You are now ready to install and connect the auxiliary 
equipment.  INSTALLATION STEPS DETAILED IN 
SECTIONS A, B, C AND D MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE 
PROCEEDING. 

1.  Vehicle Detectors:  

If a Vehicle Detector (Reversing 

Loop) is to be a part of this installation, start with this 
first.  Connect the vehicle detector to AC power and the 
loop in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions 
and the information contained in this manual.  Do not 
connect to the terminal strip of the LP1000 at this time.  
Test the vehicle detector independently using 
the presence lamp on the front panel of the 
detector and a metal plate over the loop.  When 
you are satisfied that the detector is working 
properly, connect the output wires to terminal 
#11, "REV LOOP",  on the control panel of the 
LP1000.

Give the gate an open command and allow the 
close timer to start the gate to close.  Place the 
metal plate over the loop and observe that the 
"REVERSING LOOP" light comes ON and the 
gate reopens. 

2.  Free Exit:  

If a "FREE EXIT" detector is installed, 

connect the output wires of this detector to the FREE 
EXIT Terminal.  (It is acceptable to have more than 
one device connected to the same terminal.)  Place 
the metal plate over the FREE EXIT LOOP and 
observe that the gate opens to the fully open position.  
Leave the metal plate on the loop for at least one 
minute.  Observe that the gate does not close.  
Remove the plate from the loop and observe that the 

gate closes.  (Some vehicle detectors will "tune out" a constant 
obstruction to the loop after 15 to 30 minutes.)

3. 

Installing other entry devices:  

After you are satisfied that all the 

loops are functioning properly, proceed with the installation of the 
additional devices, such as a radio receiver, telephone entry or key 
pad.  Use the wiring procedures as described on page 11.  Observe 
the precautions regarding radio receivers.   Connect other entry 
devices to the appropriate terminal determined by the function 
desired per the chart on page 17 and 18.

INSTALLATION NOTES FOR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT  

BASIC OPERATIONAL GUIDE 

x

If the gate is fully closed an Open Button, Alternate, Radio or Free Exit 

input will cause the gate to begin moving in the open direction. 

x

If the gate is fully open a Close Button, Alternate, or Radio input will 

cause the gate to begin moving in the close direction. 

x

If the gate is moving in a Close direction a Close Non-Contact Sensor, 

Close Contact Sensor input or a Close Overload activation will cause 
the gate to stop, pause and reverse for approximately 2 inches in the 
Open direction. 

x

If the gate is moving in a Close direction an Open Button, Radio, 

Reversing, or Free Exit Loop input  will cause the gate to stop, pause, 
reverse and run in the Open direction. 

x

If the gate is moving in a Close direction a Stop Button or Alternate 

input will cause the gate to stop.  A subsequent Alternate input will 
cause the gate to begin moving in the Open direction. 

x

If the gate is moving in an Open direction an Open Non-Contact 

Sensor, Open Contact Sensor input or an Open Overload activation will 
cause the gate to stop, pause and reverse for approximately 2 inches in 
the Open direction. 

x

If the gate is moving in an Open direction a Stop or Alternate input will 

cause the gate to stop.  A subsequent Alternate input will cause the gate 
to begin moving in the Close direction. 

x

Two sequential activations of the Overload detector (Open or Close 

direction) before the gate reaches a limit will cause the operator to go 
into the alarm mode.  To reset the operator remove the obstruction and 
either use constant pressure on a control button connected to the OPEN 
or CLOSE input and move the gate to a fully open or closed position or 
turn off and restore the power to the operator.  

MANUAL OPERATION 

- The gate can be moved open or 

close in case of power failure or other need to move the gate manually  
without disconnecting the operator chain.  Remove power from the unit 
(if not already off) and firmly grasp the leading edge of the gate.  Push 
or pull the gate in the direction desired.  The amount of force required to 
move the gate will depend on the gate weight and the inherent friction of 
the overall system.  Manual operation is possible without removing 
power when the gate is in any position except the closed position, but 
the lock will engage at the closed position and caution must be exercised 
as control inputs will be active and able to energize the operator.
