TOOLS REQUIRED
The following tools and materials are required for a proper installation of the GS6000. The listing below is minimum list
and not meant as definitive, allow experience to dictate if a task can be better accomplished with a different tool.
1. Wire cutter, stripper and crimping tools. (For attaching accessory equipment to the control box barrier strip.)
2. A #2 Phillips Head screw driver for removing the screws to the High Voltage cover.
3. Medium standard straight blade screw driver for the terminal strip screws.
4. Very small blade screwdriver. (For adjusting the potentiometer on the Logic and Power board.)
5. Electric arc welder or an electric drill with a 3/8" bit. (For attaching Arm Bracket to the Gate.)
6. Several feet of #18 or #22 gauge insulated multistrand wire. (For connecting accessory equipment to the control
box terminal strip, and for limit switch control wires.)
7. Four 1/2" diameter concrete anchor bolts with hex nuts, flat washers and lock washers. (For attaching the GS6000
to the concrete pad.) (Not Included)
8. Concrete drill and bit. (To drill mounting holes for concrete bolts.)
9. Multimeter. (To test line voltage and other measurements as necessary.)
10. Small level. (To level GS6000 at installation.)
11. Hex Key set (5/16” and 1/8” hex key specifically needed)
11. Torque Wrench and 1-5/8” Socket

INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
PLACING THE GS6000 OPERATOR
Remove the turret cover and rain seal from the shaft of the
GS6000. SAVE THEM!
Next, remove the cover from the GS6000
by removing the 5/16 inch diameter bolts on each side of the unit
and set them aside.
SAVE THEM!
The operator cover, rain seal
and turret cover are to be re-installed in reverse order of removal at
the completion of the installation.
The recommended procedure for attaching the GS6000 to the
concrete pad is first to locate and drill the hole for the mounting hole
nearest to the gate post. Locate this hole by referring to Figures 5
and 6 (Page 6) and Figure 8 (Page 10). Figure 5 features an aerial
view of the operator footprint and concrete pad outline for a
left
-
hand mounted GS6000 operator with gate. Figure 6 features an
isometric view of a
left-
hand mounted GS6000 operator with gate.
Figure 8 features an aerial view of a
right-
hand mounted GS6000
operator with gate and an isometric view of the gate arm assembly in
a exploded fashion . All dimensions are applicable to either the left-
hand or right-hand views, transpose them as necessary to your
particular installation.
Ensure the operator is placed on the
concrete pad such that the center of the output shaft is 42”
vertically and 16” horizontally away from the gate center
hinge point, as illustrated in Figure 5. These are the
critical dimensions for this part of the installation.
After drilling, place an anchor bolt in the initial hole, then reset the
operator mounting hole over that bolt. Measure, re-measure, align,
mark and drill the remaining three holes, again referring to Figures
5, 6 and 8. This can be accomplished with the operator in place or
moved temporarily to the side if desired.
Before tightening the concrete anchor bolts, make sure the GS6000
is level. If any corners of the GS6000 are resting above the concrete
pad, flat washers may be inserted under the frame rails. With the
operator sitting level on the concrete pad, place the anchor flat
washers, lock washers and nuts on the anchor bolts and tighten
securely.
If 1/2" diameter anchor bolts are used, the 3/4" mounting holes on
the GS6000 will allow some adjustment for desired alignment.
TO REVIEW: Make sure the correct position of the GS6000 from
the center line of the gate hinge pivot point to the center line of the
GS6000 output shaft is in accordance with the drawing of Figure 5.
INSTALLING THE GS6000 ARM
Temporarily locate the Gate Bracket on the gate with C-clamps
or by tack welding. The gate bracket is installed to the gate so
the gate arm will be level when connected to the GS6000 output
shaft. See Figure 6 on page 6 and Figure 8 on page 10 for
positioning of the Gate Bracket. The 28-3/4” dimension as
referenced in Figure 6 assumes a pad height of 3” above ground.
Adjust the placement of the gate bracket on the gate at such a
height that corresponds with the height of the concrete pad (add
to the 28-3/4” dimension if the pad is higher than 3”, subtract if
lower.
The 40” horizontal dimension referenced in
Figure 8 and the 28-3/4” dimension referenced in
Figure 6 are the critical dimensions for this part of the
installation.
Again this is a temporary placement, the gate
bracket will be permanently mounted after the gate arm is
assembled and installed. Move the gate to it’s fully closed
position and temporarily immobilize the gate in that position.
