WARNING- To reduce the risk of injury or death:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Installation should be performed by a professional installer.
Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only.
Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.
Install control devices such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further) from any
moving parts of the operator and gate to prevent possible injury.
A secondary entrapment device such as loop detectors, edge switches, and beam
detectors are highly recommended and required to meet the UL325 standard.
Review with the owner all safety concerns including:
Do not operate the gate unless area around gate is in full view.
Never let children operate or play with operator controls. Keep the remote con-
trol away from children.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE/ARM.
Test the operator monthly (see page 14 Programming the current sensitivity).
The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object
activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or limit of travel, re-
test the operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can in-
crease the risk of injury or death.
Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.
Always disconnect the battery or power source when making adjustments or
repairs to any part of the operator.
The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
Auto Close feature not recommended without a safety device such as a loop
detector or photo eye.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Metro Swing Gate Operator is designed to handle a swing gate up to 10 feet
in total length and 400 pounds. Apollo Operators are available only through
qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the fence and gate industry.
These dealers will be able to recommend the proper equipment for particular
applications. Apollo Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered. If a elec-
trical battery charger is used a 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour minimum) is
recommended . If solar charging is used a 12 volt 105 ampere hour battery is rec-
ommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
Battery powered operators can provide up to 500 operations in the event of
power outages.
The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy
(eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is not readily available, a
licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators
only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge
capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations. All solar
panels and battery chargers are designed for use with a 12 volt battery.

Note: Double the amount of solar panels for Dual Operators.
APPLICATIONS
55
The following checklist should be used before beginning installation:
Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application.
Determine the general location of the operator, access controls, and solar
panel (if used).
1. Is there a suitable location for the operator?
2.Can the solar panel (if used) be mounted in an unobstructed area facing
south?
3. Will additional solar panel cable be required? If additional cable is required,
do not cut out the blocking diode when adding the cable.
4. Is electricity available (if required)?
Consider safety and access options. Recommend if needed.
1. Will there be chidren or animals in the area?
2. Are safety loops, edge switches, or photo eye detectors required? The auto
close feature is not recommended unless one or more of these devices are
used.
3. How can the gate be opened in emergencies?
4. How will visitors enter and exit?
5. Will vehicles (and trailers) have sufficient room off roadway to operate
access control devices such as keypads?

Box should be level and
adequately supported with
proper drainage.
Control Box Installation
Mount the control box so that cable(8’) will reach the
motor. Do not mount the control box where the
person using the push button on side of the box
can come in contact with the gate. Use mounting
hardware capable of supporting the weight of the
control box with the battery installed.
Set battery inside of control box with terminals
toward the front (Do not use any battery with side
terminals).

Adjust stops so gate travel is
limited properly.
Move arm to close stop and install close limit switch with
supplied screws so that switch is activated.. Move arm to open stop and install open limit switch with
supplied screws so that switch is activated.
Mechanical Stop and Limit Switch Installation
Note: Limit switches may be adjusted later for precise open and close positions.

NOTE: For right mounted operators, blue motor wire goes to red cable wire, brown motor wire to black cable wire.
To verify motor wiring–place gate half way open, plug main harness into emergency bypass for 2 seconds. Gate
should open if it closes, reverse red and black wires.
To verify limits, enable LEDs on board–verify open limit when gate opens and closed limit when closed - If
reversed–swap limit switch positions.
