Determining The Mounting Position
of The Post Bracket Assembly
Step 1
With the gates
closed
, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate
bracket until the operator is level. While holding the operator level,
use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and
gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.
Push to Open Installation
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A "Push-to-Open" gate opens
out
from the property.
If you have a pull-to-open gate (gate opens
into
the property), return to
page 13.
In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the operators are installed while the
gates are in the
closed
position.
NOTE:
An optional 12" long Post Pivot Bracket (R4KPTO) is available
for installations that need a greater distance to achieve the safe gate and
gate operator clearance (2 inches).
Step 2
After verifying that you have the best position
for the post pivot bracket, insert the

bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket
and post pivot bracket and fasten it with the
5

16"
washer and nut.
IMPORTANT:
If you loosened the clamp on
the post bracket to achieve the optimum position,
tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate
bracket with the gate in the open position (move the
gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary).
IMPORTANT:
While determining the mounting point for the post
pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum
clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed
positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the
operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the
gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
Connecting Other Auxiliary Devices (Mag Locks,
Sirens, Lights, etc.}
• These 2 terminals are normally open 'dry-contact' (no voltage) relay ouput.
• These 2 terminals are ON (shorted) whenever the gate is moving and OFF (opened) otherwise.
• These 2 terminals maximum rating is 24Vdc, 1 Amp.
