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.
Ground Rod
Earth Ground
Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board
until the installation is ready for verification.
The X-9 Gate Operator requires a single phase
AC 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 performance
check and adjustments.
5. To verify that there is AC power to the
system, check that the ‘Charger’ LED on the
Control Board is on.

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.

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 below):
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 below):
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).

A Master/Slave control board is required to
operate two gates with a single controller.
Gate Overlap Setting
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.
Setting the Overlap Delay Pot to “0” will cause the master and the slave units to
open and close at the same time
