1601 BREAK-AWAY OCTAGON ARM INSTALLATION KIT

This kit is designed

 

for a 1601 barrier gate operator 

ONLY.

 It 

CANNOT

 be used with 1602 or 1603 operators. The kit provides a 

break-away bracket assembly for a 

octagon arm

 with 

OR

 without reverse/LED edge 

ONLY

. When the arm is raised, LEDs turn 

GREEN

, and turns 

RED

 when lowered and remains 

RED

 in the down position. Arm will reverse if lowering and a obstruction is 

encountered. If the arm is struck and breaks away (pivots in 

ONE DIRECTION ONLY

, see below), gate operator will automatically 

shut down. The arm manually snaps back into the release rollers to function normally again.

Installation

Hub 

MUST

 already be installed on gate operator.

See your 1601 Barrier Installation/Owner’s manual for correct hub installation.
