rev 12-14-15

Step 3:  Attach Opener Arm (page 10)
Step 4:  Install Closed Position Stop Plates (page 11)
Step 5:  Mount the Control Box (page 12)
Step 6:  Connect Opener Power Cables (page 13)
Step 7:  Connect the Transformer (page 13) OR Solar Charger (page 21)
Step 8:  Connect Battery Harness (page 15)
Step 9:  Connect Battery (page 16)
Step 10: Remove Push-To-Open Jumper

 

A.  Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. 

 

B.  Use small pliers to move the JUMPER for PUSH-TO-OPEN 

applications. 

 

C.  Turn power switch ON. The control board is now configured to 

push the gate open. (Keep the jumper, as it is necessary if there 

is ever a need to convert the opener for Pull-To-Open).  

Step 11: Set the Open Position Limit (Push-to-Open)

Note: Must have a transmitter that operates the gate. If not see Personalize Your Transmitter Setting on page 18. 
The CLOSED limit is when the opener is fully retracted and the gate is in the closed position. The closed limit setting can 

only be adjusted by moving the gate bracket. To acheive the optimum open position, you must adjust the OPEN Limit 

setting: 
 

A.  If not already ON slide the ON/OFF switch on the Control Box to the ON position and make sure the arms are in 

the CLOSED POSITION (fully retracted). 

 

B.  Press and HOLD the FIRST Opener 

OPEN button on the control board and 

be prepared to RELEASE the button 

when the gates reached the desired 

open position/limit. Use the JOG 

OPEN and CLOSE buttons to "fine 

tune" the gate position if neccessary.

 

C.  Press and HOLD the SECOND Opener 

OPEN button on the control board and 

be prepared to RELEASE the button 

when the gates reached the desired 

open position/limit. Use the JOG 

OPEN and CLOSE buttons to "fine 

tune" the gate position if neccessary.

 

D.  NOTE: The opener arms must be extended more than 7 inches to set limits. With the gates in in the desired 

open positions PRESS and HOLD the SET LIMIT button until the alarm and RED Light come on. Then release the 

button.

 

E.  NOTE: When the control box cover is removed the receiver range is reduced to less than 5 feet. Press the 

transmitter button once and allow the gates to fully close. The alarm will beep once when both gates reach the 

CLOSED LIMIT. This indicates the LIMITS for both arms are learned and stored in memory

 

F.  Press the transmitter button and allow the gates to fully open to verify that they stop at the desired positions. 

Repeat Steps B – E if correction is needed.

Step 12: Adjust Stall Force Setting (page 17)
Step 13: Set Auto Close Time (page 17)
Step 13: Personalize Transmitter Settings (page 18)
