Carefully read, follow, and accept all safety precautions and warnings. Incorrect installation can lead
to severe injury or death.
• The gate operator must be installed by a trained gate technician; otherwise serious personal injury or
property damage may occur.
• Installing a gate operator may require installation of standard 110V-120V AC electrical wiring. This
work should only be performed by an experienced electrician. Miswiring could cause personal injury or
DEATH.
• Never let children operate the gate or play around the gate. Keep the remote control away from
children.
• Always keep people and objects away from the gate. Cars, people, and other objects should never
enter when the gate is closing.
• Verify that this operator is proper for the type, weight, and size of the gate.
• Make sure the gate has been properly installed and slides freely in both directions with no resistance.
Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation.
• Test gate operator monthly. The gate must reverse when it comes in contact with a solid object, or
stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or travel limit, re-test
the gate operator. Failure to maintain the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or
death.
• Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
• Keep the gate and gate operator properly maintained. Read the maintenance section of this manual
and follow the maintenance schedule. Have a certified service technician make repairs or install gate
operator hardware.
• Gate operators can use a huge amount of force to open and close a gate. Therefore, safety features
must be taken into consideration when installing and using a gate operator. Specific safety features
include: photoelectric sensors, edge sensors (contact), moving gate warning signs, guards for exposed
rollers, screen mesh, vertical posts, and more.
• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and
adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
• Entrapment is defined as when a person, vehicle, or object is caught or held in a position that
increases the risk of injury.
• Access controls intended for users must be located at least 6 feet (1.8m) away from any moving part
of the gate and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around, or through the gate to
operate the controls.
Safety

• A minimum of two (2) warning signs shall be installed, one on each side of the gate that is easily
visible.
• The gate must have sufficient room when opening and closing. The gate must be properly installed
and move freely in both directions.
•Inspect your gate to confirm: 1) The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the
usage class of the gate, 2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the
bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.15
mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of
the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position, 3) All exposed pinch points are
eliminated or guarded, and 4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
• For gate operators utilizing Type D protection: 1) The gate operator controls must be placed so that
the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving, 2) The placard shall be placed
adjacent to the controls, 3) An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar
device) shall not be employed, and 4) No other activation device shall be connected.
• The gate operator is intended for installation only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must access a
separate entrance. The pedestrian entrance shall be designed for pedestrian usage. The gate must be
installed in a location so that pedestrians will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the
entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.
• For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor, see instructions on the placement of non-contact
sensors for each Type of application, 2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping,
such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and 3) One or more non-contact
sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
• For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor, one or more contact sensors shall be located at the
leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide
gate. 2) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift
gate. 3) One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot
gate. 4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the
communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.
5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate
operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals
are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A
wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.
Safety
5
• Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment
protection device or devices must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily
accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
• Gate designs shall be constructed and installed with designs such that the gate cannot fall over
more than 45 degrees from the vertical plane if detached from the gates' supporting hardware.
• A gate latch shall not be installed on a automatically operated gate.
• The CM3 is powered by 110V-120V AC electricity. If you have not already done so, and you are not
using solar, wire a waterproof outlet near the gate following proper safety standards for your area.
If you are not experienced with this type of wiring or if your area requires it, hire a professional
electrician to perform this as well as wire in the CM3 gate operator. Make sure your electrician
takes into account the voltage drop involved in running many feet of wire to your installation
location. If an insufficient gauge of wire is used, the gate operator may have insufficient power. The
gate operator must be disconnected from the power source before the installation. This also
includes gate operator accessories.
• Keep these instructions.

Recommended Gate Structure
Gate Structure
Confirm that the gate operator being installed is appropriate for the gate type, weight and size. The
gate should be mounted and moving freely. There should be little resistance in the movement of the
gate. The gate and post must be suitable for being automated. Check that the structure is sufficiently
strong and stable, and that its dimensions and weights conform to those listed in the specifications
table of this document. Any worn or damaged gate hardware must be repaired or replaced before
installing the gate operator.
Vehicular gates are to be constructed and installed in accordance with the ASTM F2200 construction
standards.

Gate Posts and Guide Rollers
Important! The gate travel distance may vary due to temperature and other environmental factors. We do
not recommend the installation of a catch post. This can cause the gate to collide with the post. If using a catch
post at the end of the gate, set the close limit position to allow 1/2" to 3" of space before the gate collides with
the post or wall.
Not recommended
Do not use a catch post.

Install the operator INSIDE the property
Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and behind the gate. DO NOT install the
operator on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it.
Front Position
This is the standard position. We recommend installing the gate operator near the front.
The gate operator should be installed near the front roller of the gate.
Rear Position
The gate operator should be installed near the back of the gate while it is open.
Note: An additional idler pulley is required in this position.
