INS./OUTS. INT. SENSE / SHADOW SENSE / EXIT SENSE (TB12/TB13/TB14/TB15) INPUTS 

INSIDE 

Input from an Inside Interrupt loop provides the signal for an optional 

LiftMaster INTERRUPT 

loop detector add-on board.  Operation is the same as the 

Interrupt Loop SENSE 

input, above. 

OUTSIDE 

Input from an Outside Interrupt loop provides the signal for an optional 

INTERRUPT 

LiftMaster loop detector add-on board.  Operation is the same as the 

Interrupt SENSE  Loop input, above. 
SHADOW  

Input from shadow loop provides signal for optional LiftMaster loop detector 

SENSE   

add-on board.  Operation is the same as Shadow Loop input, above. 

EXIT  

Input from exit loop provides signal for optional LiftMaster loop detector add-

on SENSE 

board.  Operation is the same as Exit Loop input, above. 

RADIO INPUT (TB6) 

RADIO RECV 

Convenience terminals provide power (24VAC, 200mA) and signal 
connection for a radio receiver.  Activation is the same as CYCLE. 

MAG LOCK INPUT (TB4) 

MAG LOCK 

NO

 and 

COM

 inputs can close a circuit (i.e., MagLock) when the Close Limit 

switch is activated (the gate is fully closed). 

NC

 and 

COM

 inputs close a circuit (security camera, camcorder, light, etc.) 

when the Close Limit switch is deactivated (when gate is not fully closed). 

SLAVE I/O INPUT (TB1) 

SLAVE I/O 

Input/output terminals are used to control a second gate operator in a 
Master/Slave system. 

ADJUSTMENTS 

OVERLOAD 

Factory-set pot protects the gate operator from excessive motor current.  

(R71) 

If RETRY is ON, when the limit is exceeded, a closing gate reverses a few 

 

inches and stops, and an opening gate stops, waits 30 second, then tries to 

 

resume.  The gate will retry twice before faulting out. 

 

NOTE:

  Gate may be more sensitive to drag in one direction than the other. 

NOTE:

  For swing gate operation, controls are Right/Clockwise and Left/Counterclockwise. 

REVERSE 

Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous  

RIGHT (R78) 

rise in motor current.  If RETRY is ON, when the limit is exceeded, a closing 

 

gate opens fully and an opening gate stops, waits 30 seconds, then tries to 

 

resume.  The gate will retry twice before faulting out. 

REVERSE 

Adjustable pot controls gate sensitivity to blockages by the instantaneous 

LEFT (R81) 

rise in motor current.  If RETRY is ON, when the limit is exceeded, a closing 

 

gate opens fully and an opening gate stops, waits 30 seconds, then tries to 

 

resume.  The gate will retry twice before faulting out. 

NOTE:

  LiftMaster gate operators have two reverse sense adjustments (left and right) 

where other gate operators have only one.  This allows greater flexibility of 
installation.  For instance, you can install a gate on an incline and not worry 
about sacrificing downhill gate sensitivity. 

INRUSH  

Adjustable pot controls the delay in sensitivity to a reverse sense input.  

(R119) 

This delay in sensitivity prevents the initial motor inrush current from 

 

causing a fault condition.  The weight of the gate determines this setting.   

RECLOSE 

Adjustable pot controls the time delay between gate reaching full open and  

TIMER (R94) 

starting to reclose.  The Reclose Timer is adjustable from 0-250 seconds.
