARM BEFORE WELDING! Apply Krylon® metallic

gold spray paint or equivalent to touch up welds when

ﬁ nished.

SWR • SWC • SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 6 - 227965 Revision X13 3-28-2008

Operator Setup

Controller Access

The Controller in models SWR, SWC and SWD is hinged for

access and can be removed without taking off the operator’s

cover. It swings down for installation, programming,

and troubleshooting access (see Figure 8). Under most

circumstances you will not need to remove the Controller.

To access the Controller, lift the metal tab below the AC

power switch and swing the Controller down. The Controller

is protected by a plastic dust cover. To remove the dust

cover, loosen the cover’s wing-screw and lift the cover off.

To remove the Controller from the operator, slide the

assembly to the right until the hinges release. Once freed,

you can turn the Controller slightly and remove it from the

operator. Be careful not to pull on the cables too hard.

AC Power Connection

All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power disconnect

switch to turn on and off the power available to the operator

(see Figure 9). Following wiring speciﬁ cations on Page 2,

incoming power should be brought into the operator and

connected to the labeled pigtails from the disconnect box. A

wiring connections print can be found on the label inside the

cover of the operator.

Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The

motor contains a thermal overload protector to guard from

overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency

operation. This overload protector will reset automatically

after the motor cools down.

Earth Ground

Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator’s frame

in every gate operator installation. A good earth ground is

necessary to allow the Controller’s built-in surge and lightning

protection circuitry to work effectively. The physical bolting

of the operator to the mounting pad is not sufﬁ cient for

a good earth ground.

✓ NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid

copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.

1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator mounting

pad within three feet of the operator.

2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the

ground rod.

3. Route the ground wire to the operator.

4. Connect the ground wire to the operator’s frame.

Operator Setup (Continued)

Limit Cam Rough Adjustment

The limit cams are not preset at the factory and must

be adjusted for each installation. The limit switches are

activated by two rotating limit cams attached to the drive

shaft (see Figure 10). The Controller is factory set for right

hand installations. The top cam is for OPEN and the bottom

cam is for CLOSE. The cams ﬂ ip their deﬁ nition in left hand

installations (see left-right hand programming on Page 12).

1. With the gate connected to the gate operator in a mid-travel position,

the power disconnect switch turned OFF, and the torque limiter

set loose enough to slip freely, manually move the gate by hand to

its fully open position.

2. Once the gate is in the fully open position, set the OPEN limit cam so

that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).

3. Manually move the gate to its fully closed position, set the CLOSE

limit cam so that it has just triggered its switch (see Figure 10).

Torque Limiter Adjustment

✓ NOTE: The open and close current sensing may need to be adjusted

before performing the following two steps. See Page 13.

This operator may be supplied with an optional torque limiter.

Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in

good working condition. With the gate disconnected from the

gate arm, one person should be able to move the gate by

hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without binding

throughout its travel.

Torque limiters are set light at the factory. They must be

adjusted during installation, preferably after limit cams have

been manually set. With the gate arm and gate attached,

adjust the torque limiter tight enough to keep it from slipping

during normal operation. The inherent entrapment protection

(current sensing) feature must activate prior to any slipping of

the torque limiter. See pages 13-14 for current sense setting.

To adjust the torque limiter in models SWR and SWD:

1. Loosen the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

2. Cycle the gate open and closed while observing the torque limiter

action. TURN THE OPERATOR POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH

OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

To increase the torque, turn the adjustment nut clockwise one ﬂ at, or

1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.

To reduce the torque, turn the adjustment nut counterclockwise one

ﬂ at, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is obtained.

3. When ﬁ nished, tighten the set screw on the torque limiter adjustment nut.

Limit Cam Fine Adjustment

After ﬁ nishing the rough limit cam adjustments and torque

limiter adjustment (if optional torque limiter is installed),

reposition the gate to approximately the center of travel.

1. Turn the power disconnect switch ON.

2. Stand clear of any moving parts and press the OPEN button.

3. After the gate opens, press the CLOSE button.

4. Observe the gate in both directions as it runs through each complete

cycle. Adjust the open or close limit cams again if necessary. If the

gate stops during travel, you may need to adjust the Open or Close

Current Setting or the Maximum Run Timer (see Pages 13-14).

Basic Controller Programming

Programming Overview

The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.

The programming ﬁ elds are deﬁ ned as “functions” that have “options”.

To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is

divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming

group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate

installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less

commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).

Entering Programming Mode

Enter programming mode by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons

together for one second. While in programming mode the PROGRAM

indicator will light.

Exiting Programming Mode

Exit programming mode at any time by pressing the UP and DOWN

buttons together. The Controller will automatically exit programming

mode after three minutes of inactivity.

Programming Keystrokes

(Typical Programming Method)

While in programming mode, press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll

through the programming functions. When the desired function is

displayed press the ENTER button to display the currently set option for

the function. When an option is displayed, the decimal points are lit.

To change the option, press and hold the ENTER button for 1 second. To

indicate that an option is ready to be changed, the display will ﬂ ash. While

the display is ﬂ ashing, press the UP or DOWN button to display the other

options available for that function.

When the desired option is displayed, press the ENTER button to store it

into memory. To select another function, press ENTER, UP, or DOWN.

Left or Right Hand Operation

The factory default is for right hand operation (operator on right side of

the driveway when viewed from the inside of the gate). For left hand

installations, program the Controller for left hand operation.

Dual Gate Enable

The factory default is for single gate operation. For dual gate operation,

wire the two gate controllers together through the COMM LINK terminals

(see Page 21) and enable dual gate operation with this programming

step.

✓ NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate

operation is enabled for paired units.

Auto Close Timer

The factory default turns off the Auto Close Timer. The timer can be set

from 1 to 59 seconds and from 1 to 9 minutes. When the Auto Close

Timer is set, after opening, the gate will wait for the length of the Auto

Close Timer then close automatically.

Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)

Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm

The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The

operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The

options are:

Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off•

Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off•

Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 3-9 Seconds•

Maximum Open Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator

monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the

programmed maximum load number, the operator will stop, reverse a

short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled,

and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If

after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the

open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is

being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to open the gate. The

motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. Set the

programmed load number above the measured load number, so that a

minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should an obstruction

occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions

without interruption.

Maximum Close Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator

monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the

programmed maximum load number, the operator will stop, reverse a

short distance, then stop again. Another close request will be required to

start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle

happens again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout

and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is

being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate.

The motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. Set

the programmed load number above the measured load number, so that

a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should an obstruction

Advanced Controller Programming

Entering Advanced Programming Mode

To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each

programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled.

After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions

will be available on the programming display during the next

programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more

cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.

Maximum Run Time

The factory default for the Maximum Run Time is 99 seconds. When the

operator starts, a timer will begin counting. If a open or close limit is not

reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received before the timer

expires, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds.

The timer can be set for 10 to 99 seconds.

Single Button Input Setup

This function is used for selecting the operation for single button controls

and radio receivers.

The factory default sets the SINGLE input terminal so successive inputs

will cycle the operator in OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP order.

Alternately, the SINGLE input can be set to cause the gate to OPEN

unless the gate is fully open. If the gate is fully open, the input will cause

the gate to CLOSE.

Stagger Mode

This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory

default sets the Stagger Mode to OFF. In dual gate installations the

two operators communicate through the 3-wire COMM LINK interface.

When using the Stagger Mode, set one operator for delayed opening and

the other operator for delayed closing. The Stagger Time programming

function (see below) sets the length of the delay.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is

selected.

Stagger Delay Time

This function is used in dual gate installations only. The factory

default sets the Stagger Time to 0 seconds (OFF). The Stagger Time

sets the delay for the Stagger Mode. The Stagger Delay Time can be set

from 1-99 seconds.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed if dual gate operation is

selected.

Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)

Auxiliary Relay Mode

The Auxiliary Relay has normally open and normally closed contacts.

The factory setting disables the Auxiliary Relay. The relay can be set for:

Maglock:• The relay will energize during any pending or actual gate

motion (open only), to deactivate a magnetic or solenoid gate lock.

Ticket Dispenser:• The relay will be energized at all times (enabling

a ticket dispenser) unless the operator is fully open or in an

entrapment condition.

Strobe:• The relay will energize during any pending or actual gate

motion (either open or close), to activate a warning strobe light.

Alarm:• The relay will energize if the gate is manually forced open

from the full closed position.

Reverse Delay Time

The factory default sets the Reverse Delay to 1 second. The operator

will wait the length of the delay before reversing direction. This feature

will not change the reversal time when the operator is responding to an

entrapment condition from an obstruction input or inherent entrapment

protection sensor. The Reverse Delay can be set from 1 to 9 seconds.

Heaver gates require a longer delay to allow time for the gate to stop.

Low Power Mode

This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. The

factory default disables the Low Power Mode. When Low Power Mode is

enabled, and AC power fails, the controller will assume Low Power Mode

after 60 seconds of gate inactivity. Low power mode turns off all accessory

power and indicators. Only inputs from the radio receiver, reverse loop,

or restoring AC power will wake the Controller from Low Power Mode.

Programming Mode can still be accessed while the Controller is in Low

Power Mode.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators.

Power Failure Mode

This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. The

factory default is set for Fail Safe, alternately the Controller can be set for

Fail Secure, Open Immediate, or Close Immediate.

Fail Safe:• If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops below

approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will cycle open

if not already open. When AC power is restored, or the battery gets

charged by solar panels, the operator will resume normal operation

and auto-close if programmed to do so.

Fail Secure:• If the AC power fails and the battery voltage drops

below approximately 22 Volts, 5 seconds later the operator will

cycle closed if not already closed. When AC power is restored, or

the battery gets charged by solar panels, the operator will resume

normal operation.

✓ NOTE: Fail Safe and Fail Secure are disabled if Stagger Mode is

enabled.

Open Immediate:• If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle

open if not already open and cease operation. When AC power is

restored, the operator will resume normal operation and auto-close

if programmed to do so.

Close Immediate:• If the AC power fails, the operator will cycle

closed if not already closed and cease operation. When AC power is

restored, the operator will resume normal operation.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators.

Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)

Soft Start/Stop Duration

This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. This

function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly

reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only).

The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds. The

Soft Start/Stop Duration can be set from 1 to 10 seconds.

✓ NOTE: Changing the Soft Start/Stop Duration will reset the open and

close current setting value to zero. It will be necessary to reprogram

maximum open and close current settings.

✓ NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators

set for DC motor operation with soft start motor selection.

Reset Cycle Count

The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been

activated and can display the count rounded off to the nearest 1000. To

reset the Cycle Count, press and hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds

while the Cycle Count is displayed.

If the Maintenance Alert has been triggered, resetting the Cycle Count

will also reset the Maintenance Alert indicator.

Maintenance Alert Trigger

The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed to

light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.

The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles.

The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25

thousand cycles.

The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the

operator’s absolute Cycle Count.

Mid-travel Stop Position

The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel

point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a

large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to

be opened partway to allow trafﬁ c to pass.

The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately,

the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop,

before reaching the open limit.

When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate

will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN

button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close

obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.

✓ NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate

operation is enabled for paired units.

Motor Type Selection

The factory sets the default for the Controller to match the type of motor in

the operator. If required, change the motor selection option to a different

type of motor used in the operator. The options available are:

AC Motor Only•

DC Motor Only with Mechanical Braking•

Dual Gate Installations

Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The

operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire

COMM LINK terminals.

When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection

signals the other operator to activate. Each operator

functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring

its inputs and accessories.

A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect

two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760

Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N

2500-1982, per foot).

✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal

“C” in both operators.

Three of the programming functions available are only used

for dual gate installations:

Dual Gate Enable•

Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.

Stagger Mode•

The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed

open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one

operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is

programmed for delayed close.

Stagger Delay Time•

The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.

See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate

programming functions.

Gate Operation

Open Button

Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop

opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN

button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open

the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended

until the OPEN button is released.

Close Button

Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if

the gate is in the process of opening.

Stop Button

Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.

Single Input

Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open

(open-close programming option). Activating the input while

the gate is moving will reverse the gate.

Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is

moving (open-stop-close programming option).

Fire Department Input

Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides

the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is

programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open

position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button

to release the lockout.

Open Input

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Open Obstruction

While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will

cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then

stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a

renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should

the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again

prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout,

and sound the emergency alarm.

Close Obstruction

Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.

Reverse Input

If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the

gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close

Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will

close when the Auto Close Timer expires.

Open Loop

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Reverse Loop

Functions the same as the reverse input.

Shadow/Reset Loop

Only used with Swing Gates. Holds the gate fully open or fully

closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately

when cleared.

Operation Indications

During normal operation, the Controller’s displays will

indicate current operating conditions and status.

Power-up Display

When the Controller powers up, dashes will show on the

display for one second, then the ﬁ rmware version number

will be displayed for one second.

Exiting programming restarts the Controller. The power-up

display will show upon the restart.

Idle Condition

While the Controller is idling, waiting for a command, the

display will show circulating dashes.

Last Gate Position/Condition

When the gate moves or stops, the display will show the

status for up to one minute.

Stop is displayed as • St

Full Close is displayed as • FC

Full Open is displayed as • FO

Entrapment is displayed as • En

Pre-start Delay

During the pre-start delay, the display will countdown the

number of seconds remaining before the operator starts.

Reverse Delay

If the gate travel direction is reversed from a user activation or

reversing device, and a reverse delay is set, the display will count

down the delay time in seconds before the operator restarts.

Run Timer

While the gate is opening or closing, the number of seconds

running time is displayed.

Error Indications

During abnormal operation, the Controller’s displays and

beeper will indicate the error condition that has occurred.

Entrapment

If an entrapment condition occurs detected by two repeated

open or close obstruction triggers, the Controller will lock

the operator out. The beeper will sound constantly and the

gate will not operate. To reset the Controller press the STOP

button or press the RESET button on the operator’s cover.

COMM LINK Connection Failure

In dual gate installations, if there is a connection failure

between the two operators, the COMM LINK indicator will

blink once a second. During this condition the gate will not

operate, except if triggered by the FIRE DEPT input, which

functions normally.

MGT Obstacle Transmitter Trouble

If any MGT transmitters are used with the operator, their

supervision feature will alert the Controller if there is any

trouble with the transmitter. MGT transmitters send hourly

status reports and will send low battery reports when the

transmitter has a low battery. The MGT transmitters also

have a tamper detection switch that will trigger when their

case is opened.

When the Controller detects a low transmitter battery, a

tamper signal, or missing transmitter status reports, the

gate will still operate normally, but the beeper will change

as follows:

The Pre-start Alarm will beep twice as fast.•

The Run Alarm will beep twice as fast and continue for ﬁ ve minutes •

after the gate stops.

The sounder will “chirp” every ﬁ ve seconds when the gate is idle.•

Correct the trouble (close case, replace battery, or replace

transmitter) to clear the obstacle transmitter trouble

indications.

Maximum Run Time Exceeded

If the Maximum Run Time is exceeded, the Controller stops

the operator the same as if a double obstacle has occurred

in an entrapment condition. The entrapment alarm sounds

constantly, and is cleared by pressing the STOP button or the

RESET button on the cover. After the STOP or RESET button

is pressed, because the Maximum Run Time has been

exceeded, the sounder will beep twice every ﬁ ve seconds.

The next operation of the gate will clear the indication.

Troubleshooting

Contacting Technical Support

For technical questions regarding Linear gate operators, contact the

Technical Services Department at:

1-800-421-1587 from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM Paciﬁ c time

Operator fails to start

A. If the operator has been running a large number

of cycles, the motor may have become too hot and

tripped its thermal overload breaker. Allow the motor to

cool down and the thermal overload breaker will reset

automatically.

B. Make sure you have power at the master distribution

panel and that the power has not been turned off.

Motor operates, but gate does not move

A. In operators with torque limiters and friction pad clutches,

check for signs of slipping. You can mark the sprocket

and clutch with a yellow or white grease pen and watch

for the lines to move apart if slipping is taking place.

Adjust the torque limiter tighter if this is the problem.

B. Check for broken chain or worn belts.

C. Check all setscrews on pulleys and sprockets and tighten

them if necessary, and check for keys which may have

fallen loose from keyways.

Motor sounds like it is working harder than normal

A. Make sure the gate is moving freely and without binding

throughout its entire travel.

B. Check the drive chain for obstructions (if the operator

has one).

C. If the operator has an internal brake mechanism, make

sure it is releasing.

Limit switch getting out of time

A. Check the setscrews in limit cams for tightness. Replace

if necessary.

Gate stopping part way open or closed

(but no visible obstruction)

A. The Controller may have received a false obstruction

input triggered by current sensing set too low. Make sure

the gate moves freely through its entire travel before

adjusting the current sensing.

B. The Maximum Run Timer may have counted down and

expired. This can be caused by having the timer set too

low, if a chain or belt is broken, or if a sprocket or pulley

is slipping. When the timer expires, the gate stops and

the beeper will sound.

C. An obstruction signal from an accessory wired to the

obstruction input may have triggered falsely. Check the

control board for lit indicators for any of the following

inputs: safety, shadow/reset, open obstruction, close

obstruction, stop, etc. If any are lit when the operator

should be running, remove all devices hooked to that

function and hook them up one at a time and try to run

the operator until the problem device is found. Refer to

Page 9 for details on the control board indicators.

Gate staying open with automatic system

A. If there are vehicle detectors used with the operator, one

of the loops or loop detectors may be sending a false

signal or needs to be reset. Observe the indicators on

the loop detector. Unplug the detector and try running

the operator.

B. An opening or reversing device may be stuck or

malfunctioning. Try disconnecting these devices and

hook them back up one at a time and try running the

operator until the malfunctioning device is found.

C. Make sure the close limit switch isn’t activated. If it is, the

operator will think the gate is already closed.

Model SWD Maintenance

Battery Maintenance

The gel-cell batteries in this operator require no routine

maintenance. For assured continued performance, they

should be replaced every year. If power is to be removed

for one week or more, disconnect the negative wire from the

batteries as this will prevent deep discharging. Fully charge

before use after storage or upon initial installation.

DC Motor Brush Replacement

Brushes should be inspected every 100,000 cycles or

yearly, whichever comes ﬁ rst. The motor has two brushes,

one on each side.

Original brushes are approximately 3/4” long and should be

replaced when they are 1/4” long, or sooner. If brushes are

allowed to wear beyond this point, permanent damage to

the motor may result.

To inspect the brushes: (1) remove the retaining cap with

straight-blade screwdriver; (2) carefully pull assembly

straight out; (3) measure the remaining brush material.

To reinstall: (4) place the brush in holder, aligning the brush’s

rounded indentation correctly with motor shaft; (5) gently

push in the spring and align metal contact with oval slot in

the brush holder, then push it in with retaining cap. Hold the

cap in place and thread the cap into brush holder. Do not

overtighten or cap will crack!

Repeat for the other brush.

Preventative Maintenance

General

Linear gate operators are designed for many years of

trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating

conditions, will require only minimal maintenance. To ensure

that a unit is ready for operation at all times, and to preclude

serious damage or failure, inspect the unit systematically.

Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as

recommended.

Lubrication

✓ Bearings — For models which have pillow block style

bearings with grease ﬁ ttings, lubricate at least twice a

year with a lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2

rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not

require additional lubrication.

✓ Motor — Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not

require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after

several years of operation, bearings should be replaced

by a motor repair company, or the motor should be

replaced if necessary.

✓ Swing Gate Arm — Check all bolts for proper tension

and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm folds

overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop

to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven

open. Adjust the close limit slightly if additional travel

is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light

machine oil.

6-Month Preventative Maintenance

1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check

for proper tightness. If there appears to be dust from wear

on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary. If

the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the

gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.

2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace

as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if

required. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and

tighten if necessary.

3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain

and sprockets for wear and replace if necessary.

Check for proper tension and alignment, and adjust if

required. Check all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if

required.

4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,

etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit

switch assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a

light coating of dry lubricant.

5. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten

as necessary.

6. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect

all contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check

photoeyes for proper alignment and function.

7. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when

ﬁ nished with inspection and maintenance.

8. Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs

intact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced,

contact Linear. Be sure there are no control stations

mounted within reach of the gate. Review safety literature

with the customer and advise them to remove any such

stations found.

FCC Notice

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15 and Industry

Canada Rules & Regulations. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

For all gate operators, you must inspect the gate for proper

operation. The gate should move easily without binding through

its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or ﬁ x as required.

Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse

effects on the operator.

WARNING

Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.

Keep clear of gate during operation.
