The FSL700 vehicular gate operator is designed to be mounted on a concrete pad. Select a location for the gate operator to
be installed. For pad location and size:
1. Determine the location for the operator to be installed. (Front Mount v. Rear
Mount)
2. Follow all local building codes to determine the required depth of the concrete
pad. The average concrete pad should be 24” wide x 24” long x 24” deep.
3. Extend the pad 4” above ground and 24” below ground.
4. When the exact location of the operator can be predetermined, all conduits may
be located in the concrete pad terminating directly under the operator. Extend
each conduit a minimum of 1” above the level of the concrete pad. See the
Conduit Location diagram below. It is suggested to install a minimum of four (4)
conduits: (1) High Voltage Conduit, (1) Low Voltage Conduit , (1) Loop Lead
Wire Conduit, (1) Accessory Conduit.
5. When the exact location of the operator can not be predetermined, bring all conduits up to one side and terminate in a
Bell Box. Make connections to the operator using water-tight flex conduit.
6. Form the concrete pad as shown and pour concrete. Allow the concrete to cure for 48 hours before removing the
forms and mounting the operator.
7. Do not place mounting bolts in the concrete while pouring. Bolts may drift in wet concrete making the operator
location inaccurate.
8. NOTE: The path of the gate and gate track must be installed on concrete. The average gate track concrete should
be a minimum of 10” wide x 12” deep the entire length of the gate track and travel. Failure to place the gate track on
concrete can result in track movement and cause gate failure or derailment.
