INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE IN-GROUND CASE
Check the national and local building codes before installation. The instructions and
illustrations in this manual are examples ONLY. Your installation may vary depending
on space, obstructions, and accessories. It is up to the installer to select the most
suitable solution. Installation and assembly is quick and easy with the in-ground case.
1
Determine the location for the in-ground case (Figure 1). The location will
depend on the supporting structure and desired opening. When the operator is
installed the rotation pin should be centered with the hinge of gate (Figure 2).
2
Hang a Plumb Bob from the hinge to help locate the center point of the
rotation pin to determine the size and location of the hole for the in-ground
case. Dig the hole for the in-ground case.
3
Prepare a trench and install the the junction boxes, electrical conduits, and
drainage tube (Figure 1).
NOTE:
ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit. The
number of conduits will depend on your site and the accessories to be
installed.
4
Prepare a drainage system to drain away any water. The drainage system will
prevent water leaks which may cause oxidation (Figure 1).
5
Set the in-ground case in the hole and make sure the conduit and drainage
pipes are inserted into separate knockout holes.
6
Level the in-ground case. The upper edge of the case should be 1 inch (25
mm) above the ground.
IMPORTANT:
Hang a Plumb Bob from the hinge to
make sure the rotation pin in the in-ground case is aligned with the upper
hinge on the gate (Figure 2).
7
Backfill the hole with concrete. Allow the concrete to cure for at least 24
hours.
INSTALL THE IN-GROUND CASE
• To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact
underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging more than 18 inches
(46 cm) deep.
