LI-2B Installation Manual
Dear Installer/Owner
Congratulations on your purchase of the Australian Made Arco Pty. Ltd. Automatic Gate
Operator. The LI-2B gate operator is a breeze to install. It has been researched, designed
and manufactured by Arco Pty. Ltd. to be a reliable operator with almost non-existent
maintenance required.
To save you time and make installation easier, the LI-2B has a pre-wired control circuit
board and placed it under the cover with motor/gears etc. This means that you do not have
to spend time wiring up to a separate control box.
Circuitry for most options is already included. You simply have to connect up the external
devices. No extra boxes or cables are required.
The design features in the LI-2B gate operator will save you hours on site and the
installation will be neat and tidy.
Apart from the physical attributes the control circuit has some powerful operating features.
These can be adjusted on-site without modification to suit a range of situations.
This manual should answer most of your questions regarding the installation and operating
of the LI-2B gate operator. If further information is required, please contact us.
The Arco Pty. Ltd. LI-2B gate operator can be purchased as a single gate operator (primary),
which comes complete with the Logic Control Circuit board and can be installed on either
the left or right hand side. The dual set includes the above as well as a secondary (slave)
operator that does not have logic control.
LI-2B Installation Manual
Introduction
The Arco Pty. Ltd. LI-2B automatic gate operator is an electronically controlled automatic
gate operator for swing gates. The LI-2B has a range of features that are built in and some
options are also available.
The LI-2B intelligent Gate operator can be used in a variety of situations.
•240 Volt AC or Solar Power or 12 Volt AC/DC
•Inward or Outward swinging gates
•Restricted Side Room
•Single gate or a gate pair
•Where a gate is required to swing 90 degree and up to 130 degrees
A powerful control system gives the flexibility to change some important characteristics of
the operation which include
•Automatic Close
•Sensitivity to obstacles
The control system also allows for the addition of the following options
•Electric Lock
•Photoelectric cells (240 volt only)
•Operation with a wide range of devices
For all its sophistication the LI-2B gate operator is extremely reliable and its robust
construction ensures a long trouble free life.
Arco Pty. Ltd. has extensively tested the LI-2B gate operator. It has undergone rigorous
factory load testing and has been passed as ready for site installation.
Please ensure that you read these instructions fully and any other instructions supplied
then simply follow the step-by-step instructions.
LI-2B Installation Manual
The LI-2B gate operators are suitable for gates that are correctly hinged and operate
smoothly and evenly both before and after the LI-2B gate operator is fitted.
The LI-2B gate operators are suitable for and guaranteed when the following conditions are
met.
The LI-2B gate drive system will drive a variety of gate styles, sizes and weights. Suitability
is dependant on the quality of hinging and the ongoing force required at ONE metre from the
hinge centre-point to open and close the gate. 15kg is the acceptable maximum for gates
opening IN (Pull) and 7.5kg for gates opening OUT (Push)
Do not connect to any 240-volt power, solar panel or battery if you do not understand any of
the instructions or have any doubts. Please call, fax or email us re your concerns BEFORE
you apply power to the unit or you may void your warranty.
DO NOT connect the RED spade terminal to the battery until you are ready to set the Limit
Switches. The RED spade terminal is supplied disabled* from the battery. (* i.e. Not
connected to the battery)
Important
•All power (240 volt/battery/solar panel) MUST be disconnected before moving Logic
Controller (circuit board) to change battery.
•Correct use of a SURFACE insecticide spray** is advised to deter insects from causing
damage to the electronics.
** To avoid loss of warranty – DO NOT SPRAY OR ALLOW ANY LIQUIDS ONTO ANY
ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY.
LI-2B Installation Manual
Installation
Standard Installation
A “Standard Installation” is one where the gate(s) open by swinging INWARDS towards the
motor housing.
The gate hinge should be no more than 200mm from the rear of the pier/post. Side room of
350mm is required to accommodate the swing of the arms.
Refer to Pages 10 & 11 if there is restricted side room (See figure 1)
Installation Procedure
1. Ensure that the gates swing freely and that all existing latches/pad-bolts/chains etc
are disabled or removed from the gate and gate posts.
2. When using a 240-volt unit, The Master operator (the one containing the circuit
board) should be fitted to the gatepost nearest the power supply. Remove the cover(s)
from the operator to access the slotted fixing holes in the rear of the chassis. Bend
the tabs out and bend them back against the rear of the chassis, in this position they
act as a spacer allowing clearance for the cover(s). NOTE: Do not remove these tabs –
just bend them out and fold them to the back unless you are using the OPTIONAL
mounting plate.
3. Position each unit on the gate-post{s} approximately 50mm from the edge of the
pier/post. The vertical position is found by locating the gate bracket. The gate
bracket is best placed where there is adequate fixing on the gate and movement of the
arms is unrestricted (See Figure 2). The gate operator may now be bolted in place.

4. If you have a pair of gates then connect the slave to the Master Unit with 2 core
Flex/Cable (Max load 8 Amp at 12 Volts) (See Figure 3). The LI-2B operators are set
in the factory for a “Standard Installation” with the Master placed on the LEFT HAND
SIDE (From the inside looking out). If the Master has to be located on the right then
the motor wires need to be reversed. To accomplish this, locate the connection blocks
for each motor on the Circuit Board. Swap the BROWN and BLUE wires for Motor 1
and Motor 2 (See Figure 3)
5. The gate bracket should be positioned so the arms are ALMOST in a straight line
when the gates are closed (See figure 4). To check the location of the gate brackets,
first disengage the Main arm from the drive shaft (using the spanner provided,
unscrew the bolt until the arm swings freely) THEN CLAMP THE GATE BRACKET IN
POSITION. Open and close the gate to ensure the gate bracket is appropriately
located.

6. Connect Power (12 volt or 24 volt or solar) to the Primary operator and connect the
battery
7. The Limit Switches may now be adjusted (See figure 5). Each of the Master and Slave
operators has its own pair of cams, one to set the open position and one to set the
closed position. Firstly mark the position of each cam as a reference. Loosen the
screw holding the cams. Operate the LI-2B operator with the transmitter and note
which cam controls opening and which cam operates the closing motion. (The cam
lobe activates a Limit Switch to turn off the motor). Reposition each cam and operate
the LI-2B again. Repeat until the gates open and close to the required positions.

LI-2B Installation Manual
Side Mount Installation
The LI-2B operator may be mounted sideways with the long side against the pier/post for
extra flexibility.
This feature is very useful for situations where (Refer to figure 6)
•The gate must swing further than 90 degrees
•The gate swings outwards
•The gate swings outward and it is positioned at least 400mm forward of the back of
the pier/post
Note: See section on out swing installation.
Each LI-2B operator should be fitted to the pier/post with its output shaft close to the gate
hinge. With this in mind the “Standard Installation” instructions may now be followed.
Special covers are supplied to suit this type of installation.
