ENTRANCE GATE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
13. Mount flashing lights, bell and signs. The GP contact (#1) is provided for the position of the
gate and is typically used for flashing light control. Typically lights are turned off when the gate
is at 83 degrees or higher, however this angle is fully programmable. The BELL contact (#6) is
provided to turn off the bell when the gate arm is in the horizontal position. The angle at which
this occurs is fully programmable.
Strip Gate Control wires back before inserting into the GC+ and GC-
terminals on the control board. Maximum wire size for this connector is 12
AWG.
If wire ferrules are being used, the barrel size of the ferrule must not exceed
the outside diameter of #12 AWG wire
It may be necessary during change out from older style gate mechanisms to
replace the existing 10 AWG wire that runs from the junction box base to the
gate with 12 AWG wire.
14. Apply power to the mechanism (ensure connections are made with the proper polarity). This
will automatically set the horizontal position of the gate arm to zero degrees in the control board.
There is an accelerometer mounted to the main shaft that compensates for the gate arm angle
zero-degree position if the gate arm is not perfectly level to the ground.

Hand Cranking of Gate Mechanism
SIG-QG-21-01
Version: A
DISCONNECT POWER BY OPENING THE BATTERY TEST LINKS
(AREMA TERMINALS 4 AND 5) TO GATE MECHANISM BEFORE
INSERTING TOOLS FOR HAND CRANKING.
NEVER USE A CORDLESS DRILL IN PLACE OF A RACHET
